Our 3D Robots

We made some wonderful 3D robots with Miss Hong. We were learning all about shapes.

We're Having a Bad Hair Day

Last week we completed some cool Bad Hair Day' art with Miss Tailby. Don't they look fantastic!

Our Experiments

The past few weeks we have been having a lot of great discussions about CHANGE. We have been looking into the difference between permanent and temporary change and what this means. We have some done some experiments with cornflour and water, popping corn and ice cubes.

Junior Huff 'n 'Puff

On Tuesday we had a beautiful sunny day for our annual Huff 'n' Puff event. The Year 1 children ran once around the top field and the Year 2 children ran twice. We all participated and had fun. Next year we will begin running in the school cross country where we compete for places with the other Year 3 children in the syndicate.

Our 50th Jubilee

On the 19th of November we celebrated our 50th jubilee. This week we have had a look at information and events that have happened over the past five decades. We also looked at what was inside the 25th jubilee time capsule and created a class piece to add to the 50th jubilee time capsule. We all made predictions about what school would be like in the future.

Our Wonderful Owls

One afternoon we created some wonderful owls using coloured paper. We really like how different and unique they are.

Being Firewise

In the first few weeks of this term we were learning all about being firewise. To finish off our unit of work we created some fire engines using coloured paper.  We first sketched a fire engine and coloured it in then replicated it using coloured card. Mrs Hanson thinks we did a great job!

Spring is Here

Spring is here! During the last couple of weeks of the term we made a spring tree, some frolicking lambs and wrote some cinquain poems to describe spring.  Look out for some of our published poems next week!

Auckland Library Visit

In Term 3 we had a visit from the Auckland Libraries. Some local librarians, from Glenfield Library came to our school to talk about all the wonderful books at the library that we can borrow. They also talked to us about he importance of looking after the books that we borrow.

Learning about Place Value

During maths time some of us play a game to understand place value. We roll a dice and keep adding to our score while also keeping track of how many hundreds, tens and ones the total is made up of.

Conservation Week

For a homework challenge we were asked to show ways we look after our environment at home. Well done to Zeph, Xin ru, Jayden, Jonas, Esther and Alex for completing the challenge.

Green Thinking Hats

Mrs Hanson asked us to put on our green thinking hats and create something new from a box on a page. We thought of all sorts of different things. Once we had drawn our picture we explained to Mrs Hanson what we had created and she wrote it down to explain our drawing.
