Buddy Class

On Friday mornings we meet with our Buddy class Room 13. We love having them visit and enjoy the time they spend with us. This week we spent some time getting to know our new buddies.

New Beginnings:

Hi everyone, we are all excited about the start of the new school year. It was great to see our old friends and meet new ones. Over the next few weeks we will welcome three new students to our fantastic learning space. We also have two new Teacher Aides helping us with our learning- Pru Jansen and Rania Anderson. This week we have been learning about how we can work together, how we are different and what makes us special and unique.

ROCKY SHORE TRIP

Along with the rest of the Junior Syndicate Room 4 went to Castor Bay. We had a wonderful time exploring the rock pools. We found all sorts of creatures including starfish, shrimp, anemones and crabs. Who would have thought there were so many different types of seaweed? It was hard work clambering over the rocks and we certainly enjoyed our lunch sitting under the big tree. Then we had fun playing on the playground and building sandcastles. It was soon time to climb back on the bus and return to school. We were very tired but had a great time.

JUNIOR SCHOOL HUFF AND PUFF

Las              On Tuesday Room 4 participated in the Junior School Huff and Puff. 

                    We had been practicing every day to get fit during fitness time. We ran with our Room 13 

                    buddies and had a great time.

STEPPING OUT WITH CONSTABLE HARWOOD

Last week Constable Harwood visited our class and showed us how to be safe when we’re out walking. We learnt about the safe way to walk along the footpath keeping to the house side. We practiced crossing the road the right way at the traffic lights and what to do when a vehicle is parked on the footpath. We even got to sit in the police car with Mrs Morley. It was great fun.

Look out for hazards on the footpath.

Walk close to the house side of the footpath when a vehicle is parked on the footpath.

What are you looking for Mrs Morley?

Stop! Look! and Listen before you cross the street.

Walk quickly across the road and keep checking for vehicles.

Patterns, Patterns Everywhere !!!

Did you know that there are patterns all around us?

Our whole class maths topic for this term is Algebra. 

 On Friday we went outside and looked for patterns. 

We found them everywhere. We even made rubbings 

using crayons. Keep checking our blog to find out 
what else we have been learning about patterns.

100 days at school

At the beginning of maths each day we talk about, and count numbers. Each day we count how many days we have been at school. Last term we celebrated 100 days at school.

We had a special maths session finding out about all the different ways we could make 100 !!!

BUDDY VISIT

Most Fridays our buddy class visits us. Our buddy class is Room 13 and we love it when we get together. They are going on camp soon and they shared some things about camp with us. They also helped us with our poetry and listened to us as we shared our published stories with them. Thanks for visiting us and have a fun time on camp.

ROOM 4 PRINT MAKERS

During Term 3 we experimented with print making. First we made print blocks using cardboard. We made a space scene with rockets and stars. Then we used white ink to make a print on black card. It was great fun and we made some fantastic space prints.

We went on the bus with Room 3 and 6     to the Star Dome. First we sat in funny seats and watched a movie about stars and planets. Then we looked at some models of planets and space rockets. We even pretended to be astronauts.
