Wicked - Hooked on Te Reo Maori

Rachel has shared some fantastic things with our class this week in Te Reo Maori.  She showed us an animation about a little boy who kept on loosing things! It was very funny! This website has lots of fun things on it too

tens frame maths

Hey Room 3,
I've added a new maths game to our websites to try section.  Have a go at practising your tens frames and number recognition.
Have a good weekend :0) 

hooking in day

We had such a great day on Wednesday the junior syndicate got 'hooked - in' to our new topic.  Each teacher chose a story from Maori myth & legend.  Mrs Moses read the story of how the kiwi lost it's wings, Mrs Brown read the story of how Maui slowed the sun, Miss Rhodes read the Battle of the Mountains and Mrs Mudge read the story of Maui and the finger of fire.

Making our waka paddles last week

All the children split into four groups and then visited each class in our Wakas! (We made waka paddles last week)  We collected things along the way to remind us of each story that we heard. At the end of the morning, we reflected up all that we had heard and tried to think about why the stories exist.

Welcome to Term 3

Welcome back Room 3! It is so great to be back at school. Today we have had our spell-a-thon. I am so impressed by your super spelling and what a lot of money we have raised for school. Don't forget, now you need to collect your sponsor money and bring it back to school.
Congratulations!
