ROOM 3's GALA STALL

Last week we spent most of our spare time getting ready for our annual school gala. We decided we would use what have learnt so far about recycling and make things to sell at gala. Runu came up with two great ideas, coke bottle flowers and coke bottle vases, which we spent all day Friday putting together. Thank you to Runu, Ms Stewart, Mrs Nobilo and Mr Andrew for all of their help on Friday, also Mrs Sullivan and Mrs Barker for donating the plants we used for the vases. We couldnt have done it without all of your help.

UKULELE

Every Friday we are lucky to have one of our lovely mums come in and teach us music. Last term we did recorders (ahhh!) and this term we are learning ukulele. Here we are the first time we played. It was heaps of fun!

ANIMAL POETRY

This week we looked at a poem about a cricket. Miss A had taken the word 'cricket' out of the poem so we had to use the clues in the text to figure out what the poem was about. Then we used how that poem was written and we wrote our own poems about animals. Here are some of them.

BECOME A FOLLOWER...

Your challenge tonight is to become a follower of our blog. All you will need is an email address. Maybe you could do this with your family or an older brother or sister. Its not hard but you do need to do a couple of things that you might need help with. Remember NOT to put your whole real name or say anything about yourself. This is a really important internet safety tip. Maybe you could use your blog name. See if you can remember what this is. There are parts of the blog that might give you clues as to what it is.

Let me know tomorrow if you managed to become a follower. If you had trouble have a chat to some people in our class who have managed to do it.

GOOD LUCK.... Miss A

- Large cans

- Newspaper and magazines

We will keep adding to this list as we decide what else we need. Make sure it is all washed and clean before you bring it to school so it doesnt smell.

SPCA FUNDRAISER 2009

In Term 2 we did a huge fundraiser for the SPCA. Room 3 organised it and the senior syndicate helped with donations. We donated over 300 items, then went to visit all of the animals and drop off what we had collected. The SPCA were very impressed with our effort and we are goin to appear in 'Kidz Mag' at the end of October. We are very excited. Watch our cool ad to see what we got up to.

ATHLETICS TRAINING

At the moment we are training for our athletics day. This afternoon we played a version of 'boffa tag' where you are chased down the sprint track by someone with half a pool noodle. If they catch you and hit you, you're out. Its great for getting us to run really fast. Even Mr D and Miss W had a go! It was so much fun!!!
