Leaf Prints by Room 3

Buddy Time With Room 1

Last week Rooms 1 and 3 got together for buddy time. The seniors worked with the juniors and supported them in their poem task called Autumn Leaves. Then we role modelled the word, flutter, so that we knew what it felt like to flutter like an autumn leaf falling off the tree. 

After morning-tea the students went to collect autumn leaves from around the school ground and used these to make leaf prints using paint. While some students were doing their leaf print painting, others who were waiting for their turn, drew pictures of leaves on their ipad. 

Mele's Thank You Message To The Builders

I like to thank the builders for building our new adventure playground. They did a very very good job. The builders made our favourite equipment. We had a lot of fun They made all of us smile. Room 3 was very happy. 

My favourite equipment is the flying fox.

Oshin writes about Maui's Trap

Maui had a plan with his brothers. He made a strong sturdy rope. The net was made out of flax. Then they made a trap. When Maui got the sun he caught it. He made a good trap.
