Room 3 Shake Out Participation 2021

This morning at 9:30am Room 3 tamariki took part in the New Zealand Shake Out earthquake drill. 

As soon as Mrs Golder's alarm went off we got down on the floor, put our hands over our head, stayed calm and quiet, and listened for earthquake noises to stop. Then we waited for our teacher to tell us when it was safe to get up.  

You all were as quiet as a mouse. Tino pai tamariki for performing this drill so well.

Hineiturama's Arm

Hineiturama had an accident a couple of weeks ago. Her mum took her to the hospital and the doctors and nurses put her arm in a cast. She's a little bit sore but is on the mend. Luckily, it was her left arm because she can still use her right arm to write and operate her ipad. 

Take care and be careful Hineiturama.

Oshin Uses Her Hands To Communicate

Sometimes it's just easier to leave your microphone off when you have to communicate with your teacher. Here's Oshin using her fingers to answer the doubles question.

Visual Arts: Buzzy Bee Part 1

Room 3 tamariki are learning about Kiwiana. 

Kiwiana is anything that makes us who we are as New Zealanders. One of the most famous and popular New Zealand toy is Buzzy Bee. It is a pull along wooden toy that makes a clickety-clackety sound. We watched a video on Buzzy Bee and then we began our drawing, thinking about the different shapes that we could see on Buzzy Bee, such as circles and ovals, and the interesting colours on the toy. 

Here is part 1 of our drawing of Buzzy Bee. 

Grace Heads Straight Into Her Online Learning Independently

 

Online learning for Term 4 2021 started this week. Here is Grace working very hard. It's great to see Grace using her  Room 3 Learning Hub site to learn independently without her teacher's guidance. You can see that she has completed her Spelling, Handwriting, Writing, Reading and Maths. She is very organised and knows what the online routines are. I am very proud of you Grace. Ka rawe for your independence. 

Online Learning: Split Screen

 

Room 3 has been learning how to split their screen. It is not an easy skill and takes a lot of practise. It took a while for the tamariki to learn how to perform this new digital skill. Here is Grace's split screen. The purpose of splitting the screen is to be able to stay in view at all times with the teacher and having your Room 3 Learning Hub in front of you so that you can view your learning tasks at the same time. Tino pai to all those tamariki who were able to split their screen.
