ANZAC DAY

In Room 3 we have been learning a little bit about ANZAC day.

We watched a video and learnt what ANZAC day is and we watched a video to learn about poppies.

We know ANZAC day is "about remembering the people who died in the war" (Charlotte)

We wear poppies because "they died in the field for us and we hope they have a lovely time in heaven" (Julia)

We also have a field of remembrance set up at school.  Here we are visiting it today...

Kei te pehea koe?

In Room 3 we are learning to speak Te Reo Maori.

We have been learning how to say our names and how to respond when someone asks us "Kei te pehea koe? How are you?

We have watched a video which helps us to learn some of the words!

Here it is...

Swan Plants

Today Room 3 went and observed some swan plants! Guess what we found! CATERPILLARS!!! Here are a few snaps of us observing! Swan Plants on PhotoPeach

The letter m

Each day we focus on a new letter of the day.
We discuss the sound the letter makes, all the words we know that start with that letter and we sing songs about the letter.
We sing the jolly phonics song and sometimes a song from youtube.

Here is the m song for you!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

In Room 3 we are learning about The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

Here is the story so you can watch it again!

Getting to know each other

It has been a busy week!  We have been getting to know each other and learning how to get along together along with many other things!

Here are some pictures of us learning together!


Getting to know each other on PhotoPeach I hope everyone has had a lovely first few days!

Welcome to 2015!

WOW!  What an amazing summer break it has been!  There has been soo much sunshine to enjoy!

I have had a very busy holiday!  We spent Christmas at my Dad's house in Te Puru then traveled to my father in laws house in Omaio!  We spent a long time there and traveled to Gisborne for new years and to see Marks Grandma who was in hospital.  We spent some time in Whitianga with friends and enjoyed the sunshine there. We did a few day trips to various beaches and I went to the redwoods on my new mountain bike and brought a new snazzy helmet!

Here is a picture of the beautiful sunset at Te Puru...

I am looking forward to having you all in Room 3 this year and am excited to see you all very soon!

I hope you have had an amazing holiday and are excited to start school!

Love

Mrs Butler
