These young scientists know a bit about snow making!

Temperatures plummet during the freak snow storm.

Christmas comes to Room 3

Everyone gets a chance to cuddle one of our Christmas cuties.

Thank you to Nisha's Mum for these delicious individually named gingerbread cookies.

Some people put their cookies into an array so we could do some multiplication: 3 x 5 = 15, while other people were busy eating theirs, leading us to do subtraction: 26 - 15 = 11.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Room 3 Aquarium

Room 3 students have made and painted clay fish.  These are now on display in our 'aquarium'.  Parents, you are welcome to visit the classroom to see them or leave a comment on the blog.

Mr Cuddles faces surgery

 Mr Cuddles underwent surgery before school on Tuesday in the Room 3 Operating Theatre.  We are happy to report that he has made a full and speedy recovery.

The medical team suspected infected neck tissue.

Better out than in!

Hannah C checks vital signs - everything AOK.

Ethan administered anaesthetic in bear size amounts.

Diseased cranial tissue had to be removed from a lesion in the brain.

Two days later, and Mr Cuddles had made a full recovery.

Pathologists examined the brain tissue to determine the cause of illness.

Weetbix Tryathalon

Jackson, Hannah T and Bella competed in the Weetbix Tryathalon on Wednesday.

Every competitor had their own number and tatoos.

Clay Fish

Our clay fish have been fired, so it was time to undercoat them in white paint so that the background colour looks vivid and bright.
