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.

Polar Bear Club - Week 2

All the swimmers rated the temperature of the water after the second Polar Bear Club, and most people thought the water in the pool was warmer.

City meets Country

On Wednesday we wore our gum boots to do PE after we had practised our dance!

Ocean Layers

As part of our Under the Ocean theme, we have been learning about the different layers in the ocean, their environments and how sea creatures have adapted to live in a particular zone in the ocean.  Our Year One buddies helped us make enough marine animals so that most animals are represented.

 After we had finished our wall display, everyone made their own representation using KidsPix.

Thank you for sharing your diagram on the class blog, Kaleb.

Polar Bear Club week 6

Most students from Room 3 and Room 5 joined the Polar Bear Club on Friday.  The new solar panels mean the water in the swimming pool is warmer than other years.  After our swim, Polar Bear Cubs rated how they had found the water temperature and most people found it warm(ish) using a scale of 1 to 10.

Here is the chart showing how we rated water temperature.

Halloween comes to Room 3

We lit our jack'o'lantern for Halloween.

Some people made bats for the classroom door.  We also had spiders hidden in our desks!

We had to find all the ghosts hidden in the picture.
