Daffodil Day

Hi EVERYBODY!

This week we had a mufti day to raise money for Daffodil Day.  Daffodil Day is a day when we wore mufti then we donated a gold coin each to the NZ Cancer Society.  The money will help people who are sick with cancer.  Sylvia Park School managed to raise over $600 today - Well DONE!  

We also did the Sasa as a whole school.  Check out the photos below.

That's all for this week, talk to you next week.

Year 3 Speeches

Hi EVERYBODY!

This week we were lucky enough to be invited to watch the Year 3 speech finals.  We were so amazed by some of the speeches.   The Year 3 finalists used really presuasive reasons to convince us! We can't wait until next year when we get to have a turn at saying a speech.

That's all for this week, talk to you next week.

Bye!

Dancing

Hi EVERYBODY,
In Room 6 we have been learning about dancing.  We have seen break dancing, ballet, tap dancing, rock n roll, tinkiling, hip hop and the Samoan sasa.  We have even had a go at making up our own dances in partners.  We think our dancing is AMAZING!  Look at the photos of us making up a dance.
That's all for this week, talk to you next week.

Maths in Room 6

Hi EVERYBODY!
In Room 6 we LOVE learning about numbers as much as we love reading.  This term we are learning about multiplication and division by making groups and sharing objects.  We have also been looking at numbers over 100.  Go ahead and test us out, give us a number from 100-1000 to read.  You could even come and visit Room 6 and we will show you how to read numbers over 100.
Check out the pictures of us doing our independent maths activities below.
That's all for this week, talk to you next week.

Term 3

Hi EVERYBODY!
Welcome to Term 3.  This term is very exciting - we have lots of things happening.
Our inquiry topic for this term is: Step up, step out.  Why dance?  We had a disco this week so we could have a go at dancing ourselves.  It was a lot of FUN!!
This week is also Maori language week.   We have been learning new words in Room 6.  Why don't you come by and ask us to share them with you?  We are going to carry on learning a new word a day until the end of the term - by then we will know 50 new words to say!!
Kowhai team was lucky enough to have Ronald McDonald come and teach us how to be safe around the road.  We talked about wearing seatbelts, sneaky driveways, pedestrian crossings and walking  on the footpath away from the road.  Georgia even helped Ronald to find his missing sock!  Check out the photos below.
That's all for this week, talk to you next week.

Writing

Hi everybody!
This term we are learning how to write descriptions.  This week we decided to write about an amazing principal - can you guess who? That's right - the one and only.... WHAEA BARB!!! We loved talking about what she looks like and what she does, before writing about her.  Have a read of the ones we've put below. If you like them come to Room 6 and read some more from our published writing folders.  We look forward to seeing you!
That's all for this week.....
