Welcome to Room 16's blog for 2016. We are a fantastic class of stunning year 3 learners and our kaiako is Whaea Tearani.
Rooms 16 and 20 are having our annual Xmas Decoration making. This year Room 21 joined us. This is a fabulous opportunity for us to get together and practise the skills of sharing, leading, and supporting each other, both teachers and children, not to mention consolidating our key competencies.
Today the Middle School were very fortunate to have Mr Raynor from
Auckland Museum came to talk about Animal Adaptations.
We saw a Moa leg and it's predator the Haast Eagle - skull and claw. The Moa and Haast Eagle are now extinct.
Thank you for coming to talk to us Mr Raynor!!!
He bought a mount of a little spotted kiwi. Our national bird can still become extinct if we do not look after their habitats and eliminate their predators.
Some of the predators we introduced to NZ are Mice, Rats, Stoats, and Cats. These animals often kill our native birds.
Today is our final bible session with Mrs Burgess. Room 16 has been fortunate to have our lovely Mrs Burgess with us throughout the year.
Have a wonderful Christmas Mrs Burgess from Room 16 XOXOX
RWe are fast approaching the end of this school year, we only have 3 weeks left!!!
Well done our Lauren, Auralie, and for their wonderful tap dance.
Well done Aarav a well deserved certificate for improved Basic Facts. Kapai Aarav.
The Auckland Library told us about it's competition starting soon. 12 children from our class took part in their bean bag competition.
This afternoon Rooms 16 and 20 had an afternoon of inquiry learning together. We made Stick Insects and carried on with our camouflage pictures.
We are off to visit the animals! The children of Rooms 8 and 16 are definately excited - the talking and noise in the bus proves this. Personally I am looking forward to being up close and personal with the Giraffe and maybe lunch with the elephants! A wonderful day ahead!
Kevin from Auckland Badminton will be teaching us about how to play badminton.
We learnt about how to hold the racket and shuttlecock.
Kevin showed us some trick shots that we could practice.
Thank you Kevin can't wait to have another go!
It was FUN!!!!
Today the Middle Syndicate held their Trash to Fashion Parade. All Middle School Classes have been making their entries over the last week.
