Week 3

We have continued with our reading and maths groups and have settled well into work. I am very imppressed with the thinking and discussion that is happening in group sessions. Keep it up!

Word of the Week:
This week we are looking at 2 words: Migrate and Immigrate. These words fit in well with our Identity topic.

Topic:
We have discussed what it means to be a New Zelander. What qualities make us special?

Camp:
We have begun to prepare for camp with permission letters and offers of parent help. We will go over camp goals and expectations over the next few days.

Camp Competition:
I am looking for an amazing camp booklet title page. Design a camp title page - include Room 3 camp 2010 somewhere on the page.
Entries to me by Friday. And yes there will be a prize for the winning entry!

Homework:
Complete the "It's all about me" work and research an important date in New Zealand history. Remember this is to be displayed.
Due Friday.

It has been a very fun week back at school.

Maths:
This week we have been doing Maths on decimals and also we have been doing maintenance for everyday basic facts and knowledge.
Reading:
For reading we have used flipcharts off the interactive board. Also reading about cockroaches (ewww!) Kehu, Sir Edmund Hillary and Follow the Gold (chinese gold miners). After reading we do an after reading activity.
Writing:
We have been doing recounts for writing and so far has been successful. To present we have no recounts as yet but we will have some pages after camp and the powhiri.
