Discovery with Room 3

On Friday Room 3 came to share some of our discovery time with us. We had a great time. We learnt some great skipping moves, made a new structure for the train track, made puppet shows and felt stories. Some of us even finished jigsaw puzzles.

We also used salt to float an egg in water.

There was lots of sharing and questioning, not to mention helping each other.

Pancakes will be one of next weeks discovery! Yum!!!

Mathletics

This week we have been playing mathletics on the computer. Most of us had our bronze awards after 1 day of playing. We have learnt lots of new things and have played live maths against people from all over the world.

Mathletics is only avaliable until 9am on Monday.

Discovery Day - 21 August

Today Janna came to help out with discovery day. Some of us made play dough with her. It was lots of fun, we had to follow a recipe and work together to measure the ingredients.

Caleb, Ethan and Casen spent lots of time co-operating to get the railway built. They even found some boxes from last week and used them to create tunnels and sheds for the trains.

Some of us learnt how to skip in a big rope. We had to get our timing right or the rope hurt when it hit you. Tyler and Jahleea couldn't skip at the start of discovery but were superstars by the time they finished.
We also used the lego, the felt stories and worked on reading eggs on the computers.

Wonder what discovery next week will be?????

Discovery Day

We had our first discovery day today and it was lots of fun. Some of us make marble tracks and others used lots of different things to blow bubbles. We used the camera and the computers.

We had lots of fun and found out that it is important to share, co-operate with each other, listen to our group, challenge ourselves and lots more.

Wonder what we will do next week????

STRIKE percussion

On Thursday we went to the hall to watch STRIKE percussion. There were 3 men in the group.



The music they played was really, REALLY loud. They played drums, high has and snare drum, they even made music with cans of Fresh up.
Cameron enjoyed when they all played the drums. Most of the class enjoyed the part when they made music with fire.
Lots of the class would like to learn to play an instrumnt.
