This is another busy week as we get through the term. On Tuesday night there is a meeting in the Salisbury Room about the National Standards and reports - this is because our reports are coming home on Friday. We have Cross Country at Cannington School on Thursday, hopefully it doesn't rain before then, I'm not sure it will go ahead if it does, fingers crossed! We have been practising a bit for the cross country and will have to put in a big effort this week to be more prepared for our run. We are finishing our collages this week, they are looking fantastic, so if you have time you should come and see them!

Mrs Stevenson taught us how to make a collage out of material. First we had to draw a plan, then we had get a big bit of cardboard and draw our plan onto it. Then we used material, sometimes we had to draw on the material and cut it out. We would use hot glue, pva glue or glue sticks depending on how heavy the material was. We are making collages about winter.

Wow, we're getting through the term quickly. This is Miss O'Connor's last week with us in Room 3, we have enjoyed having her teach us. She has been teaching us about problems in stories and how to identify the adjectives in our stories for reading, splitting up numbers to add them in maths, describing a character for story writing, collaging for art and about Hua (eggs) for science. Thank you Miss O'Connor for all your hard work while teaching us!

On Tuesday 27 April the Aranui Theatre Group performed for us in the Salisbury Room. They performed Frank and Friends for us, this was about recycling, reducing and reusing our rubbish. It was about two sisters who had to clean the garage because their Dad didn't want to do it. While they cleaned they pretended to be pirates on a ship. They sung songs and did dances, they were pretty funny. Rosa was picked to join them on the stage and was called Blue Bra Betty, she had to sing with them and dance. At the end they had made Frank out of their rubbish and talked to us about how to recycle our rubbish by checking what sort of rubbish it was. We enjoyed it!
