Welcome to 2020

I am in Year 3. 

My teacher is Mrs Marais.

This will be an awesome year.

A Puppet Show

WALT create and perform a puppet show. 

Room 10/11 had a great opportunity to create and perform a puppet show from scratch! They had to write the script, make the stage and props such as a butterfly, a cocoon, a caterpillar and different types of foods. They practised for a few weeks and developed their acting and understanding of stage performance. Take a look at Summer's group’s performance.

Little cute caterpillar 

Setting Description: Snowflakes are falling down at night time and a snowman is there. 

Narrator: One day a caterpillar came out of an egg (The caterpillar wiggles out of the egg). 

Narrator: The caterpillar was hungry. 

Narrator: The caterpillar ate a strawberry. 

Narrator: On Wednesday he ate an ice-cream, lollipop, apple, 2 fish and a big leaf. 

Narrator: Then he ate an egg, chocolate and candyfloss. The caterpillar ate too much food so he had a stomach ache. Narrator: The caterpillar then turned into a cocoon (Caterpillar changes into a cocoon). 

Narrator: After a few days later, the cocoon hatched. 

Narrator: Then came a beautiful butterfly. The end!

Book Character Dress Up Day!

On Thursday 21 November, Room 10/11 had a fun day dressed up as their favourite book characters. There were princesses, witches, wizards, Hairy Maclary and many other characters from different books! It was great to see the love of reading and making a connection to those characters. Well done Room 10/11 for your amazing effort and costumes! 

Art Show - Green Lipped Mussels!

We are learning how to roll and mould clay to form the shape of a mussel shell and meat.

Room 10/11 have made the Mussel artwork for the Art Show that is taking place in Term 3 Week 9. We observed closely on what features green-lipped mussels have and learned to use clay to carefully mould its shape for both the shell and the meat. After, we used the sculpting tools to show different textures on the mussel. Then we used colours to paint the mussel shell and the meat to create the authentic look! Lastly, we used real sand from a beach to make our background. 

Number Lines

WALT use a number line to solve addition and subtraction.

In maths, we have been learning to use a number line to solve different types of addition and subtraction problems. We also solved some of the word problems to challenge ourselves. 

Cinquain poem

WALT write a cinquain poem

As part of our writing, we learned about the cinquain poem. It's a 5-line poem with nouns, verbs, adjectives and a sentence. Because we are focusing on the sea creatures as part of our inquiry - sustainability and conservation - we drew the picture of the shark, as our poem was on them. 

Junior assembly

WALT celebrate and share our learning achievement with others

This term, we hosted one of the junior assemblies. Some of us spoke in front of the junior school while others showed our amazing works like cinquain poem and fraction art. It was a great time to celebrate each others' successes and we can't wait to have another day to host the assembly!
