Room 3's Assembly

Here we are on the stage ready to start assembly.

 

 



 

On Friday the 20th of June Room 3 took the Whole School Assembly. First we sang our Welcome Song:

 

Kia ora, Talofa, Maloeleilei,

Welcome to our assembly today.

 

Next we sang the National Anthem. We stood proudly and put our hands over our hearts.

 

Then we showed the school our Photostory of the jobs we do around the classroom.
 

Then Noah did his job. He asked Korban and Violet from Room 14 to help him read the news. Noah did a really good job.

 

Then we sang two songs. Our friends from Room 18 helped us to sing 'With a Little Help From My Friends'. Room 18 then sang 'Lean on Me' by themselves. Then we sang 'Johnny Be Goode' with the whole school. Thank you for your help Room 18.

 

It was then Angel's turn to do her job, She gave out the special Sports Awards to Sir Mr Timo, Dame Whaea Dagma and Dame Mrs. Key. She did a great job and it was very funny. Everyone laughed.

 

 

 

 



 

Next it was Shylay's turn to read her description of Whaea Barb. She read it very confidently. Then Whaea Barb gave out the Class Awards.

 

 Finally we gave Levi the Teddy to Room 16 because they were the best behaved class at assembly.

 

It was then time to say goodbye. As the school left the hall we all danced to One Direction singing 'One Way or Another'.

 

We had an awesome time taking assembly. Mrs Robinson and Mrs Bharath were very proud of us.  

 



Being A Good Friend

 

Good citizens are good friends.

We found out that good friends :

• are helpful
• play nicely
• are kind
• say nice things to each other

 
 
 

Here are some drawings that we
made of ourselves and our best friends.

Being Helpful

 

 

This week we have learnt how to be a good citizen by being helpful.

 

 

We all have jobs to do at school every day. Some of our jobs are:

 

• putting the chairs up
• Getting the lunches
• Giving out the fruit
• being the teacher's helper
• tidying the class library
• cleaning the classroom
• taking the lunch bin outside

 

We enjoy doing our jobs.

Tyson is our helpful door monitor.

 

 

 

Arani and Bailey-Rae are putting out the lunch bin.
 

Angel and Matheus are the chair monitors.

Term 2 Reading

 

This Term we are learning how to work out new words by ourselves. We look at the first letter and say the sound. Next we look at the last letter.

 

 

We like doing our activities. We buddy read our book. We read books from our book boxes. We also read our word cards.

 

 

We are reading Red and Emergent books.

Daises are reading from their book box.

 

 

Roses are reading their basic words from their word box.

Welcome to Term 2

 

 

We have new people in our class this Term, so here is a new photo of us all.

 

This Term we are learning how to be good citizens. We have learnt that a citizen is a person who lives in a town, or a city, or a country. We are all citizens of Auckland City and we are all citizens of New Zealand. We are also citizens of the World.

At the moment we are learning what a good citizen is. Join us again in a couple of weeks and we will tell you all about  what we have learnt.



Written English

Learning Intention: We are learning how to write our stories by ourselves.

Success Criteria: We will know we can do this when we can:-

• write our name correctly
• draw a clear picture for our plan 
• miss lines
• leave finger spaces between words
• copy words off our word cards
• write some words and beginning letter sounds by ourselves
• publish our work carefully and neatly

This Term we have been writing recounts about things that we have been doing at home and at school. We also learnt how to write a retell. As part of our Inquiry about the Treaty of Waitangi we learnt about the Maui stories. Our favourite was Maui and the Sun, so we wrote our retell about that story.

Here are three of our stories.



Inquiry Term 1 2014

 

Make Your Mark.

 

I make my promise, I keep my promise.

 

What makes a strong partnership?

This Term Room 3 learnt about the Treaty of Waitangi . We looked at videos of Waitangi Day celebrations and at photos that showed what the signing ceremony might have looked like.

We then made our own Class Treaty. A treaty is a promise and we all promised to keep our Class Treaty. To help us do this we designed our own flag and then had a ceremony where we signed our Class Treaty. We lay the Treaty on our class flag just like they lay the Treaty of Waitangi on the British flag. Then we all signed it.  Here are Bailey-Rae and Shylay signing our Class Treaty.

We also made a promise to come to school every day and we have been very good at keeping this promise.

We learnt that The Treaty of Waitangi is also about partnership. We made a promise to learn our school haka and our school song 'Pepeha'. These photos show us learning the haka. Our partners from the Senior School came every day for a week to help us learn the haka. They were very good teachers and we are very grateful that they helped us.  These photos show us practising the haka.

 

 

 

Learning the haka helped us learn that being a good partner is about working together.
