Thankyou Lauren ......



Thankyou Lauren for sharing your wonderful gingerbread house with the class. Such a generous thing to do and it was really Yummy.


In room 3 we can make and do anything if we try. Very impressed with this!


Amaze me Trip

What an amazing (excuse the pun)Trip we all had on Tuesday. The children who went were so well behaved and really appreciated by the staff there. It wouldn't of happened without the help of our Parent Helpers and I for one with no voice can't thank you enough for the role you played. Likewise Keryl Bawden our T.Aide has been exceptional with her help and was the brains behind the 'Magical' reindeer food! 
Our wonderful Parent Helpers

Your child will have probably told you I was losing my voice and I now have absolutely no voice, so I won't be back till Monday. I have heard Mrs Naidoo is looking after the class so I am sure all of their xmas crafts will get completed. Hopefully their folders got home in one piece and their reports (inside).
Monday despite being a shorter day is the day we will celebrate our year together and say our farewells in readiness for their class next year. While your child won't need lunch they will need a drink, hat and small snack ...plus lots of energy for our christmas party.
I would like to take this opportunity (should I not see you on the final day) to say a big thankyou for all your support and trust in me this year. They have all grown up so much and on Wednesday afternoon they returned from their new classrooms so happy and ready to embrace their next adventure in 2018. As a team, we've done well they are ready to make the world their own!
Best wishes for the summer break.

We have been looking at all the commercial trappings seen around us in shops. Now after our class activities last week they will  begin to understand some of the origins even countries they originated from. Please add any stories you may have from your country....👩

As the Mercury rises.....!



                                                Yes it is hot, no hotter than our classrooms.
Yes it was 28-29  Celsius in our room today with all windows ,doors open and the fan on!!!!
Yes we did melt so after lunch we doused the kids with the sprinkler  ...and by 2.00pm they were dry again.
Please send your child in light clothes at the moment...some have long sleeve jumpers on! and are really suffering.

Even hot in the shade!

Amazing what a bit of water can do to lift the spirits!

Week 7 ...


Week 7 is upon us and WOW what a busy term so far with the Assembly, amazing turnout for our Whanau Day, getting ready for our Student Led Conferences and of course all the excitement of  "The Season!"
Hopefully you have all received your time slots for the S.L.C. now and for those few who are still to return your slips please send them with your child so I can secure you a workable time.
It's a wonderful day where the children really reflect and share all their achievements this year and have their chance to show just how much they have matured this year....
I always have the camera ready and it's a wonderful opportunity for you to have a family photo as a souvenir of a special day / milestone in your child's life.

Many thanks for your attendance and support for the Room 3 School asssembly...
Just one small request, please does anyone have a class photo from the day. I didn't have my camera , too busy herding the excited butterflies on stage...especially when Mason won his bike and Maihi won one of the vouchers. Huge congratulations to those boys and their families. for an extraordinary effort.
