Please Add a Title

What a great place to visit! We had a fantastic day.
Check out the Auckland Art Gallery website

Room 3 thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Art Gallery. 
The gallery's organisation and staff's wonderful manner with the children was outstanding. 
I was really impressed on how they focused on a minimal amount of artwork, discussed the artwork and really got the children to think for themselves - the children achieved such a wonderful learning experience.
The gallery offers programmes and tours to suit students of all ages.

A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SCHOOL TRIP 
A special thank you to Mandy Jakich

The Littlest Christmas Tree


On Friday the Junior School held their final assembly for the year.
All the Junior classes participated in an item.
Room 3 buddied up with the new entrant classes Room 18 and 34 to present our play.
'The Littlest Christmas Tree'
We found the play on the DLTK website


We made a few changes to the play.
The Santa narrators were Orlando, George, Aryaan, Nicolas, Aum, Kairyn and Alvin.
Joshua filled in for Alvin as he was away sick. 
Thanks Aum for coming along to act out your part
even though you weren't feeling so well.
The other characters were the pine trees, bunnies, birds, fairies, elves, angels and family members.
We had a lot of fun practicing and learning the lines to the songs.
Sometimes it's a bit hard to hear our singing BUT we were singing!

Did you enjoy our play?
What do you think about our flash costumes?
Has your school had a Christmas assembly?

Telling the Time - Authentically


After learning to tell the time Room 3 noticed a large clock on the 
Junior courtyard.
"Mrs Laburn, it has no hands!"
"Well, we can fix that!"
Four children acted as the big hand and 
three children acted as the little hand.
Watch what we do as someone calls out the time.

Have you learnt how to tell the time?

Playing Road Patrols - Road Safety


Aryaan and George are playing road patrols. 
They are teaching Maia, Kevin, Gina and Alvin 
how to cross the road safely.
Can you see how they look both ways for traffic 
before they put the signs out?
And check again before they let the children cross the road.
Maia, Kevin, Gina and Alvin don't run across the road they walk.
Notice how they don't talk to the patrols. 
They don't want to distract them from checking the road for traffic.
Great job Aryaan and George - you are excellent patrols!


Keeping Safe
Road safety is a thing that you should learn if you want to keep safe and have a healthy life. Here are the things that you should do if you want to keep safe  and have a healthy life. Never talk to strangers  because they might be dangerous. You should not play on the road because you might get run over by a car. Watch out for sneaky drive ways. If there is a pedestrian crossing around use it because it's safer to use. Wear a helmet when you ride your  bike, scooter, or skate board so you don't crack your head open if you fall on the concrete. You should always go to the park with an adult because you might get stolen by a stranger.  BY ASHIRA  
      
Keeping Safe
Road Safety helps you. These are some of the things you need to do.
1.  Never run on the road because when you are dead you are dead.
2. Never talk to strangers because they can hurt you.
3. Watch out for sneaky driveways because a car could be backing out of their driveway.
4. If there is a pedestrian crossing close cross there because otherwise you could get hit by a car.
5. Wear a helmet when you're riding a bike because if you fall off you can get brain damage.
6. Play in your backyard because it is safer.
7. When you go to the park you need a parent to supervise you because somebody could take you.
8. Don't worry about a ball that goes on the road. Don't run on the road to get it.
Those are some things how to keep safe.
