Term 4 - Week 9

EOTC week was a huge success!!
Room 9 would like to thank all the wonderful parents that came along and helped out. Without you we would not have been able to have such a fantastic time. Here is what we got up to:

On Monday we went to Capital E and were entertained with a performance called "Who Nicked St Nic's Knickers". We even had a chance to chat to Santa and make some Xmas crafts. On Tuesday we had electives day at school. There lots of fantastic activities that had us making and creating! On Wednesday we went on a bush walk to Butterfly Creek. It was a challenging walk and we felt such as sense of accomplishment when we arrived back at school. On Thursday we did orienteering. There were a few tricky clues but everyone managed to figure them out by working together. In the afternoon we has a Christmas concert and we treated our parents to some Chrissy carols! Unfortunately beach day was canceled due to the weather but will still managed to grab a swim and have fish and chips for lunch!

Enjoy the photos!

Term 4 - Week 8

Room 9 has had a very busy few weeks. On Thursday we were luck enough to take some time out and have a free swim!

Term 4 -Week 6

Room 9 has just started working with clay. We learnt the skill of joining clay pieces together by making coil pots. First we rolled some clay out flat and cut a circle for the base. Next we rolled the clay between our hands to make sauasages. We had to try and make our sausages even in diameter. Then we coiled them around the base. To join the coils together we roughed up the surface of the clay with a toothbrush and dipped our finger in water and ran it over the top. The clay then acted like a glue. We carefully joined out
coils together. When they were dry we pained them in a bright
colour. Take a look!

Term 4 - Week 5

Our Athletics Day was held on Friday. There were many events to compete in and we had lots of fun. It was Room 9's first carnival and everyone tried their very best. We can't wait to have another go next year!!

Term 4 - Week 4

This week Room 9 has been publishing on our Writing Blog. In class we read the story of the The Three Little Pigs. Room 9 was then asked to look at the story from the pigs perspective or the wolfs perspective. We then wrote a police interview to record what happened.

The kids would love you to make a comment about their writing.
To do this look for the writing link on the Room 9 blog. Click on your child's name, then at the bottom of their piece of writing click on "comments". Write your comment in the box and click on publish comment.

We look forward to reading your comments!

Term 4 – Week 3

This week was a busy week as we have been working hard on assessment tasks. We took some time out from our demanding schedule to do some artwork. Have a look at our fantastic geckos. We used a resist technique. First we used oil pastels to outline our gecko then we used ink to colour the body. The ink was resisted by the oil pastel – that’s how we managed to stay in the lines. They are really colourful so we have displayed them in the corridor outside our room for everyone to look at.
Have a look for yourself!

Term 4 - Week 2

We have jumped straight back into our last term of being Year 3 student with energy and enthusiasm.

This week we started jump jam in the mornings. It has been fantastic to get energetic in the mornings to some groovy music. Some of the moves are really tricky to get but I am sure we will pick them up quickly. Check us out!




We have also started our new writing topic on recounting fairytales. We have been reading the Three Little Pigs and looking at the story from the Wolf’s point of view. Room 9 has come up with some fantastic ideas. Look out for them when we publish them on our writing blog next week!
