Special Visitors

Today we had two special visitors to Room 3 ...  Mrs Howie and her baby Jack!
We all think Jack is very cute. He is 5 weeks old now and still has a lot of  hair.
Mrs Howie is very proud of him. It was so great to finally meet the 'bump' from Mrs Howie's tummy.

Moss's Bug

Today one of our students brought a bug that he found. He wrote about it today and wanted to post it on our class blog.

This is Moss's story ...

Goodbye Harold

On Friday, all of Halcombe School kids went to the hall to say goodbye to Tim and Harold.
Tim turned on some 'Star Wars' music, and everyone laughed when Harold came out and had a pretend light saber battle with Tim. In the end, they didn't actually fight! They hugged each other!

We've learnt a lot about what makes us good learners and how the food we eat affects our learning. We are working on being good friends to each other.

Here's our last photo of Harold and Tim...

Life Education

Today we started our Life Education programme. We will be learning about what it means to be a good friend, have good self-esteem and how to relate better with others.

We met Tim and Harold in the Life Education caravan and had lots of fun learning about what things help us to come to school ready to learn ... a good sleep, a good breakfast, having had some exercise and having people who care for us and love us.

We will be seeing Tim and Harold again every Monday and Wednesday afternoon. We can't wait!

Friday Fun Day

Today was Friday Fun Day in the pool. We had loads of fun creating a whirlpool, dog paddling in it, then trying to swim against the flow!  We had noodle races and did an obstacle course where we had to dive over and swim under noodles.

These activities are great for building our water confidence, trying new skills (dolphin dives today), and just to enjoy being in the water.

Here are some photos ...

Learning Maths Games

Today in Maths, we learnt how to play a variety of different Maths games that involved addition and subtraction. Playing Maths games helps us practice basic facts and to get quicker and more accurate.
And it's fun learning with a buddy!
