Sumdog Waikato Contest

This is our chance a Room 3, we're currently leading but need to keep the lead by YOU getting on at home (if you can) and completing your 1000 questions. 

Think about how great it would be to win a full subscription for everyone in the class!!

WE CAN DO IT!!

See you Thursday,

Sumdog National Contest

Congratulations Ben!! 19th on the leaderboard of our first Sumdog Contest!! It looks like you are going to be the first to your 1000 questions.
Keep up the great work Room 3, we have slipped down from 5th to 13th place overall but I'm sure you can change this by putting in your best effort next week.  Get on at home if you can and make the most of your independent learning time in Maths.  I will be watching with interest from home.  See you all Thursday.

Poppy Art

Poppies are used to commemorate soldiers who died fighting in WW1.  Today we began painting poppies by mixing warm colours and blending them to highlight light and dark.  We listened to our audiobook, Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo whilst sketching and painting today.  It was calm and peaceful in the classroom while the students worked on their art and it will be great to see the finished work very soon!

Room 3 bowled over with World Cup Fever!!!

Room 3 were inspired by our fantastic Black Caps today.  They tried out their bowling and batting skills with the school cricket gear.  We looked at keeping a straight arm when bowling and defending the wickets when batting.  Here are some shots of them in action:
