Athletics Day

What a great day! It was wonderful to see everyone participating in all the events throughout the day.
A highlight for Room 19 was the Year 3 Relay events because Room 19 won the boys AND the girls Year 3 relay races.

Congratulations! We are all very proud of you.

Here are some photos from the Sprints Event. If you have other photos, we would love to include them on the blog.

Butterfly Garden Update

Now that Spring has arrived, it has been possible to start work on the butterfly garden again. On Friday we added some compost to improve the soil and planted the swan plants we have been nurturing in our classroom. With the sunny weather we also took the chance to repaint (and seal) the decorative stones on the top of the wall.

This week we will be planting some flowers to attract and provide nectar for the butterflies. We will need to make sure the plants get enough water and remove any weeds that pop up. We can't wait for the butterflies to arrive.

Assembly T3W5

Last Wednesday Room 19 hosted the Year 3 Assembly. We showed our plasticine athlete models, our building prints and the NZ Sign Language version of Stand Tall, the NZ Olympic song.

Congratulations to the students who received certificates.
