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.

Inquiry Presentation to PTA

On Wednesday night, five children from Room 19 had the opportunity to present our Inquiry proposal at the PTA Meeting. Luca, Nicole, Niamh M, Lachlan and Charlotte talked about our idea for a butterfly garden.  They did an awesome job and we hope to start building the garden next week. Check out our wall display in the classroom for more information.

Thanks to Sam Coultas from Room 21 for the photos.

Year 3 Assembly - 15 May 2012

The IT gremlins were up to mischief in our assembly today. Quillan and Niamh B did a stirling job of carrying on despite the problems. Certificates were awarded to:

Fynn Marshall - Heart of Achievement Award
Angus Hill - Achievement Certificate
Quillan Dextar - Values Certificate

Keep up the great work guys.

We also managed to use the time to practise our Inquiry presentation to the PTA.

Butterflies - Photographed by Luca

Room 19 was aflutter with excitement. Three of our monarch butterflies have hatched. We left them undisturbed until their wings had dried then Mrs D very carefully carried them outside. We left them on the pittosporum bushes in the Big A playground. When we checked later in the afternoon they had flown away. "Will we ever see them again?" we wondered. Great photos Luca!

Jellie Park Trip

It was a great day at the pool today. The sun was shining and the hot weather was a nice change from recent weeks. Thank you to all the parent helpers who came along and helped everyone to have a fun day in the water.

I found out that
... I can close my eyes and mouth and put my head right under the water. (Quillan)
... you can jump in the pool at the deep end. (Luca)
... it was deep at the end. (Angus)
... there were heaps of people there. (Niamh M)
