Swimming

We have had such a great time learning about our Water Safety Skills.
Did you know that there are lots of different ways to enter water safely? We have been working on our floating both on our backs and on our tummies! We have also been working on rolling onto our tummies and backs both horizontally and vertically. Vertical rotation has been proving to be very tricky for us but we are all determined to get there!

Welcome to Room 3

Welcome to Room 3 for 2020. We are a class of Year 3&4 students from Papakura Central School. We have had an amazing time so far this year filled with lots of learning and great experiences!
Please come along with us for our learning journey this year!

STEAM Day

This morning when we got to our classroom strange things had appeared overnight. Our teacher (Codename Golden Magpie) explained to us that we had an emergency situation going on and we had all been recruited as Secret Agents to help solve the mystery and find Purple Monkey's secure location.

What followed was a day filled with problem solving, science, maths, reading, collaboration, code cracking and extreme fun! We had the best time working together in our secret agent squads to solve the mystery and at the end of the clues we safely uncovered Purple Monkey ( More commonly known as Mrs Fox our Deputy Principal!).

Check us out in action on the slideshow below and have fun creating your own Secret Agent Code name - We certainly did!

Literacy Day - Buddy Classes

On Monday 25th November we celebrated the start of our Book Fair week with a Literacy Day. The whole school got together in Buddy Classes and had some fun based around a famous book. WE chose to use the book Oh The Places You'll Go by Dr Suess.  These were our instruction slides and together we produced a collaborative piece of art.

What a Whirlwind!

Term Three was an incredibly busy term once again. It is amazing to see how much we can fit into one school term. There is so much learning, great experiences and heaps of fun.
Check out our term in pictures below...




We hope that you enjoy looking through our photos! Keep your eyes peeled for updates as we enter into our last term of the year!

Illustrators are amazing!

This week we were lucky enough to have an amazing Duffy Role model come to visit our school. Toby Morris was our Role model this term. He is an illustrator and author. You may have seen his work on the front of the Edmonds Cornflour boxes or in some of our School Journals! Have a look at the photos below of our fantastic assembly.

Welcome to Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu

Room 12 is taking part in Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu. This is where we interact with a buddy class from another school in New Zealand. We are lucky enough to have been given a buddy class from Kaniere School in Hokitika.

We enjoy enjoy taking part in our Cybersmart lessons with Mrs Cameron and have been learning all about how to post to our learning blogs. We can't wait to interact with our new buddies and share our learning on our blogs. Although we are very far away from each other in physical distance we look forward to meeting you Ruma Tui!

Have a look at how far we would have to travel to visit Ruma Tui at Kaniere School...... Just a little bit too far for a school trip!
