Flat Stanley and Keanu's Holidays

Wow, Flat Stanley and Keanu had a wonderful holiday break.  There were many adventures for Flat Stanley and his friend.  These included:

• Playing on the computer
• Playing with Keanu's toys
• Spending time with Rebel, Keanu's dog
• Visiting the swimming pool
• Sharing a snack together although, seemed that deciding what to eat was tough!

Flat Stanley also went to Raratonga with Nanny...she sent Stanley back in a postcard to Keenu.

Keanu wrote this story about Flat Stanley:

Flat Stanley and I went to the beach.  We had a great day. The sun was out and it was hot.  We played lots of games.

Maths with Mrs Milburn

Term 3 was our time to learn new maths

We have been participating in activities as warm-ups called 'Dot Talks' - sharing how we notice different patterns with dot formations and relating this to numbers and what we already know.

Some groups were lucky enough to work with Mrs Fox and Mrs Milburn, sharing their thinking in Collaborative Tasks.  At our last session, we were learning more about counting in 2's when solving problems. 

Spider Magic

Last week we had special Art and Craft time with Mrs P.  Through a Learn, Create and Share, she introduced us to the art of making pom poms.  These were just any pom poms, these became the bodies of our new spider friends.

First, we wound the wool of our choice around our fingers....many times.  We then tied a piece of wool around the middle, ready to cut.  Tada....a pompom was created!

With the support of some senior students, we choose and glued on our spider's legs and eyes.

Come in and see them.  They have spun some webs on a tree in our room and are hanging around for you to see!

Thank you, Mrs P and Mrs Oliver for helping us to be creative!

Mrs Fox's Holidays...

Welcome to Term 3.  

I had an amazing holiday.  Not only did I get to create some great resources and set up the Superhero Class in Room 19 but I had some adventures.

My son Luke, had a few exciting adventures around Auckland.  We watched the antics of Max, Snowball and Chloe in the movie: Secret Life of Pets 2.  They were so cute!

Luke and I also went to great heights up the Sky Tower.  This was his first time up to the top.  It was a great view.  We even took Super Fox (our new class pet) and his twin brother with us!  Luke said the people on the street below looked like "Lego people".

Hope you all had some great adventures as well.
