Off We Went...

Hi everyone,

Yesterday we had a very fun, fabulous and furry day at the zoo. We raced around the zoo road, spying all the small scurrying aminals, like the monkeys, mere cats and mice. And all the long legged large ones, like the lions, the giraffes and cheetahs. The gorilla's were monkeying around, going upside down, climbing ropes and sliding down wooden poles. After morning tea, we went inside where we met Lynn who taught us all about animal habitats and patterns. We got to touch a lizard, a hedgehog and a... RAT!!! Can you believe it?

Today we raced down Haitaitai hill to the library.We met Vanessa who taught us how to find certain books. We got into groups and had a challenge. We had to find a new book, a CD book, a book with a certain coloured cover and a book whose author started with a certain letter. It was lots of fun.

I hope everyone's homework made it to your house...some children forgot their homework books again :(

Tomorrow we are off again... to swimming! We can't wait.

Until next time, see you later from Room 3.

Kilbirnie School, Room 3 Blog

Kia Ora everybody,

We're going to the zoo on Monday! Yipee! Well, we hope are, it just depends on the weather.  We are looking forward to seeing lots of animals and animal patterns. Some of our favourite animals are: tigers, giraffes, cheetah's, zebra's, leopards, elephants, and lions.

We wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed seeing Harold. Harold, from the Life Education Trust, taught us what our bodies need to keep healthy and happy. Can you remember to tell your parents any of these?

On Wednesday we did our swimming lessons. We love Kilbirnie Pool and we love swimming!

Until next time, Take care and keep safe.

Hi everyone,

This is Miss Finch's first ever blog!

This term we are learning all about patterns. Last week we created wave patterns. Then we put little yachts, made out of triangles on top of them, to make some awesome pictures. Check them out.

This week we are creating repeating koru patterns.  We are going to make a boarder. They look amazing!

Don't forget, this week we are going to the zoo, where we will see many more patterns.

But today... WE ARE GOING TO MEET HAROLD THE GIRAFFE, with the life education trust. WE CAN'T WAIT!!

Okay, until next time, Ka Kite ano from Room 3.
