Term 3 Topic Aotearoa Weird and Wonderful Creatures

Check out our describe map we have done on the Tuatara. We used this map to write exciting descriptions.

We have also been learning to write reports. With a partner we chose a New Zealand Weird and Wonderful Creature to research and then we wrote a report about it.

For homework Room 4 have made box dioramas of a New Zealand Native animal or insect's habitat.

Ruby and Kacee presented theirs to the class today.

Religious Education

For Religious Education we have been learning about the Sacrament of Penance. We have been talking about the importance of forgiveness. Together in Room 4 we wrote an acrostic poem about forgiveness.

Eric Carle Style Art

In Room 4 we read the story Rooster's Off To See the World by Eric Carle. We created some roosters of our own. We painted pieces of paper and cut our shapes to make them.

Technology Design

Mrs Beardshaw hurt her back so couldn't carry her laptop, handbag, lunchbox, drink bottle to and from her car. The children of Room 4 designed something to help her out.

First we drew them, then we described them, then we shared our designs with the class, then we made modifications, then we had a go at making a model of our drawings and finally we evaluated our designs.
