Constructing an airplane and sky vista




We have been really creative by making an airplane each.
We created and coloured a pattern on our plane.
We made a sky vista full of white clouds.
Once it was dry we cut and glued on our plane.
They are now flying high in our classroom.

Whaea Pip's Library Session




We go to put the finishing touches on our artwork that we did with Whaea Pip.
We really enjoyed making our reading come to life with art.
We used our hands and colour tissue paper to make our artwork.
Please come into Room 3 and check it out yourself.

Room 3 Library with Whaea Pip


We were very fortunate to have Whaea Pip the school librarian come and do an awesome reading session.
Whaea Pip shared two books with us that had a fish theme. We had a great discussion about both stories about the ideas, themes, and characters.
We started two related artworks with a fish theme and we will be finishing them next week. Please come into Room 3 and check out the artwork.

Learning to swim like a fish!


We have been learning to swim at Cannons Creek Swimming Pool in the afternoon.
We were taught different skills in swimming. We learnt to float on tummies like a starfish. We were diving under the water like dolphins. We practiced our kicking using a flutter board. We even did two lengths of backstroke of the swimming pool by ourselves.
We would like to say a big thank you to our swimming instructors who taught us some amazing swimming skills.
