Tasty Hedgehogs

Today in reading Jomin, Shravin, Mario, Jack and Valentine read about having fun with hedgehogs. This is not as strange as it sounds, the hedgehogs that they had fun with were bright, colourful and yummy. 


Each had half an orange, some toothpicks, grapes and marshmallows. They put the grapes and marshmallows on the toothpicks and then stuck them in the orange, finally they gave the hedgehog a smiley face with a sharpie. 







Have a look at their funny hedgehogs:

Safety Expo


This morning we held our Safety Expo where parents and family could come and share in their children's learning. Room 3 were really excited about having visitors to work with them and to listen to them discuss all they had learned this term.


We began the morning by watching Hectors World at www.thinkyouknow.com. The class watched some informative cartoons and then shared the message with others. From our safety learning this term we have come up with some class guidelines when using the internet. After that we did some fire safety role plays. Mrs Andrewartha came to visit and shared some wonderful stories with us. Michael and Isabelle read their fire safety recounts using clear and confident reading voices. Then we visited our blog to listen to Bethany read her recount about Dog Safety.

Our final activity centred around road safety. Some students built a road in class and we helped some figures to cross the road safely. We also identified safe places to cross the road. Room 3 had a wonderful time sharing their learning as you can see from the attached photos.
