Teamwork exercise

On the 8 of February Mr. A took room 3 outside to do a bit of world record breaking. The first challenge was to carry a tennis ball not using your hands or feet. The winning team carried Isabella E with the tennis ball on her lap. The second challenge was to carry a basket ball or tennis ball while linking arms and carrying the ball Xavier and Will won this challenge the third and final challenge was to carry a basket ball with their bottom. Four or five people had to do this; the winners were Alex, Liam, Josh H, and Lachlan.
I felt this day was very fun. Mr. A is an awesome teacher he lets us do so many fun things. I felt tired once it was over this day was full of world record breaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only a couple of people completed these hard tasks.

The school grounds we where going about 50. Then we saw the big bright red gates and we were at school. I was feeling happy and pleased when I got to school.

MY JOURNEY TO SCHOOL!

Mum, James and I were in the car. We were in the middle of an argument when mum turned the radio on to shhh us. This was a Monday morning and it was raining hard. I turned the radio up as the song changed to Katy Perry.

 

"I will drop you at the gate," she said. "Is that Okay?" I was to annoyed and grumpy to answer. In the weekends I usually get up 10.00am. We arrived at the gate and I said goodbye to my mum. I walked into school and was relived to see my best friend waiting for me at the gate.

Next Mum, Dad, Alison and Terry found there enswites. When the adults finished unpacking we all went out to the maze'n'golf down the road from us.

Girls were in the maze of horror and the Boys doing the golf.

After that we went to dog streem the water was freezing and flowing past our legs. We tried to catch fist but we had no luck but we did find 8 fish. We all had a composition at who could bild the best dam 4 fish got caught in the dam. We spent 2 ½ hours there then came home for tea.

After tea all the kids played in the back garden then we watched a movie and went to sleep.

Next morning we all woke up at 7:30 am for breckfast we had pancakes , banana , strawberries , vanilla ice cream and some juicy baconJ

After breckfast we went to the pools even the spas and on all of the hydroslides. All of us had turns at going on the superbowl down the dark tube then round and round and round then the fun ends down the plug holeL

We waited 20 min in the line to go on the ride after that we went back to our holiday home and had mouse traps for tea then went to sleep.

It was day three and we all decided to just have FUN! So food games and lots of other things we played for three hours then went to the lollie shop and for a walk around. By the time we got back to the holiday home and had tea it was 9:30 pm we went to bed and fell fast asleep. In the morning we packed up and went home. At the end of the weekend I thought we had a blast! J

My thrilling adventure.

For New Year, My family, friends and I went to Hanmer Springs hot pools.

Firstly, We went to pay and find a sunny spot to sit on the lounger chairs. It was spitting so we found shelter where the sun could still reach us. Eve, Emma and I waited on the scorching path with rubber rings in the long line. As it was our turn we screamed as we went down the dark tunnel and deadly twister.
It was around 11:05 and we ordered some hot, salty chips and made moustaches out of the rich tomato sauce.
By lunchtime it was getting less busier and we were getting more used to the slide. We had both agreed to let go of our fears and go down ourselves. After that we had water fights with the pistols, had diving competions ,played under the caves and in the hot pools.
Finally, it was time to go home. On the way back we stopped at the English toffee shop and bought 2 50gs of fudge. I really had a fun, thrilling adventure and hope to go back again someday.

Recount Writing: My Holiday

The first day of school the children began with sharing about their summer holidays. The children were enthusiastic to talk about the past 6 weeks, however we magnified one event in our holiday that we would then write a recount about.
The format for a recount is shown above. When the children shared with a partner, they were encouraged to talk about their event using this format. The children focused on answering the who, what, where, when and why. The children had success in writing their orientation. After these have been edited, some examples will be published on the blog for you to view.

Room 3 Class Agreement

The children in Room 3 have begun the year exploring the theme 'Developing a Positive Classroom.' Yesterday we shared our experiences of past classes we have been in, using De Bono's Thinking Hats to collate our thoughts. We have found some creative ways to develop and build a positive classroom in 2011.
The children had many ideas when we developed our Class Agreement. The Room 3 Class Agreement for 2011 is shown above.
