Pizza Maths

We are learning about fractions in maths. Here we are cutting up play dough  pizzas for different sized families. It was important that each family member got the same sized piece. Fractions is all about equal shares.










Sharing Our Writing

We love sharing our writing with each other! Here we are today celebrating our incredible writing we completed today by sharing our stories with a buddy.
With Easter fast approaching and Easter Bunny being the hot topic we used our imaginations and wrote about the day the Easter Bunny lost all of his chocolate eggs. We had lots of great ideas about what might have happened that caused the Easter Bunny to loose his chocolate eggs and how the problem could be solved.

Keep your eyes peeled for our published writing.










Butterflies in Room 3 AGAIN!

On Monday our last 2 butterflies hatched from their chrysalis. We invited Room 1 and 2 in to see the first butterfly and they were lucky enough to see our second butterfly hatch from its chrysalis while they were in the classroom! We read our writing from our publishing book explaining the butterfly life cycle  to Room 1 and 2. We really enjoyed sharing our writing! Taysha and Cooper also read a book explaining the life cycle.









Karate Champions

Jacob and Anouk won medals at their karate championships in the weekend.

Our Field of Remembrance

A field of white crosses has been erected on the hill by Room 6. These crosses are to remember the people from our Gore community who died in World War 1. Each cross has the name of someone who was involved in the war. It is very important that we remember these people.

Storm Art

Here is our second art master piece. This Storm Art is also available to be purchased at the Gore Main School Art Sale this Thursday 26 March along with the cow portraits.

The Art Sale will be on all day on Thursday from 8.30am-5.30pm. You may come anytime between these hours to view and purchase the children's masterpieces.

The children created these pieces on watercolour paper with crayon and tempera paint to create the watery effect.

Room 3 Explains the Water Cycle

Check out our latest piece of writing. The Room 3 authors have spent the whole of last week working away on these explanations. They have read many books, watched lots of you tube clips and sung the water cycle song to help them to learn about the water cycle and how it works. 

They hope they can teach their friends and family about the water cycle. 
Water Cycle Explanations
Please comment and tell us what you have learned about the water cycle after reading our explanations. Come into our classroom to see our stormy day artwork to accompany this writing.
