Last week of Term

I can't believe it's the last week of term.

And sadly that means that I am out of the class for the next year on Maternity Leave.

I want to say a big "Thank You" to all the amazing whanau, tamariki and staff who I've had a lot to do with over the past few years. However I will definitely be popping in whenever I can and seeing everyone around!

I can't wait to see what everyone in Room 3 and the school gets up to over the next wee while, and I will be keeping everyone posted on when "Room 3's Baby" arrives.

Have a safe and happy holiday everyone!

ANZAC

Last week and this week we have been working on our Anzac Poems.

The Year 3 and 4 students have been producing Acrostic Poems, using the letters in ANZAC.

We started by reading stories about Anzac, and getting familiar with what Anzac is about and why it is important to us.

Then we looked for all the adjectives that started with the letters we needed and worked out how we could put them into short sentences. Once we had finished our short sentences we read over them, and corrected our spelling and checked they made sense.

Anzac is the best because in war they fight for NZ and Australia.
New Zealand is the best because it is a great country for people to live in.
Zoom went the bullets and boom went the guns.
Armies fighting in the hot sun.
Can you remember the soldiers who died for us?
