Growing Greens

Over the weekend the Seedling Sales at the Gala from Room Three and Four, was very successful. Along with the plant stall we helped to raise $1,400 for the School. Thanks to all the parents who have helped to support Room three and four throughout our Growing Greens topic.

Fabulous Cushion Covers

Room Threes cushion cover designs were very impressive. 

Our Carnival Craft

Our carnival craft is now all ready or sale on Sunday. Today we needed to tidy up the edges of our pillow covers using an overlocker sewing machine. Mikaere had no problems using the accelerator (foot pedal) on the sewing machine even though it is a bit different to a Motor Cross bike.

Just to finish off next we needed to iron the covers.

Buddy Class

We had lots of fun playing games with out Buddy Class.

Growing Greens

Rooms 3 and 4 have been very busy looking after all of the seedlings that were planted last term. We have discovered that our classrooms are not the best place to grow STRONG seedlings. Many of our plants have been stretching toward the light, so last week we shifted all of the seedlings to the pool area where we have made mini shelters. Many of our seedlings were also ready for transplanting so that was the next task.
Thanks to Melissa, Becs and Tina for helping our children to transplant many seedlings.

Len Lye Centre : Sound Explorer

Today Room 3 had a wonderful visit to the Len Lye Centre. We discovered a little about how sound works. The children entered a world of tingles, boings, crashes and ch ch ch. We had to tune our ears to the sounds of the kinetic sculptures and movies and think about ways to put movement with sound. In the studio the children cut and folded aluminium pie plates, attached other materials and constructed their sound sculpture. Hopefully they managed to play a tune for you tonight.

Cool Cuts Competition

Congratulations Room Three. 
Second Prize in the Big Jim's Cool Cuts Competition is a very good effort. Thank you to all the wonderful parents, grandparents and friends who voted for our entry. We now have three shovel and fork sets to use within our class as well as a $30 voucher from Big Jim's.
