For the first few weeks of term three we learnt about 'zero waste.' We learnt about ways we can care for our environment and promote sustainability. At the end of the unit, we got to make a pencil holder from a recycled can and from some 'bits and pieces.' Here are some images of our tin cans. We had a messy yet creative afternoon.
Room 11, your new blog is looking really cool. I just love the creatures that you have made from recycled tin cans. It looks like you are all having lots of fun, learning some important concepts, and being clean green Kiwis all at once. Well done!
Tena koutou. Nau mai, Haere mai, Welcome to Room 23 Scholar's blog. Our learning coach's name is Mr Werder. He is an avid Taranaki and Hurricanes rugby supporter, and a passionate supporter of the Warriors and Queensland State of Origin rugby league teams. We have 24 amazing scholars in our Year 3/4 classroom.
The concepts we will be studying this year will include: ‘Turangawaewae' (Term 1, Health - Relationships with others; Social Sciences - Place & Environment); Term 2, ''Taonga’ (Visual Arts; Social Sciences). Term 3, 'Heroes and Heroines' (Social Sciences); and ''Celebration'' (Term 4, Social Sciences). The school wide focus for 2016 is Religious Education. This will be in conjunction with building on our current knowledge and learning from last year in the curriculum areas of Mathematics and Te Reo Maori. The writing focus in 2017 will be 'narrative' where we will examine its structure and language features in-detail.
We look forward to showing you our blog page, as well as 'seesaw' some of the wonderful work we are doing. God bless, and please write positive comments about our work. Kia ora tatou!
