Last day Term 1

Excitement and fun in our Book Character Parade on the last day of Term 1.

Thank you to all the Room 3 students for a very full term of learning. Happy and safe holidays to you and your families.

Assembly

The proud team at Assembly today!

Last game

What a wonderful way to finish Mini-ball for Term 1. 

Congratulations to our winning team in the final against St Martin's tonight. We won 27-12. You have done yourselves, Miss Peat and Sacred Heart proud! Good on you!  Dayen and Emmanel weren't well enough to play in the final  today.

Miniball

Another great game on Thursday from our Mini-ball team consisting of Room 3 & 4 students. Hamish, Dayen, Emmanuel, Emlyn, Isaiah and Andrei are our Room 3 players. Well done to all of you for your energy, enthusiasm and fair play attitude towards the game. It has been a pleasure watching you every Thursday. A big thank you to Miss Peat for her coaching and encouragement.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all Room 3 students and their families.  I hope you all have a well deserved break. I was very proud of Room 3 at our school Easter liturgy ... well done for re-enacting the Last Supper so well.

Sumner beach

Great to have my laptop back after repairing, to resume our class blog!

Yesterday we had a very successful trip to Sumner beach where Jason, from the Christchurch City Council, talked to us about the sand dunes, a natural barrier to the destructive forces of winds and waves.   Jason was very passionate about his subject and gave us lots of reasons to protect the sand dunes.  He challenged us to create our own sand dunes using the information he gave us.    Each group explained why they created their sand dune the way they did.

Huge thanks to our parents and grandparent for being with us ... it would not have been possible to go without you ... Victoria's mum, Hamish's dad, Clara's grandmother visiting from the Philippines and Louisa's Dad.

The brain

Well done Victoria for connecting our brain learning (parts of the brain) to a Maths activity today!   Spot the skull, the frontal lobe,  temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, the cerebellum and the brain stem.  Ask us what each part of the brain does!  We are thoroughly enjoying exploring our amazing brain and participating in the fun activities.  Today we did a 30 second memory test. We learnt that the memory is located in the temporal lobe in the hippocampus.  The hippocampus is shaped like a seahorse.
