Rock Pools Around the World

As part of our inquiry, we are finding out about rock pools. We would like to compare and contrast the rock pools close to us with rock pools from around the world. Can you help? Do you have relatives and friends that live close to rock pools in other places. We would love to hear from them and find out more about what is out there. 

Thanks,

Tautoru Kids

Ball Skills

Shared Writing by Hunter R, Rim, and Lily V: 

We have been doing PE with Shona. We have been learning how to throw and catch balls. We've been learning to roll the ball to our partner and run back to where we were. We have also been bouncing the ball and throwing it into the air. We have been using balls in different ways. It's great to stay fit and use the outside space.

Colour experimenting

Measurement

Some of the children in Tautoru have been learning about measurement.

We have talked about standard and non-standard units of measurement. In class we have begun using non-standard units to measure body parts, cracks in the pavement, the length of bench seats and other objects in the playground.

Drumming

This is shared writing by Keir and Molly:



We had our drumming lesson today in the staffroom. We learnt the names of different drums and other instruments including bongos, hand drums, xylophones and chimes. Andreas was conducting us. We learnt symbols for drumming, not drumming, whistling and singing. We had a great time and we're looking forward to drumming again next week. 

Hour of Code: Minecraft

Our Year Three students have been learning how to code. They have been using #hourofcode and working through the Minecraft activities. Students have been problem solving and applying their Maths knowledge. Great collaboration!

Assembly: 18th March

We sang a song that we have been learning called, "2 legged mice"
