Christmas in Room 3

Christmas has come early to Room 3. Mrs Simmons's Mum made us a beautiful quilt. We will display Christmas work around the quilt. We have written letters to Father Christmas and are eagerly awaiting his reply. You are welcome to look in your child's writing book to read a draft copy of their letter. Ashley's family have kindly loaned us a wonderful Christmas tree and have donated Christmas decorations to us - thanks very much!

Sugeong reads to us in Korean

Sujeong read a book to us in Koean. She is an awesome reader. Can you guess which book she read us?

Reading in Japanese

We were very lucky to have Masayo (Sakura's Mum) visit today and read us a story in Japanese. The children were quick to notice that she started to read the book from the back and that the writing went downwards. The children guessed that the story was The Three Little Pigs. Thanks Masayo for reading to us!

The Jewelled Gecko Enviro Award

Today Nicky Wagner MP visited our school. The children from Room 3 showed her our food scrap bin for the pigs and our year 1 garden. They also showed Nicky our class blog with photos of Wombat the kuni kuni pig. Nicky was also interested to read our earthquake stories. Children from the eco warriors showed her around our school and she was impressed with our school vege garden. We were all very happy when we were told this afternoon that we had won the Jewelled Gecko Enviro Award - $1000.00 towards our eco warriors group - yippee!

There was a range off teddy bears. Mrs Simmons Big Ted was the oldest bear. The children wrote wonderful stories about their teddy bears. We hope you enjoy the photos.
