Term 3!

Welcome back to Term 3 in Room 3!  We all had such a wonderful holiday and it was so nice to hear about all these neat things we did, today. 

We had two birthdays to celebrate, Ocean and Madi, and a big welcome to Jake who joins us. 

  

This term our topic inquiry is GROWTH and today for maths we began a week of measurement by reading Jack and the Beanstalk.  We discovered a letter and footprints inside the book from the Giant! !!!     We had to find things in the room that were taller/longer, shorter and the same as the Giants footprints.  We learnt what estimating was (to guess) and we guessed our heights before testing them.  Then we had to order ourselves from shortest to tallest.  We enjoyed this.  

In the last block we looked at what the difference between a question and a comment was.  We then learnt about the white thinking hat (de Bono) and answered the questions on it to begin our growth inquiry.  We were so busy today!
