Room 3 has been retelling Tangaroa's Gift in their writing books. I found this cool retell that some other students posted onto youtube of the same story. Maybe you are interested in making a slide show of your retell?

The Colourful Milk Experiment

Check out the cool science we did in Room 3 today. There were lots of 'Wow' moments in our class!
If your child is raiding your cupboards looking for food colouring, detergent, milk and cotton buds this is why!!!

Below are some photos of our results. Watch this space and I will post some of the awesome observational drawings and notes the kids created. Room 3 certainly has some amazing scientists!!!

NEWS: Boy Rescued from Rip

Rips in the sea can be dangerous. This boy was caught in a rip at Totaranui. It was lucky he was being watched by adults who quickly came to the rescue.

In Room 3 we have been learning about the importance of always having an adult watching you while you are swimming. We have been learning about hazards such as rips and currents.
