Our last day


Today marks the last day of term for 2010. These lovely Year 2 children will be moving classes and up a level to Year 3. This does not mean that the work has stopped on this blog. There is work posted up each day throughout the school holidays, so that you our audience can enjoy it. Feel free to leave comments to any of the children, they love getting your feedback.

Next year, this blog will continue but with an older age group. Miss Paton our teacher is moving up levels to Years 5 & 6 (10 & 11 year olds). You can still check out past work by clicking on the tabs at the top of this blog. In the new year, when school starts we will let you know which classes these children have moved into and will link this years work onto their new class blog, so that it will not be forgotten.

On behalf of Room 3, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It has been a successful year, creating and sharing our learning to you our audience. Do visit the blogs over the holidays, there's lot of great work on them.

Thank you so much for casting your votes as to who you think the winning should be from the Something from Nothing movie. We are now making tally charts and using the computer to create our graphs. These will be uploaded onto this blog very soon. If you haven't voted yet, now is your chance.
Last week we had Constable Julie come in to talk about what to do if we got lost and road safety. We learnt about sneeky drive ways and to stop, look and listen when we cross the road.

Check out our Voice Thread on this. The first slide focuses on what to do if you got lost and the second slide focuses on what we learnt from Constable Julie.
