Can you spot the triangular pattern, going 1,3,6,10,15,21 ....

Radishes for Morning Tea

Here is Room 10 eating our rapidly risen Radishes. It only took 4 weeks to grow these baby ones. All of Room 10 tried one, 12 people had never eaten radishes before. Everyone liked the crunch and the spicyness. The class look forward to eating more this week.

Maths Update

Today the Triangles group used number lines to solve problems. Check out the children's work.

Our growing corner

Last term we found some unused tyres lying around school. We decided they needed to be reused. So we have planted them out with radishes, lettuces and chives.

Here is our Diary
Week 1 - Seeds were sown.
Week 2 - "The seeds had made shoots and roots" said Maia.
Week 3 - "The radishes have now grown 4 cm and the shoot had turned red" said Zoe and Ellah. "You have to look extremely hard to see the chives" chorused Room 10. "The lettuces have two leaves they are red and green" said Natsune.

Swimming

Here are some of the thinking hats comments from swimming.

White Hat (information)- Room 10 have been swimming at Q.P.S. pool and W.H.S. pool for three weeks now. By Lachie.

Black Hat (weaknesses) - In the W.H.S. pool it's really cold. Also it's hard doing lengths. By Alice.

Red Hat (feelings) - I love swimming at W.H.S. pool. Sometimes I feel like an ice-block when I hop out of the pool. By Ellah

Green Hat (new ideas) - It is possible that I can swim in the pool. It is possible that I can get my own clothes on. By Zak

Yellow Hat (strengths) - Room 10 are really good at swimming I think they need to go to the lake for a swim. By Jessie.

Blue Hat (thinking) - We need to have goggles so our eyes not get hurt, we need caps so our hair doesn't get wet and our togs. I am working on dolphin kick. I am very good at back stroke. By Brianna

Walking up the Skyline

Yesterday the year 3 classes walked up the skyline Hill. First it was really steep. At some Parts it was really rocky. After it was like rock climbing. There were heaps of stairs. I got to sit on the Kings chair. We were the first class to arrive at the top. We kept on walking and came to a water fall and had a paddle to cool down. I walked across the dam and the bottom of my shoes got wet. There was a big pipe and I walked all over it. When I saw the end of the pipe I saw another person’s face. That night I got the cramps. I liked cooling down in the river. I felt like a turtle trotting down the track.

Haley's favourite things about Room 10

I like being in Room 10, playing all the games and reading books like bumble bee pie. Miss Metcalfe is a great teacher. I wish i could have gone on the Skyline walk.
