Term 4 - Week 2


We have jumped straight back into our last term of being Year 3 student with energy and enthusiasm.

This week we started jump jam in the mornings. It has been fantastic to get energetic in the mornings to some groovy music. Some of the moves are really tricky to get but I am sure we will pick them up quickly. Check us out!




We have also started our new writing topic on recounting fairytales. We have been reading the Three Little Pigs and looking at the story from the Wolf’s point of view. Room 9 has come up with some fantastic ideas. Look out for them when we publish them on our writing blog next week!

Term 4 - Week 1

Welcome back!
Term 4 looks to be an exciting one. We have a fun but busy term ahead.

Our inquiry for this Term is on the "Orphans of Nepal". We will be looking at how Muritai Kids have the power to make a difference in the lives of the orphans. Ultimately the Room 9 will be planning a small-scale fund raiser for Bistachap Orphanage.

This week we were lucky to have Mana College's kapa haka group come and perform for us. The children in Room 9 found it to be a very powerful performance and throughly enjoyed the experience.

On a personal note I would like to thank Room 9 students and parents for a fantastic Term 3. I enjoyed getting to know you all, thank-you for your support. I am looking forward to a even better Term 4.
