With the hot weather we have been having the children have been enjoying their time in the pool. Some of the skills they have been  practicing are floating on their back and front, gliding across the pool, getting into and out of a pool safely and picking objects up off the bottom of the pool.




We have also been writing about our swimming. Here is some of our writing:
I like splashing in the pool and playing soccer in the pool as well. Diving into the pool is fun. I can be a dolphin in the pool.
By Alex.

I can get things from the ground and I can swim like an eel. I can glide in the pool and I can glide with my hands on my tummy. In the pool I like putting my head under the water.
By Bagas.

I like swimming. I can put my hands under my knees and my face is underwater and I was floating. My back was poking up at the surface. The water felt cold but when I put all my body in until the water was up to my neck I felt warm. I liked doing a starfish,it felt relaxing. The toughest thing is sitting at the bottom of the pool. I like touching the bottom as well.
By Advait.

When I'm in the pool it's cold like an ice cube. I can do a starfish and backstroke. I like going in the pool because it's fun and we learn to swim. We play in the pool with Miss M's class sometimes and room 4 also comes in the pool sometimes too.
By Mack.


We have been filling out all the new skills we can do in the pool on our "I can" fish which are hanging in room 3. We would love you to come and have a look at them to see how clever we all are.

On Monday we had a visit from Renee from Project Energise. She came to teach us about healthy eating. We looked at and talked about different foods and how they can help our bodies.


We looked at three food groups that we need to eat some of to help maintain healthy bodies. These were called Go foods, GROW foods and GLOW foods.



We also looked at a food group called SLOW food which we should only eat as a special treat.

We have been trying hard in room 3 to eat lots of GO,GLOW and GROW food.

Welcome to room 3's blog.
We have had a very busy start to the year and have been learning all about what makes each one of us unique and special.
Last Thursday we were very lucky to have a visit from two guinea pigs called Chocolate and James. Kylie and Jaz Gray told us all about how to care for them and all the children loved having a cuddle with the guinea pigs.


 We worked together to "brainstorm" some great describing words and key words for our plan. Then the children used the plan to help them write a short passage about the guinea pigs.
We hope you enjoy reading some of our great writing........

Guinea pigs are cute and little. They are cuddly and cheeky little guinea pigs. One guinea pig had brown fur. His name was Chocolate. By Bagas.

Guinea pigs are soft and like to escape and hide in the hay. They squeak when they like you and whistle when they are hungry. By Aurin.

They have fluffy heads. They feel strokable. They are cute. They are as cosy as a blanket. One has chocolate coloured fur and the other has white fur. They They are very fluffy and cute. I liked the white one the best. The one with white fur is called James and the one with brown fur is called Chocolate. They have fluffy fur and feel warm. By Adu.

Guinea pigs run fast when they are scared. Every morning you need to feed your pets.By Izzy.
