Daffodil Day

Hi EVERYBODY!
This week we had a mufti day to raise money for Daffodil Day.  Daffodil Day is a day when we wore mufti then we donated a gold coin each to the NZ Cancer Society.  The money will help people who are sick with cancer.  Sylvia Park School managed to raise over $600 today - Well DONE!  
We also did the Sasa as a whole school.  Check out the photos below.
That's all for this week, talk to you next week.
Bye!

Year 3 Speeches

Hi EVERYBODY!
This week we were lucky enough to be invited to watch the Year 3 speech finals.  We were so amazed by some of the speeches.   The Year 3 finalists used really presuasive reasons to convince us! We can't wait until next year when we get to have a turn at saying a speech.
That's all for this week, talk to you next week.
Bye!

Dancing

Hi EVERYBODY,
In Room 6 we have been learning about dancing.  We have seen break dancing, ballet, tap dancing, rock n roll, tinkiling, hip hop and the Samoan sasa.  We have even had a go at making up our own dances in partners.  We think our dancing is AMAZING!  Look at the photos of us making up a dance.
That's all for this week, talk to you next week.
Bye!

Maths in Room 6

Hi EVERYBODY!
In Room 6 we LOVE learning about numbers as much as we love reading.  This term we are learning about multiplication and division by making groups and sharing objects.  We have also been looking at numbers over 100.  Go ahead and test us out, give us a number from 100-1000 to read.  You could even come and visit Room 6 and we will show you how to read numbers over 100.
Check out the pictures of us doing our independent maths activities below.
That's all for this week, talk to you next week.
Bye!
