Haircut Day









Making our grassheads was lots of fun. We needed to give them lots of water and plenty of sunshine to make their hair grow. Our favourite part was haircut day!

Secret Agent Undercover Cody




Undercover Cody came to our school to find out whether we knew how to be sunsmart. He taught us the song "Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap."  Look out for the next undercover message from children in Room 3, as to what this really means.

Room 3's new boys



Room 3 are excited to announce we have two  new boys in our classrom. So without further ado here they are!

Mystery Bag


In our morning oral language we sometimes have the mystery bag. A child gets to select something out of the mystery bag (without showing the class of course) and  they then  have to describe the item for the others to guess. Here is Dylan dressed up in some of the mystery bag items. Can you guess what they were?

Our Dog Book


Room 3 have really enjoyed reading the big book "DOG." So much so that we  decided to write and act out our own version. We hope you enjoy our story.It is a little bit difficult to hear so this is what we are saying:

Asher-I'm a sunbathing dog.
Kiera- I'm a chasing dog.
Alex- I,m a swimming dog.
Rome- I'm a shopping dog.
Kyle- I'm a digging dog.
Jasmine- I'm a flying dog.
Brooklyn R- I'm a road dog.
Dylan- I'm a teacher dog.
Sophie- I'm a singing dog.
Cooper- I'm a skateboard dog.
Kaylee- I'm a colourful dog.
Shamille-I'm a eating dog.
Brooklyn B- I'm an artist dog.    

Woof, Woof!!

Boat Builders


The Cheetahs Reading Group read the story "The Boat" and decided to have a go at making their own. The boys created a sail and motor boat out of all sorts of recyclables. Sophie made a boat with a very small sail. We are still to test them to see if they float. Do you think they will? 

Class Award

At the end of last term Room 3 were the recipients of the class trophy. Don't we look proud! This is because we are learning to be such wonderful K.C kids.

Welcome to Term 4

 
Welcome back to school Room 3 children. I hope you've had a happy holiday. Term 4 is shaping up to be a busy and exciting one. I hope you've got your rocket boosters on! Here are a few of the  planned activities we have in store: athletics, swimsafe, mathathon, calendar pictures, river walk, green day, making games from junk and cyber safety. And that's just for starters! I also look forward to guiding you in the core learning areas: Reading, Writing and Maths. My aim is to make learning stimulating and fun and to have Room 3 children  eager to come to school each day to embrace their learning.

Parent/Teacher Interviews

This week there are parent teacher interviews at Vardon School.

There are NO interviews for Room 3 children at this time.

Children who have just started school will be tested on a range of skills (School Entry Assessments) once they have been at school for 6 weeks or so. Once these assessments have been completed, your child's teacher will make contact with you to arrange a time to meet with you to discuss their results and talk about how they are doing at school

Once this interview is complete, there will be a further 2 written reports and interviews over the course of their first year at school. Each child recieves 2 written reports and 2 interviews during each year of instruction.

Please ask Myra or Cath if you would like information on the reading, writing or mathematics standards they are working towards.

Jump Jam

Today we went to Jump Jam for the first time.
watch us giving it a go... Mrs Paton is still learning how to use the Flip video properly.

Starting at Vardon School

Sending your child to school (even if it is not the first one) is a very special moment for parents.  The experience can be very different for each child, because every child is unique.  We trust your child will be very happy at Vardon School and that you will enjoy being part of the Vardon school community.
The school information booklet will answer some of your questions.  I will post some information that may be of use to you in the lead up to your child starting school as well. Please don't hesitate to contact the school or the class teacher if you need any more information.
