Students have been busy researching and writing some wonderful insect and animal reports to share in their classrooms. They have been investigating New Zealand native birds as part of their lessons at Owairoa Adventure Rangers and making good use of the refurbished school Bush Walk and Chinese Garden.
Year 3 students have been thoroughly enjoying some of the wonderful books of Roald Dahl. They have looked at the traits of each character and written some well detailed descriptions.
Room 33 has been using hot seating, which is a strategy in which a character played by the teacher or a student, is interviewed by the rest of the group. This helped them to write their character descriptions with deeper insight and have lots of fun too!
