High Jump with Kelly Sports

Room 3 enjoyed learning how to run up, and jump over, the high jump bar this afternoon with Kelly Sports.  Here are some photos of some of our higher jumps!

Len Lye: Dance of Life

On Thursday 10 November we visited the Govett Brewster Art Gallery to look at Len Lye's kinetic sculptures.  We thought about how movement can be part of art and we worked in groups to create our own composition of movement.  In groups of 6 we drew some shapes and words to represent movement onto transparent plastic and then we created a dance which reflected two of the movements we had drawn. Our transparent drawings were projected onto the screen behind us and then we performed our movement composition to our class.  Have fun looking at the videos of our movement compositions.  Videos will hopefully be up soon.  We are having a little trouble loading them on at present - enjoy these photos until we can get the videos loaded :).

BIG thanks too, to our wonderful parent helpers.  We couldn't do these exciting activities without you :).

Spelling - Term 4

For Term 4 we are revising many of our spelling words to make sure that we are super spellers.  If the words you receive in your notebooks are too easy for the week you can go back to some of our previous lists and check that you still remember them.   - Mrs Brown

Okay, Room 3 Superkids it's time to get your thinking hats on.  Here is my question:  WHAT DOES THE NEW BACKGROUND ON OUR BLOG REPRESENT?   Hint:  It has something to do with Term 4 :).   Post your answer as a comment on this post. PS: The background is the picture or design that surrounds the main text box.

26/10 - Well done Milla, you are right!  The background of our blog represents our Term 4 topic - art.  Great work :-).

Term 4

Well, it's not long now until the start of Term 4. There are lots of exciting things planned for the term and it will be a busy and rewarding time. Have an enjoyable last week of the school holidays and I look forward to seeing you all next week - Mrs Brown.

Fitzroy School Folk Dance

What a fantastic night we had at the Fitzroy School Folk Dance on the 29 September at the YMCA. Of course, the dancing was outstanding and the audience too was very impressive. We think we all looked great - so enjoy the pictures.

The Ranfurly Shield

Wow, look at this great picture of us with the Ranfurly Shield. We were lucky enough to all have our photo taken with the shield and we also got a class photo. Go Taranaki!
