Snow Day

It was really hard to learn with snow falling gently outside our classroom window. Miss Cranney took some video during reading to capture how hard we found it!

The Rugby World Cup


We have begun our learning about the Rugby World Cup. So far, in Maths, we have looked at different data about the cup and ways to present this data.

We have also looked at what we know about the cup. Some of us know lots and some not much at all.

We are moving on to look at the venues for the games and the impact the games will have on the cities that host them. Then we will look at what is needed to host a game. We will make lots of charts and diagrams to show our ideas.

Clifford In Switzerland

Did you know that Clifford had a quick trip to Switzerland at the end of Term Two? He went there with Kieran's Dad.
Here are some of the adventures he got up to and the people he met...

 He flew on a fancy plane seat!
 Check out the beautiful lake in Switzerland.
 Clifford loved that view.
 Do you know which country this flag is from?
 Some of the beautiful people who kept Clifford company in a strange land!
 And you always need some family time!
 At the top of a Swiss cable car.
 And a little bit of child company, just to help him not miss Room Three too much :)
Where is he off to, I wonder?

Helena's Diving Camp

Helena has been working hard at developing her diving skills all year. She is getting pretty good for her age!Here are some pictures of her at one of her diving camps.


 Some of the training involves gymnastics training.

 It took lots of courage to be able to dive off the board!

What poise!

Erinn's Cello Demonstration

At the end of last term Erinn bought her Cello to school for us to have a look at. She has been learning how to play. She taught us all a few things about the instrument, and even allowed some people to have a go at playing the instrument!

Erinn, the cellist!
