We are a class of Year 3 and 4 students at Hamilton East School in Hamilton, New Zealand. Our teacher is Rebecca Wilcox, you can contact her by emailing rwilcox@hameast.school.nz.
We love learning together and sharing our learning with others.
We have joined with Miss Suze's Superstars in Room 3 to do some buddy reading. We are lucky enough to be able to share our fabulous reading skills to help others. It also lets us practice reading with our storytelling voices.
You guys look like your having a wonderful time with your buddy class. Last week at positive assembly room10 did pearly shells with our buddy class room13.
We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace. The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree. They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.
Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.
This week is the beginning of our Quad Blogging. This is a great way to connect with other classes around the world. It is when you have other classes around the world that are your friends. You connect with them by looking at and commenting on their blogs. We will find out what they are learning about. We hope to also learn about their countries. Our Quad Blogging buddies are - Year 4, Greenpark School Year 4, Trinity CE Lower School Mrs Booth's Fourth Graders, Sherman Central School, USA Hi! Quad Bloggers, This is us - Room 14 - underneath the gateway at the front of our school. We are excited about reading your comments on our blog. We have thought of some questions to find out more about you - Where do you like to play at your school? What is your favourite subject? What do you like to learn about? Do you have a school uniform? What time does your school start and finish? Where is your school? How many students are at your school? How old is your school? We look forward
