Every Friday afternoon we Buddy Read with Room 3. This is exciting for Alex because his little brother is in Room 3!
We learn to read our stories loudly and clearly. Also to share with our buddies our brilliant reading!
We then listen to our buddy read to us so we are learning to listen with no talking and to ask a 'FAT' question about the story. We are learning to ask 'where, what, when, how and who questions.
Room 23!

Welcome Year 3 class 2010!
We have had a fabulous first two days at school this week. Many of you have found the blog page and have had a good look at what Room 23 got up to last year!
We have started the term with a lot of getting to know you activities and learning about RESPECT as this is the value we will be focusing on this term.
We have found out how to be a good speaker and listener. What skinny and fat questions are. I know some of the children are keen to try this out on their Mum's and Dad's so look out!
We have organised our class into our house groups and are learning to work with our group.
We have found out about our SMARTS. The word will link to a website that will explain what this is. Ask your child what their SMART is.
We have KWL the Treaty of Waitangi
Click on the words to link to websites that will tell you what these mean.
We wrote down what we know about the Treaty of Waitangi:
What we know - K -
Everyone had to sigh a piece of paper.
It had to go around all the special people in NZ.
It's a small holiday.
It took a long time to get the treaty signed because there were no planes.
One day they agreed to sign a piece of paper.
What we want to know - W -
Where did they come from?
Where did the map come from?
How did the treaty get around?
What did the treaty plan?
How long did it take to get around NZ?
Why did they do it?
How was the treaty made?
How did the treaty get around?
What we have learnt - L -
The Treaty was signed on 8th February 1840 at Waitangi.
Waitangi is in the North Island
500 Maori chief signed the Treaty
The British Queen and important people from Britain also signed the treaty.
The Treaty is a list of rules so Maori and NZ European can live together in NZ.
Waitangi Day has been a public holiday since 1974.
We have written our own class treaty and it is displayed in the classroom. You can view it when you next visit.
