Room 10 and 11 went on camp to Waihi Beach. On the first day we walked the ‘Window Walk’ in the Karangahake Gorge in the rain! We were glad we took our torches so we could travel through the tunnels safely. In the afternoon we headed to the Waihi Beach for a swim and or sand sculpture. The next day we went to the Martha Mine Education centre to learn about gold mining nowadays and then we visited the museum to find out about gold mining long ago. We even got to hold some gold and silver. The final day we packed up and visited Bowentown. Here we walked over to Shelley Bay and explored the rock pools. Last we had a swim at Sapphire Springs. It was a busy time  and loads of fun!

Welcome to Room 11 2012

In our class we have 17 boys and 15 girls.

We are a Year 3 class situated at the top of the hill in our school environment.

We had a great day last Friday for Pet Day. Everyone worked so hard to make their creations and all had great fun doing it. Check out some of our creations.

Last term we worked really hard to create our rainforest collage. We think they look great!

What a busy start we have had to this year already. We have just had a fantastic camp with Room 9 & 10 joining us at Papamoa. The children loved the jet boat ride, the walk up the Papamoa Hills and the visit to Comvita to see the BEES. This all could not have happened without our wonderful parents. We saw lots of childen meeting challenges such as being extremely brave and being away from their parents for two nights, zooming down the hydroslide at Baywave or going really fast on a jet boat!

Soon we will be attending the Life Education Van where the children will be learning how we are all individuals and different and that is okay.They will also be learning  about the body and especially the brain.
