Kia ora Room 3! I just wanted to write a little note to say thanks for a great term 3. I’m having lots of fun getting to know you all and I love your enthusiasm and energy. You have all worked very hard this term and you can be so proud of yourselves. Have a big rest over the school holiday break… and come back with your thinking brains switched on! See you soon!


From Miss Cookson

Word Worm

We drew a wiggly word worm outside on the courts with chalk. We took turns writing some of the words that we have been learning. Our worm was so long and we were surprised by all the words that we can write! When we draw our next word worm… it might be even longer!

Wacky Hair Day

On the last day of term 3 we helped raise money for children whose lives are effected by autism. We made the day special by sprucing up our normal hairstyles into WACKY HAIR!

WOW Those Amazing Barbaloots!

In week 9 of term 3, the children at Muritai School performed like superstars. “The Lorax” was a fantastic show – with an exciting combination of music, dance and singing. The barbaloots in Room 3 showed off their funky dance moves and received lots of clapping from the audience.
Thank you all you wonderful parents who cut and sewed all those brilliant barbaloot suits!

Term 3 - Week 8

Along with every class at Muritai School, Room 3 has been busily preparing for our fantastic production... The Lorax. We are very excited to now have our Barbaloot suits… we are just about ready to rock!

World Literacy Week
All around the world children have been celebrating literacy, with World Literacy Week. Throughout the week teachers have been taking turns reading to children in the library. There have been lots of fantastic listeners filling our library up! On Monday, we dressed up as our favourite book characters. In Room 3 we had a cat called Mog, a policeman, superman, a pirate, Rapunzel, a ballet dancer, Buzz Lightyear, a Power Ranger, many beautiful princesses… and more! Here are some of us dressed up and in character!

Term 3 - Week 7




This post is a collection of some of Room 3’s writing about our visit to the Senior School last week. A big thanks to Ms Berry from Room 22, who took time out of her busy day to show us around.

I was at the big kid’s school. I saw a garden with herbs and the boat with wobbly seats.
