Mr McKenzie said that it was really hot and it burst into flames - Navah
He said that if it glows red it is very, very, very hot - Olivia
The metal thing burnt the grass - Angus
The metal thing looked like a mask - Campbell and Seth
Mr Whakarau said that... he used to do hangis when he was little - Campbell
...they had a trailer full of wood that burnt on the hangi pit - Natalie

Bubbles...ooOo00
Modules in Room 2 was all about bubbles...
Room 3 facts...
Dry fingers pop bubbles, wet fingers don't
When bubbles pop - they are actually still there!
If surface tension isn't broken, the bubble won't pop
Bubbles don't pop - bubbles deflate
Hands can make bubbles
All bubbles are circles, but can be made with any shape
You can stand in a bubble - 3 people perhaps
If the bubble mixture doesn't work, modify it

Nick and Tai surfing...
For our first story writing for 2012, Room 3 wrote about Nick and Tai.
Nick bought a doberman puppy from Mrs Robinson in 2011. Nick sent Mrs Robinson some pictures of him taking Tai surfing. Room 3 had a lot to say about this picture and found it very funny. They also thought it was very cool!!
So ... we wrote about it...

The cat in the hat!
The Cat in the Hat is our Literacy Motivator this term - phonics, word families and rhymes are a great way to start back into the 'reading' and 'writing' mode.
To start Room 3 children wrote a poem...
And then we illustrated our poem...
