Madi and Rosa have a question that they would like an answer for....

We are learning about the Monarch Butterfly in our class this term.  We want to know why the chrysalis has lovely gold little bits on it.  We have googled this question, but we are still unsure of the answer.

Please, please can anyone help us find out the answer to this question...

From Madi and Rosa (Year 3 students from room 3)

Discovery World...

Fun at the Botanical Gardens...

We had such a relaxed and fun time at the Botanical Gardens.  Tim (Freddie's dad) bought us some hot chips for lunch.  We were absolutely appreciative!

The Birds were absolutely stunning...

Mrs Russell had her finger and toes crossed in hope that nobody fell in the pond!

Our trip to the Butterfly House and Botanical Gardens

Arlo, Madi, Rosa, Anton and Kahu enjoy the butterflies landing on them.

It was really hot at the top of the Butterfly House. 

Josie standing under the waterfall to cool down.

Do you think Bruno knows that there is a butterfly on his hat?

The butterflies enjoyed Arlo's bright colours on his top!

Jake was impressed to see swan plants and caterpillars at the Butterfly House.

We got to see some butterflies from Asia being released into the Butterfly House.

Nicholas couldn"t believe that some of the butterflies land in the pond and drown...

Mrs Russell looking happy because nobody fell in the pond....

Easter Spirit....

Look at our cool easter cards!

Brain Rest Time...

Jake, Kahu and Roland get creative!

Arlo and Charlie think carefully about their creation...

Throughout the day in our class, we need to have little chill out times where our brain doesn't have to work so hard.  This is one of our activities that we enjoy doing.  "Creating imaginative things with our playdough".

Our Monarch Butterflies...

Today we let our butterfly go free.  The Monarch Butterfly hatched from its chrysalis in our classroom.  By Arlo

Room 3 Year 3 and 4 Cricket Representatives...

Madi and Bruno aged 6 years old were representatives from our class in the Dunedin annual year 3 and 4 competition held in Dunedin on Tuesday 26th, March 2013.

Warrington School Year 3 and 4 Cricket Team

On Tuesday 26th March, Warrington year 3 and 4 cricket team participated in the Dunedin Cricket Competition.  We demonstrated some good cricket skills all round.  Madi bowled two or three players out and Bruno showed accurate bowling, fielding and batting skills.  Mrs Russell and Dawn were the coaches and said it was way too tricky to choose a player of the tournament from th Warrington team because everyone played extremely well!!!

Meet our special class friends...

We have 3 special friends in our class - Harold,  his Uncle Harold and Brother Harold.
