We are learning about space. We have a tent in the class room that is dark as night and its got glow in the dark stars in it. So it looks like the night sky. This is a poem about space that we have to learn:

Zoom zoom zoom
Zoom zoom zoom
I'm going to the moon
Zoom zoom zoom
I'll get there soon
If you want to take a trip
Climb abord my rocket ship
Zoom zoom zoom
I'm going to the moon.

Room 3 is going to write a letter to the Board of Trustees. This is the letter:

Room 3 have been looking for a new spot for our sandpit. We think the sandpit should go by the log because there is lots of space, there is also shade. We like playing on the log around there. We think the shape of our sandpit should be an octagon so we have more space and lots of sand.
From Room 3.

Teacher's Message
14 March 2008

This week Room 3 learnt about heavy and light. We practised weighing things using scales. We have been to have Miss Williams working with us. She is learning how to teach children. We are still swimming because the weather has been quite warm. Room 3 is getting really good at swimming with flutterboards. Especially kicking on our backs. Next week we are starting to learn about Autumn.
