Room 5 Year 3 Class of 2013
This year we are in the Middle Syndicate and everything has changed! In the Middle Syndicate we have real desks, a new playground, helping hands, treasure hunts and lots of time on the computers. We are enjoying being Year 3s because we do lots of fun things. By Grace
Last year we had normal desks. They were boring but... when we came into Room 5 we had real desks! On our first day we got to... SLAM our desk lids for thirty seconds, wow what a lot of noise. There is a rule not to go in other peoples' desks. Inside our desks we have all our school supplies. Now we are Middle Syndicate people. It's nice being a Middle person. By William and Amelia
In Room 5 we get lots of time on the computers. We use new games called E Ako Maths, Spelling City and Sunshine Online. We use headphones. We are getting more computers and i pads soon. We made pie graphs that showed how many boys, girls and teachers are in Room 5. We made them using the COW. COW stands for computers on wheels. By Meadow and Max
We have helping hands in Room 5. The VIPs are the main helpers over the week. They are leaders, choose songs and take messages. We also have helpers to keep the class tidy and lunch order monitors. We will have a job to do every second week.

In Room 5 we sit in groups of 6. The names of the groups are Liquorice Allsorts, Lollipops, Jelly Beans and Gum Balls. We get points for co-operating with others and for answering sticky questions. When the marbles are gone we count to see which group has the most marbles and they get ten minutes on the playground.

Treasure Hunt and Treasure Box
Everyday three children will get a treasure hunt. If one child finds the treasure, they will get to go in the treasure box and get a treat. The numbers will help you guess where the treasure is. The treasure is hard to find. It is different for us because last year we didn't have treasure hunts.

In the Junior Syndicate we started to sell chocolate because we were raising money for the new Middle Playground that was being built. My Dad's name is Phillip. He is part of the school board. Since my Dad is part of the school board, my Dad helped build the Middle Playground. I helped too. We had to keep on going back and forth from the tip and shops for the equiment for the playground. When I watched the playground, I kept on asking Dad if I could play on it. He said "maybe." But I guess that meant no! The first thing that was built was the rock climbing wall. The second thing was the slide. It probably took a whole year to build the Middle Playground! Now it is all built, and now we are in the Middle Syndicate! Thank you for reading about the Middle Playground being built. By Eliana and Zoe
This year we are allowed on the back field and the best thing about that is climbing the trees. The best trees are the one in the corner and the one that is nearest to the line in the grass. We swing on the branches and we can climb so high that we can see every classroom in the school! We find water in little pools in the trunk of the tree.

Every two weeks we have a Middle Syndicate Assembly. Children from Rooms 5, 9, 10 and 12 take turns at leading the assemblies. The teachers choose spotters and the spotters look for the class who will get the Middle Syndicate Shield. At the assemblies we get to share our work. To get the Middle Syndicate Shield your class has to sit up straight and sing nicely. By Caitlin and Jaylee
Every Friday we go to the library and we find good books. If we bring the same books back on Friday we can get two more books out. If we are not finished a book we can keep it for another week and just get one new book out. We get one book for our desk and one book for home. The desk book is a chapter book.
By Patrick, James and Ryan
Now we are Year 3 we have real athletics. We learnt to do high jump, long jump, discus, shot put, relay, hurdles and sprints. We do athletics on the back field. It is all really cool. My favourite is high jump. Mr du Mez teaches it. You've got to do a sissor jump over the bar. Long jump is cool too. Miss Scott teaches it. By Lucy and Tessa
Thank you for reading all about OUR PLACE. We hope you have enjoyed reading all about Year 3 and Room 5.
