Haiku Poetry
We have recently been writing haiku poems.A Haiku is a Japanese poem that does not rhyme. It is a poem that describes something in nature. Haiku poems consist of three lines, each with a set amount of syllables.The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables and the last line has 5 syllables.
Cinquain Poetry
During our literacy block we have begun learning about different types of poetry. The first type we have written are called cinquains. Cinquain poems are five line poems consisting of a noun (line 1), two adjectives (line 2), three verbs (line 3), a four word phrase or sentence (line 4) followed by a synonym for our noun (line 5). Keep an eye on our class page as we are currently writing haiku poetry and will be venturing into colour poetry shortly.

The school website is an amazing resource that enables us to post photos and activities that your child completes throughout the year. It is also an excellent tool for parent and community communication which allows you to keep up to date with what it happening in our class and around the school. I regularly update our class page and add a reminder on our weekly classroom noticeboard, our Connect page and also in class newsletters to remind you to regularly check the page.

The Hogwarts Sorting Hat Visits Room 2
|
As you would be aware by now, the children of Room 2 are examining Harry Potter for their Term 3 Literature Study. When the children entered the class for the first day of Term 3, they were sorted into houses.
They each needed to place the Hogwarts Sorting Hat on their head and received a puzzle piece. They then tried to find all the other students in the class that had the same type of puzzle piece as them. Once they had constructed their puzzle together as a group they found out which house they belonged to for the term. We then used the 'Sorting Hat' experience for our 'Show, Don't Tell' writing session which will be displayed during our Open Night later this term. |

Term 2 Homework : Studyladder
|
For homework this term we will be revising the mathematics concepts covered in Term 1 using the program studyladder. Each week I will assign a new group of activities for your child to complete. The majority will be maths activities, with some literacy activities also included. Studyladder will only allow your child to complete 3 activities each afternoon so they will need to log on regularly throughout the week.
Your child's username and password went home with the Term 2 newsletter. |
Time Games For Home
|
We have recently been working hard on time to the 5 minutes. There are two fantastic websites which can help consolidate this understanding at home. Both are tablet friendly.
Year 3 students need to be able to do both skills confidently. We will continue to build on this understanding next semester with time to the minute. For your convenience use the buttons to go straight to the websites. |

Money Games For Home

Typing Tournament & Maths Invaders
Access to both of these websites has been paid for by NKPS. Typing Tournament is a program designed to get your child more confident typing and quick at using the keyboard. Maths invaders focuses on basic number facts and will help with your child's fluency.
The user name and password are the same for both sites and have been sent home with our Term 2 class newsletter.

Thank you to parents and guests who were able to make it to the Open Night on Tuesday 2-4-19. At NKPS we believe that education works best when there is a partnership between school and home.

Welcome to Year 3!
My name is Luke Riseberry, I moved from Perth originally in 2004 for only one term but have been lucky enough to call Kalgoorlie my home ever since. My first two years in Kalgoorlie I taught at Hannans Primary School. I have taught at North Kalgoorlie Primary School since 2006. I achieved Senior Teacher status in 2014 in the Education Department which acknowledges the extra roles and responsibilities I have at our school. I have taught Year 3 for the majority of my time at NKPS and have been the Year 3 Phase Leader for the last 10 years. I am passionate about North Kalgoorlie Primary School. My wife teaches here and my daughter is also a student. I look forward to establishing a positive working partnership with yourself and your child. |

Class Rules and NKPS Behaviour Expectations
|
In Week 1, the children were put into small groups. They were given post-it-notes and told to write down all the good things they wanted to see happen in Room 2 and also all the bad things they did not want to see.
We then had a class discussion about N.K.P.S Behaviour Expectations. We discussed what we thought Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Caring and Be Your Best meant. As a class, we grouped all of the post-it-note 'rules' into the N.K.P.S Behaviour Expectations. We saw there were lots of cross over themes which helped to further illustrate how we do not need an extensive list of rules in our class. If we follow the four N.K.P.S Behaviour Expectations it will create a positive, safe, successful learning environment. The children then split back into their own groups to design and publish their own posters for the N.K.P.S Behaviour Expectations. Check out their amazing work in the gallery below! |

PATHS Kid Of The Day : Term 1 Compliments

As you would know by now, N.K.P.S runs a PATHS program across the school. Each day we have a different student that is selected to be Room 2's PATHS Kid of the Day. At the end of each day the PATHS Kid of the Day gets to sit up the front and chooses children from the class to give them compliments. The compliments that were given to your child are in the gallery below. |
