Today we are showcasing a great piece of reading work from Katelin. Checkout more of here learning here: http://gmskatelinr9660.blogspot.com/
This week for reading my group has been reading an opinion text about stoats as pests. One of our tasks was to put the different opinions in the text on a continuum. We also had to interview 2 people in the class. We had to put the opinions in order from who strongly disagrees or strongly agrees to in between.
I have also made a form for you to fill out so I can get others opinions on this topic.

Showcasing Harris
This year we are participating in the Blog X programme where we can choose something we enjoy to blog about. Other people in our area are blogging about this too and we can connect with each other through our blogs. Check out Harris's Blog X post. You can see more work from Harris on his blog here: http://gmsharriso6880.blogspot.com/
For my Blog X I have chosen to draw all my favourite skate board logos. My favourite is probably the Spitfire mixed with Vans because Spitfire is my favourite wheel brand.

Indoor Bowls
This term some of our students have been lucky enough to have weekly sessions learning to play Indoor Bowls. This has proved to be a challenging and engaging sport for all. The students are developing their skills so they are able to participate in a friendly competition at the end of the term. Here is Jorja and Deklan having a go. Look at the concentration!
Totara 3 Represents!
This term we have has a number of students from Totara 3 be involved in Grey Main School Teams. Here are some of the highlights:
Westamaths
4 members of our class were members of the Grey Main Westamath teams and all had fantastic results. Adison and Jacob were members of the Year 7 champion Westamath team winning the Year 7 competition. Geordie was also in a Year 7 team which came 4th after a tiebreaker for 3rd place. Ayesha was a member of the Year 8 Westamath team who gained 3rd place in the Year 8 competition after a stressful tiebreaker. What great results from out T3 maths whizz kids!
Cantamaths
Yesterday the top Year 7 and top Year 8 Grey Main Westamaths teams travelled to Christchurch to compete in the Cantamath competition. This is rather daunting with over 100 teams in each age group, in comparison to our local competition of 20 teams. Well done to Ayesha, Adison and Jacob who took part in this. The exciting news from this event is our Year 7 team, including Adison and Jacob, scored 90 points and were in the top 10 teams for this competition. This is the highest score a Grey Main team has ever got at this event. Very proud of these learners!
ASB Netball Challenge
On Tuesday the Grey Main Netball team of which Katelin is a member, competed in the ASB primary school's local tournament. After a nailbiting finish they took out the final. Congratulations to this team. They now will represent our district in the West Coast competition in a couple of weeks.

Earlier this year Totara 3 organised and ran a fundraising sausage sizzle to raise money for more skateboarding equipment in our playground. We successfully raised over $500 and have begun designing a skateboard ramp that we are going to build together as a class. With some of our money we also purchased a rail for the skate area and this week some of "The Skate Crew" installed this. Very exciting to see results after our fundraising efforts. Here is our new skate rail.
Showcasing Jacob: Persuasive Writing
Today we are showcasing some collaborative writing posted by Jacob. Check out more of Jacob's work here: https://gmsjacobb4251.blogspot.com/
Last week, our class created some persuasive writing about recycling. I was in a group with a friend or two and we created this piece of persuasive writing.
