Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!! Look at the GREAT cards we made all by ourselves. We are so clever!!

Maths Olympiad!

On Thursday, our fantastic, brave team of BM, WC, TR and VA competed against the other year 2s in a Maths Olympiad competition! We were SO proud of our team!!! Well done guys!

Here's some photos of the excitement!

Look! BM is running so fast I couldn't even take a photo!

Skyping fun!

We were lucky enough to skype our friends at Te Mata school today! They wanted to know LOTS about our school and asked us lots of questions. We asked them some back too!

We did a padlet of all the questions we could remember, picked one, and then wrote about it!

We were particularly interested in telling them all about our recycling and how we take care of our environment!

We decided to make a book on the iPads with all of our stories and pictures to tell them more about us! Have a look! 

Here is their e-learning blog so you can see what they are up to!

Gymnastics!

Room 10 are learning to do all sorts of fantastic things in Gymnastics.

In writing we are learning to use sequencing and ordering.

Check out some of these fantastics pieces of writing.

In Gymnastics we learned how to do a forward roll. Firstly, crouch down to the floor mats like a frog. Second, we tuck our heads into our chest. Next you have to push yourself over. Then put your bottom up and make sure your hands are on the floor mats. Lastly, make sure that your head doesn’t touch the floor mats!! It is hard for me.

Firstly, crouch down to the ground like a frog. Second, tuck your head into your chest like you are holding a peanut. Next, push ourselves over. Then, put your bottom up in the air. After that, make sure your hands are on the floor so you can push. Lastly, make sure you don’t land on your head!!! It is easy because I keep on trying.

Helping out "The Barking Lot"

Room 10 received a letter in the mail from Miss Ladley's friend Louisa. She has just opened a brand new doggy day care in Wellington and desperately needed some help decorating it!

If you need a fantastic place to take care of your furry pals, here is their website!

The Barking Lot

So room 10 put their thinking hats on and decided to draw her some pictures to brighten her wall. Here they are! The first photos are the before photos. Miss Ladley said, "what do you think a dog looks like?" So we drew one. Then she showed us the shapes and we practised them all before drawing our final picture.

Check out our amazing art!!!

Connections!

The Bumblebees are learning to make connections to books they have read. They searched through magazines to find some pictures that connected to the book "Dogs can't read".

 Check out some of the videos!

Contractions!

We are learning to recognise contractions in our reading! Have a look at this screencast of AS playing our favourite contractions game.
 

Amazing maths.

We have a new learning tool in room 10 and we are loving it! Have a look at the fantastic maths we can do on our iPads.

Hiwi the Kiwi

On Monday, we were lucky enough to have a visit from Hiwi the Kiwi! They taught us to take care of the ocean and how to be a good fisherman. Check out our amazing brainstorm and stories about Hiwi's adventures and taking care of the sea!

Kai moana is food from the sea. We need to take care of the sea.

Big and little fish need to go back in the sea because the big fish might have babies and the little fish need to grow. Do not fish too much!

Some places can’t be fished in. There might be barracouta who are mean fish.

If there were no fish left then there would be no more smoked fish! Which I love!!

We need a life jacket and ice when we go fishing. The ice will keep the fish cool.

If the boat tips over, the life jacket will make you float.

Seafood might go away if we keep fishing too much! Put the fish back in the sea with a wet towel. A wet towel will keep the scales on.

Fish for the future! Save the fish!

We need not to catch too many fish or there will be no fish left. We need to take care of the fish. We need to wear a life jacket when we are in the water. Put little fish back and the big fish too because they might have babies. You need ice to put the fish in. We need to follow these rules so that there will be fish for the future!

Hiwi the Kiwi went fishing in a boat and caught a small fish and let it go with a wet towel.

Then Hiwi the Kiwi caught a fish that was having a baby because it was big.

If Hiwi the Kiwi didn’t know what size it was then we could get the ruler out to see what size the fish was.

But before Hiwi the Kiwi went sailing, he put on a life jacket so be could be safe. Hiwi the Kiwi needs to be safe because there might be sharks in the blue water.

Kaimoana is food for us from the sea, which helps us stay healthy and strong! Don’t over fish so we can have fish for the future!
