Home Colour

Olly brought along cuttings from the native trees that we have used to name the special house groups at our school. What a great idea Olly. Can you recognise the trees?

Calendar Art

We have been working hard on art work for our calendars in class. Please come into the class and have a look so that you can decide on what order you might like to place.

Faraway tree

We are lucky enough in Room 5 to have our very own Faraway Tree. We are planning to put some of the main characters in the tree and add lots of the exciting things that grow on the tree during the next few weeks. Keep an eye on the blog for further developments.

Fractions

We have been learning about fractions on maths. We now know that the larger the number on the bottom of the fraction(denominator)the smaller the share of the whole is.

Marae visit

Yesterday the Year 2 team went to Rapaki Marae. We learned some interesting things about the Marae and had a great day. We sang our waiata beautifully. A BIG thank you to James for his speech and to all the parents who came on the trip and helped us.

Today we celebrated 100 days at school.We had a fantastic day of activities and a super shared lunch.Thank you parents and caregivers for preparing such beautiful 100 themed treats. You were very creative.
























We made a snake cake using 100 biscuits and yummy icing!



We did Name Art and put the letters of our names inside each square of a 100s board, then highlighted the first letter of our name to see the pattern created.


We talked about kind conversations and came up with 100 kind sayings.








We also thought about things we could do 100 times, the. We did them and recorded our achievements.
