Athletics

We've had a busy and exciting week. We found out about the Summer holiday reading programme that the local library will have. On Thursday we had some dancers perform for us and on Friday we had our junior athletics afternoon. Here's a photo of the obstacle course from our athletics.

Pet Day

Pet Day was on Wednesday. We all had a wonderful time bringing our pets and having a look around. Here are some photos of the day.

Term 4

Wow, it's term 4 already and the weeks are flying by! I have some great slideshows of instructions to make fairy bread but I can't get them to upload at the moment, so keep posted or come and check them out with your kids on the classroom computers.

Pet Day is this week and we all have our fingers crossed for great weather. Keep an eye out for photos of our much loved animals.

Market Day

Today is market day! We are going to be selling food that we have made as an action for our topic this term. We are so excited.

Wall Wisher

Remember to have a look at out wall wisher. The link is on the left hand side of this page.

This is what people have added so far....

PMP

This term we are doing lots of different activities on Friday mornings. We move around the junior classrooms and spend time doing PMP, art, music and drama. We really enjoy getting to do so many different activities each week. Here are some photos of us warming up at PMP time.

Goop!

Mrs Tanner made goop with room 2. Goop is made from cornflour and water. It is a liquid most of the time but when you put pressure on it, it behaves like a solid. It is similar to quicksand.

Here are some photos of us playing with the goop.

Welcome!

A big welcome to Coco and Lee.
Coco is a new student in our class.
Lee is a student teacher from Victoria University and she will be working with us in room 2 until the end of the term.

Well done room 2 kids!

The children will be running over farmland and will need suitable footwear to run in, please.

Book club orders are due this week please. Remember no coins please.

Homework

Homework books are coming home today.

They will have basic facts in the front and spelling in the back.

A very big thank you to Jackie who is testing the children on their spelling and helping them to put their new words in each week. :)

Term 2 Week 2 (26-30 April)

We're back into our regular routines and some great learning has started.

Reading homework started to come home last week and spelling and basic facts will begin today.

At times, there may also be other small bits of homework such as practice formation of a letter or finishing a piece of work started in class.

If you have any questions about these, please pop in and ask or email me.

Term 2 Week 1 (19-23 April)

Welcome back! I hope everyone has had a great break and is ready for a busy term of learning.
For topic this term, we will explore our 5 senses. We will investigate how they help us and what life would be like if one of our senses didn't work properly. Homework will start this week with reading and spelling. Basic facts will begin next week.
Our P.E. topic for the next few weeks is called Lasting the distance. We will be running regularly each week and so your child will need suitable shoes.

Week 2 2010

Wow! It's 2010 already.

We're back in class and busy getting know each other.

Swimming has started this week and there are lots of children who enjoy being in the water which is great to see. A big thank you to the parents who are helping out and to all those others who volunteered their time. I don't think I've ever had so many offers of parent help!

Our blog this year will consist of children's work, photos and information about the happenings in our class. Please feel free to have a look and give the children some feedback on their work.
