AmeriCARna

On Friday, we went to see AmeriCARna with our buddy class. About 300 american cars drove through Greytown. We waved and cheered. Here are photos of some of the cars.

Welcome back!

Wow, it's 2011 and January has already flown by!

We are already busy with lots of exciting learning in room 2- swimming, writing fantastic stories and checking out our monarch caterpillars and frogs. Keep checking back in to see what we add each week.

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.

Wow, what a fantastic day. Everyone had a great race and I can see that all that practice paid off.

Well done room 2 kids!
