Week 2

Room 2 has had some changes this week - we are now the Year 1 class with Miss Poi and Koka Ringi. The Year 2 tamariki have moved into Room 4 with Koka Kararaina. So our class has gone from 28 kiddies to 13, but that won't last for long as we have 3 new students starting soon.

Term 3

Term 3 : Week 1

Room 2 tamariki were super excited to be back at school. Here we are getting into our learning, and showing manaaki by being our best. 

Printing the Letter P

Kia ora koutou,
In Room 2 we practice our printing every day.  Today, we were practising the letter P!
We were all listening very carefully to make sure that we were creating careful letter p's, starting in the right place and remembering to start right at the top for the capital P, and halfway down for the lowercase letter p.

Can you see how well we were concentrating, by looking at our photos?

Our Bubble

Last week we created some Bubble Art after reading the book "Bubbles". Later on we talked about the people who were in our bubbles during lock down, and why it was important to keep our bubbles safe and small. We drew pictures of our lock down bubbles too.

Week 7: Printing our letters

This week in Room 2, we are learning all about printing our letters. Today when Kōka Amie came to see us, we were carefully practising in our printing books.

Look how much wonderful learning we are doing back here at school in Term 2!

Maths

Counting with Hinekehu

Today we started our morning with some maths. Check out Hinekehu with her learning. She is learning to count objects, write her numbers and identify her numbers up to 20.

Anzac Day

Anzac Art with Acacia and Braxton 

Tomorrow is Anzac Day, however it will be commemorated much differently to what we are used too, as New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Acacia (Room 1) and her sister Braxton (Room 2) created beautiful poppies to celebrate Anzac Day. Their mum Bridget, talked to them about Anzac Day and asked what the day means to them:

Acacia said: "It’s celebrating Anzac Day".

Braxton said “Its mummy’s birthday, and we remember when New Zealand and Australia went to war and died”.
