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!

Buddy Writing

Last week Room 2 worked with a Buddy to complete their stories, one person was the author, and the other was the illustrator. Check out some our mahi.

Today my mum went on a double Decker bus from Gisborne to Auckland. I am  happy because she is getting a new car. We had some pies for breakfast. My auntie and uncle came with me to have breakfast. By Fairlane

Author: Phoenyx    Illustrator: Swyft 

I made a dinosaur at school and I built it on my own. I was happy and I liked my
dinosaur. And I made the claws and I made the head. I made the tail and I
made the spikes. I made the mouth all by myself.

Last week Room 2 had  a Mystery Kai Challenge. We were blindfolded and had to taste than guess the food. Some of our kai was yummy - like the chippies and chocolate sprinkles. Some of the food was yucky - like the Greek yogurt.

Matariki stories

Last week we started looking at different Myths and Legends about Matariki. We had a go at retelling the stories in our own words. Here are a few of our stories...

Maui Slowed down the Sun. Tama - nui-te- ra, the sun, was angry and went to hide. Without the sun it got cold. It was winter. The people missed the sun. Matariki sang songs and brought back the sun. Everyone was happy. Matariki is a time when we remember and celebrate. By Swyft

Maui and his  brothers slowed Tama nui te ra .The sun was hurt and hid away. It was cold and all the people were sad. Matariki and her sisters sang songs and brought Tama nui te ra back. By Waiariki
