End of term 1!

We have been very busy in room 2 towards the end of the term. We have been doing some fun technology challenges which included making giant poppies, spaghetti and marshmallow towers, Easter bunny faces and paper planes! We have also been finishing off our paintings which are displayed in room 2. Here are some photos of what we have been doing: 

Our finished poppy's which we made all by ourselves with no help from the teacher!

Have a wonderful and safe holiday and we will see you back at school ready for another exciting term in term 2!

ICT in Room 2

Each week, room 2 is lucky enough to spend some time on the laptops. We have been learning how to open programs such as Microsoft word, and we have been learning how to type. We can all type our names and other words we know too! Next time we will be leaning how to type sentences.

PJ Day!!

Last Friday we had a mufti day and the theme was pajamas! We didn't even need to get dressed to come to school! Here are some photos of room 2 in their pajamas. 

Statistics

For the first four weeks of term one we have been focusing on statistics during maths. We learnt about tally charts, bar graphs and pictographs. Here is some of our statistics charts we created together.

Painting in Room 2

Here is some photos of our art work we have created using our hand prints. We have been focusing on using paint in different ways to create as piece of art.

Room 2 Class Treaty and Manners Definition

In room 2 we came up with a definition as to what we think showing courtesy and having manners means to us. We also worked together to create a class Treaty that everyone has agreed to follow. We put hand prints around our Treaty as our way of signing the Treaty and agreeing to these rules.
