Room 2's Assembly!

On Friday the 5th of August it was Room 2's Assembly. We performed Tutiria Mai Nga Iwi, played Old McDonald Had a Farm on xylophones and shared a movie of photos of us at School! Everyone did so well and it was a spectacular Assembly! Thank you to all the parents and families that came to support us us :) 

Ashburton Museum Trip

On Thursday the 16th of June, Room 2 went on a trip to the Ashburton Museum. We learnt about lots of new things like how the Canterbury Plains were formed, all about mountains, rivers, glaciers and lakes and we also learnt about different types of rocks. We were lucky enough to get to learn about and feel some extremely rare and precious rocks. We also viewed art in the art gallery and looked at a lot of different things from a long time ago. Here are some photos of us at the Museum:

This is us viewing art that is made from recycled materials.

We pretended to be mountains, lakes, rivers, and glaciers to understand the process of the flat land that we live on being formed.

This is us jumping and pretending to be hot rocks, exploding out of a volcano!

Now we are compressed, flat rocks under the sea.

This was an awesome, interactive display which showed the process of irrigation.

This is us learning about different types of rocks.

Volcano Experiment!

On Wednesday we made volcanoes! We used tin foil, cups, trays, baking soda, red food colouring and vinegar. First we constructed our volcanoes and put them into our trays. Then we mixed the liquid with the baking soda in the paper cups and watched the explosion! There was red bubbling and fizzing lava everywhere! Here are some photos of the fun:

Cross- Country

On Tuesday the 24th of May, we all participated in our School's cross-country. Here are some photos of us running towards the finishing line:

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!

Here is room 2 with their Easter bunny's ready to go home for Easter weekend.

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.
