Welcome to Room 7 2018

Welcome to Room 7 in 2018

We have had a great first week in Room 7. It's been lovely to meet all the children and their families. We have been focused on getting to know each other and setting up our classroom routines. We wrote about our summer holiday and our Waitangi weekend this week. We learnt about how to keep ourselves safe in the sun and created a classroom treaty in which we all agreed to work towards a safe and happy classroom. We had fun talking about what we want to be when we grow up and had a brainstorming session talking about what we think learning is; our purpose for being at school.

In Maths, we are currently learning about collecting data and presenting it on graphs in our Statistics focus. 






 We had our first P.E session in the Gym with Room 8 last Friday. We really enjoyed playing games and using our problem solving skills to work together to complete team challenges.

West Harbour Gardens

West Harbour Gardens Last week, the Year 2 team went on our annual trip to West Harbour Gardens Residential Home. The children had been practising and preparing for this for weeks and were very excited when we ventured out the school gate.  We walked to West Harbour Gardens where we sang a selection of songs to the residents and then gave them gifts that the children had made. After having an ice block, we headed back to school. We walked through the Luckens Reserve Walkway and completed our adventure at the Luckens Reserve where we had a picnic lunch and then a play on the playground. The children (and teachers) were exhausted with achievement, having walked 6kms, and were pleased to be back at school.

Our Whanau Morning

Our Whanau Morning          On Friday 21st September the Year 2 team hosted our team Whanau Morning. The children had been working very hard in preparation and were extremely excited. With this term's focus on learning more about who we are and our family connections, the children wrote invitations to their family members to come and share some of their learning. I think the invitations must have done the trick - because our turn out was fabulous and the classrooms were bursting with guests. My sincerest thank you to all those who came to join in the fun. It meant a lot to the children, and a lot to me. As part of our inquiry into culture this term, we have learnt some dances from other countries around the world. We started our morning off by demonstrating these dances to our guests in the gym. After our last dance, the children then asked their guests to join in; and we all danced 'The Bird Dance' together. It was fantastic to see all the smiles and l
