Room 2 Garden

Room 2 have been inspired to tidy our garden and made it look beautiful. We have found lots of flower plants under the weeds. We definitely have some very keen gardeners who worked very hard.

Room 2 enjoyed the Duffy Book Hero, Tipene Harmer. We watched him beat box using only his voice to make music. Tipene was a rapper who once had a record on the top ten. He told us how he needs to read and write to be a rapper and gave us some examples of the rhyming words that he uses in his raps. Room 2 were pleased to get their Duffy books signed by Tipene.

Room 2 and Teeth Inquiry.

Room 2's inquiry has moved to the Explain stage and we are thinking about teeth. Today we made models of the structure of our teeth using playdough to represent all the different parts.

Wairoa Winter Warmers Big Day Out

On Wednesday Room 2 had an action packed Wairoa day.

At the library the Librarian read us a fishing story using her funny voices. Then we went upstairs where we choose our own books and a pen to keep, and we got some treats. We got so many cool prizes just because we did all of our 10 winter warmers book reviews. Jahnei.

Next we walked to the pools to have a swimming lesson from Aunty Sarah. She is a very talented swimming teacher and she showed me how to dive. When you dive you put your hands up and cover your ears and push off with your feet. If you do this it will work and your dive will look amazing. Then we got to have free time to play stuck in the mud. The swim was the most marvelous part of the day. By Memaree

As part of our inquiry on the human body we went to the dental clinic to visit Grace. She answered our questions and showed us all of the equipment that she uses to look after out teeth. We saw all the rooms including the store room and Grace’s office. She had a very special chair that went up and down.

We went to the skateboard park to play on our scooters and skateboards. We got to go really fast down the ramp and over the bumps. Rome did jumps. It was fun because we had races and everyone had a turn. Rebecca

The best part of the day was playing with our friends.
