Algebra Learning

This term in Room 2, we are learning about Algebra.  More specifically, patterns and relationships. What patterns have you made before? What colours have you used? What shapes have you used? Has anyone made neclaces before we you have made a pattern. We will be using lots of materials and equipment to build, create, continue and talk about patterns.  Here are some website links that will also help you with your learning. So what are you waiting for?

Gymnastics Festival

Our beautiful children put their best foot forward on Friday at the Wairoa Inter-school 2015 Gymnastics Festival. Beam, Box, Skipping, Floor and Bar routines had all been practiced and polished this term. Some personal goals/bests were achieved and it was a super proud moment to watch. Many thanks to the Gisborne Gymnastics members that travelled down to judge and our whanau that came to tautoko.

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. 

Duffy Books

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.
