Sea Week

As part of Green week, we are learning about the sea and the creatures that live in it.
We were very excited to have a visit from Steve from Ocean Explorers. He showed us some wonderful videos and photos of creatures under the sea. He also talked to us about plastic and how we need to look after the sea by putting plastic into the rubbish bin, because otherwise it might end up in the sea, and sea creatures may think it is food!

                           Ocean explorers have a fantastic website you may like to look.

As part of Sea Week, Room 2 will be learning about penguins. If you have any interesting information about penguins to share with us please let Mrs Getty know!

Caught Being Good

Congratulations Tamsin and Muhammad who received 'Caught Being Good' certificates at Rimu Team Assembly this week.  We are all very proud of you, keep up the good work!

Swimming

We were very excited to begin swimming lessons this week. We were learning how to blow bubbles in the water and how to use straight legs for kicking. We loved our swimming lesson!

Statistics

This term our strand topic for Maths is Statistics.

We have been learning how to gather and sort information. Here are the pictographs we have made.

We are learning how to talk about the information we have gathered. We are learning to use sentences such as "The most popular fruit was........." and :The least popular fruit is........"

The Library

 Sharing a book with a friend is great fun! 

 Tom found the big books. Can you see the magazine shelf behind him?

Rhys and Lokkie sat together on the step.  There are lots of different places to sit and read in the library.

Wow, look how many books Kingi found to read.  It was hard to choose which book to take back to class.

 Parauri and Kaylah found the comfy cushions and some great books to read.

We love to visit the Library!  We like to read to a buddy, read the big books, sit on the cushions and choose books to take back to our classroom.  

Our first week of school

Well done to everyone for getting through their first week of school. We have had a busy time meeting each other and settling into our new school.

Here we are getting to know our school.

We walked to the playground and the sandpit.

                                                 

                                                 We found Rachel's  office and the hall. Now we know that when we see a red line we must STOP. Well done everyone, have a great weekend.
