Hi everyone, we have had a visit from the Life Education caravan. We were looking at our Brains, how they work and what they need to work. Please ask your children about what they learned about their brains, I'm sure they will still remember some facts. I have put the above link in for any one to have a look at or for the children to have a play. Thanks. Miss J.

Dioramas with Mrs Wallace

Recently room 2 made dioramas with Mrs Wallace.
First we planned it in our I.B.L, then we painted a shoebox or just a box and put yellow paint, yellow paper or actual sand.
We decorated them with fish, shells, rocks, nets and rubbish to make it look like pollution, over fishing, oil spills, reef walking and sunscreen falling of tourists and poisoning the coral. We have based these dioramas on The Threats To the Great Barrier Reef. We hope you enjoy looking at them.

Out The Front of Room 2's Garden

Room 2 have decided to create a garden out the front of Room 2. We voted for the top three and then got Miss Small to choose the best one. The winning one is a palm garden with shrubs around the edge, three seats around the edge with two palms for shade and an umbrella in the middle for more shade and then turf for the ground. We started planning the other day and are trying to figure out all the prices of our things. We are going to try use as many reused things we can to be environmentally friendly. We are excited for the finishing product.

Grace S and Grace L Anne Wryill

On Monday, in sign language week a deaf lady called, Anne Wyrill from the New Zealand Deaf organization came in to teach us sign language. We learnt the song “Old MacDonald” and the colours red, blue, white, green, yellow and black. We also learnt love, like, don’t like and the animals pig, dog, cow, sheep, chicken and horse. We learnt the alphabet and the vowels. For the vowels you point to the five fingers on your left hand and you point with your right hand. If you Google Sign language N.Z there will be lots of websites to look at.

Our Carbon Footprints

We traced our feet onto pieces of paper and drew around them. The theme for our cut out feet was Kiwiana. Here is a picture of one of our footprints. We did footprints because our study for the whole year is “Our Carbon Footprints”. These footprints are now around our classroom to remind us of our study. Room 2.
