Respect, responsibility and Honesty

Room 2 has been learning about our school rules. Here are some photos of children in room 2 showing respect and responsibility.

Room 2 Developmental Maths- VOLUME

Room 2 has been learning about volume. In these photos we have been finding out which lunch box will hold the most fruit.

Swimming!

Hi All,

Swimming starts next monday! I cant wait to take you all in the pool to learn how to blow bubbles, put our heads under the water and float.

Please make sure you do not wear your swimmers under your school uniform as we do not leave until 1pm.

Also, I will be looking for parent volunteers so if you have time on your hands and would like to help room 2 then please come and see me.

Cheers

Miss Chambers

Discovery time- Jewellry making

Another exciting Discovery time... the children made jewellry using beads! There were fantastic conversations about colours, shapes and patterns as the children made rings, necklaces, and bracelets.

Manix made a beautiful bracelet for his little sister's birthday present.

Sieni made a beautiful necklace which she was very excited to show her parents.

Theanim was very proud of his beautiful necklace that he was making for his Nan.

Here is Michiah and Ivysha making bracelets.

Here is Te Ariki making a necklace

Inquiry- Sleeping beauty

Room 2 and Room 4 getting into crown making as part of their inquiry into the costumes needed for our school production of Sleeping Beauty.

After choosing the colour of their crown, the children then needed to decide on what decorations a princesses crown would have!

Discovery time- Streets

Theanim, Ivysha and Darren moving their cars around the streets.

Tehoia, TeAriki, Tyler and Josh building houses around the street map.

Room 2 students making cars out of boxes.

Jade, Josh and Darren drawing streets using chalk to make streets for their cars.


On Monday 23rd May, Room 2 looked at the theme of STREETS for Discovery time. Some children made cars, some built houses on the street map, and some made their own streets using chalk... This was a lot of fun and it provoked a lot of talk about road rules!

Discovery time- Construction/Dwellings

This is Pepe Joshua constructing a house.

This is Tyler building a bird house. Tyler was waiting for the bird to arrive and when it did arrive, he had a lovely bed ready and a perch for the bird to sit on.

Forde became a builder for the afternoon and was very good at using a hammer.

Tayla created a house with the help of Tehoia. The house had bedrooms, a kitchen and even a toilet!

Manix is showing his patterning skills!

Sootie, TeAriki and Jade made a fabulous house and spaceships.

Today in discovery time room 2 looked at construction. We talked about what different houses look like and who would live in the different houses. The children were given boxes, paddle pop sticks, match sticks, timber, blocks, play hammers and saws, and lego. Here are some photos of the different dwellings the children made. The children were learning to share during this discovery time as this was an area of need due to new children starting and other children moving on to Room 4. They did a terrific job of sharing, especially on the blocks table where there were only two hammers and one saw to play with.
