Robyn Belton visited our school last week. She illustrates books like Greedy Cat and Herbert.
She told us how she gets her ideas from real things - like Katie in Greedy Cat was based on her daughter or how she visited the place where Herbert fell into the sea in the sounds. She drew a picture for us. It was amazing.

Junior kiwi sports

On Thursday the juniors went to kiwi sports for fun and exercise. We looked like a green caterpillar walking . There were lots of poeple and games there. It was fun and nobody got lost. When the bell rang it was just like school but there were too many lunchtimes and morningteas. There were obstacle courses and dancing and skipping. It was awesome.

Welcome to 2010

Hi, what a fantastic start to the year. We are a Year 2 class with 21 children.
We are busy swimming and getting to know each other. This week we are leading school assembly.

STICKY ICE SCIENCE

Put an ice cube in a glass full of water. Put wool on top and sprinkle salt on it.
After about two minutes it stuck to the ice cube and we could lift it up by the wool.
The wool sticks onto the ice cube because the salt melts the ice and then it freezes a bit.

STICKY ICE SCIENCE

In Room 2 we have being scientists doing sticky ice experiments. We used salt,ice,water and wool to make an icy string experiment. We got a ice cube and a piece of wool. We made the wool stick to the ice. We could pick it up without touching it.We found out that salt melted the ice cube and it shrunk quicker.
Sophie and Jessica have been making most of it for discovery time today! Our science was cool and Room 2 thought it was cool too.

Rally Cars

Today the rally cars came to school. They told us about their selves and when they were at school. After we went outside we got their autographs and we went in the rally car.

KEEP OUT BUILDING SITE !!!

Our school is getting two new class rooms that are being built. They are going to be Room 12 and 13. The builders are getting up on the top of it to put the floor on . We watched them dig up the holes at the start. They had to move the P.E shed, so they could put the class rooms in. They put a fence around what they had been doing! They had a staple gun.

The stick insect

On Monday Lucy brought a humongous stick insect to school. It had little Spiky bits on his back. He had a name, his name Sticky. Lucy called him sticky because his feet were sticky. When he crawls up you it tickles a little bit. It eats lots of green leaves even the end of carrots. Lucy brought him in a container full of branches and leaves.

Ronald McDonald

Today Ronald McDonald came to school, he was teaching us road safety rules in the hall. He told us to look for sneaky drive ways incase a car was coming out of a drive way. Ronald McDonald taught us a song called "make it click", it had actions with it. There was a story to go with the road safety rules. There was a sock that got lost in the wind but all the time it was on his back, then Marcus tugged the sock off Ronald McDonald back. At the start he tried to keep the story stand up but he hadn't connected the corners up together.

Player of the day

Here are 2 of our keen sports children. Both Jessica and Harlyn were player of the day in rugby recently.

Barrier games

We are learning how to listen carefully to instructions and to give clear instructions.
We give instructions to our partner about how to dress the clown. Our partner has to listen carefully and choose the correct piece without looking. Our clowns should be the same when we remove the barrier.

Fancy Dress Friday

To celebrate our Fairy Tales unit and book week we all dressed up as a book character. Can you work out who we are? Everyone looks amazing.
