Room 2 have been reading the shared book "The Giant's Ice-Cream."  We enjoyed this story very much and the pictures of ice-cream always made us feel like eating ice-cream.  On Friday we did make our own ice-cream sundaes and we wrote some stories  about them.  Have a read.

Sports with the YMCA.  Room 2 have been lucky to have two YMCA sports educators to take us for ball skills.  At the moment we are doing soccer skills. 

If we hit the cones while dribbling our soccer ball they made us do press-ups.  We like playing soccer.

We don't like press-ups.

Room 2 looked at and wondered about this picture.  This is what we said:
Tuiva - I can see a gorilla looking at the book.
Troy - The gorilla's got feet and toes.
Tyreese - The gorilla is reading.
Keanu - He is reading a book.
Tennisa - I can see the ears.
Max - It looks like he is looking at a monitor.
Pariz - It's looking at the book.
Oshay - Maybe the gorilla's playing a game.
Tuiva - He has yellow on his hair.  you can see his tongue because his mouth is open.
Tyreese - He's thinking because he is playing the game.
Oshay - Maybe he needs help.
Jor-El - I was wondering if he is going to book it.
Oshay - Some gorillas are hard and attack people.
Max - Maybe he's reading in a zoo.
Jor-El - He's looking at it and wondering what it is.
Oshay - I think the gorilla is playing a game and it's purple i board.

The Kowhai team have been making korowai cloaks and will be having a parade to celebrate Matariki.  We looked at many different patterns and designs and spent a busy day making our own cloaks.  They look beautiful Room 2.

Handwriting

 We are very lucky to have a smartboard in our classroom and we use it everyday.  Here we are doing our calendar.

This term the Board of Trustees generously gave us some notebooks to use in our classroom.  We are beginning to get familiar with them.  These computers will be used to help us with our regular curriculum learning.
