Welcome to 2019

Welcome to Room 6 2019


It's been a mission to try and get a photo when everyone is here...

we may, or may not have succeeded!
We have 26 students in our class this year and welcome two new students and their families into our school.

Here we are doing some of our first Year 2 story writing.


We've also had lots of opportunities to be creative and make things during our Reading, Inquiry or Art time.

What a super bunch of students we have in our class!

Chinese New Year

Image
We had fun learning about  New Year celebrations in the Chinese culture. One of the activities was making a Chinese dragon. It involved colouring, cutting, lots of folding and attaching a pair of dragon leg handles. Of course, most of the dragons went home with the children but fortunately, a couple wanted  to stay at school for a while to go with our New Year display. We also have lots of lovely pink pigs and learnt to draw pigs with a very catchy little song because of course, this is the Year of the Pig.

Buddy Class

Today we met our buddy class for the first time. We are fortunate to be buddied up with a Year 8 class the senior leaders of our school. Today we just introduced ourselves and found out a little bit about each other. We will keep the same buddies for a few weeks so we get to know each other a little bit. I wonder how many of us will remember each other's names by next week?? We read a reading book to our big buddies then we shared our ideas of what it was to be a 'bucket filler.' We made a star or a heart to say what we could do to be a bucket filler in our class. Now we are making connections with older students we will recognise in the playground. They can help us if we have a problem. We can say "hello" to them when we see them on Road Patrol or in the Library. Our buddy might even be a world-famous presenter on MVTV and we will know who they are! Thanks for coming to visit us Miss Erceg and FLS How very cool

Welcome Back to Term 4

  Year 2 Newsletter     Term 4  2019 Thursday 17th October 2019 Dear Parents and Caregivers, It is lovely to see everyone back after the holidays and ready for another busy term. We have some terrific learning experiences planned, and the calendar is looking exciting already!  In our Inquiry, ‘We Care’, we will be focused on learning about wellbeing. Initially we will be developing the children’s understanding of the needs of animals and how to provide care for small animals. We will then draw the connection to our own needs and wellbeing. The children will investigate how to maintain a healthy body and mind. They will demonstrate their learning by creating a ‘pet rock’ and habitat; describing its needs and how they plan to care for it. We will have the Life Education mobile classroom visiting later in the term to complement our learning. Go to https://www.lifeeducation.org.nz/ for more information on the Life Education programme. We will be continuing a tradition
