100 Days Party!

On Friday 25th July we celebrated 100 Days of learning. Rooms 1 and 2 have been counting every school day since the beginning of the year and we celebrated together by completing lots of different activities involving the number 100. Check out the photos below of us celebrating being 100 days smarter!

Welcome back for Term 3!

Room 2 are excited to welcome five students who have moved up from Room 1. We look forward to having lots of fun learning experiences together.

Welcome to Latesha, Hunter, Liam, Lexi and Zaria!

Welcome Miss Reissmann

Room 2 were very lucky to have Helga Reissmann in our class for weeks 8 and 9 of Term 2. Helga is a first year student teacher who has been doing observations and helping in Room 2. We have enjoyed having her with us.

Medieval Day

Rooms 1, 2 and 3 enjoyed doing discovery activities on Medieval Day last Friday. We made crowns, princess hats, stained glass windows, knights helms, war banners, and built castles with lego and blocks. William's Dad, Craig, came and talked to us about what a common man would have worn when he went to war. Check out the photos below to see some of our great costumes and activities.

Perceptual Motor Programme

During Term 2 every Tuesday and Wednesday morning Room 1 and Room 2 are doing the perceptual motor programme (PMP or PUMP) which is a programme designed to help children with their fine motor and gross motor skills. We have some wonderful parent volunteers helping us to run groups through the different activities. Check out the photos below to see the great fun Room 2 had this morning.

Phonics Read- Alongs

Below are some links to the Fantastic Phonics read along YouTube stories. Room 2 have looked at these in class after lessons on CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words. Have fun reading these at home.

Multi-coloured Mayhem Day

On Wednesday 2nd April the School Council held a Multi-coloured Mufti Day to raise awareness of Autism and to celebrate the differences of people with Autism. Students brought a gold coin donation which goes to Autism NZ.

The students in Room 2 wrote about their day. Below are a few of their recounts.

Georgia M.- We are having a charity for Autism. We are having a mufti day. We get to dress up in anything that you want. It has to be colourful and bright, it could be red or green. You had to dress up as colourful as you can make it. But you have to bring some money.

Blaze- Mrs Bowen was very funny and Amelia was very funny in her hat and her red nose. Mr Fitz's wig was very funny too.

Austin- I like Amelia's hat and her red nose.
