We are all teachers and experts at something. On Fridays Mrs Kearns gets to step back and we get to take over. Miss Liliana taught us how to make sock puppets. She gave our gotchas to all those children who were listening carefully. 
Oh me hearties.... pirates and mermaids took over Room 2 in Pirate Week. We all had pirate names and we read pirate stories, did pirate maths to count our treasure, wrote Pirate Wanted descriptions and made pirate hats and ships. The highlight was our dress up day!!!
We loved celebrating Maori Language Week. We spent the week learning Te Reo. In Maths we were counting and adding in Te Reo. We entered a competition on Waiata Wednesday. We leant Ko Tangi te Kuri. It's one of our favourites. We like it because it's about all the animals we have been writing about in Story Telling. We versed Room 6 and made it through to verse Room 9. We were so super surprised to make through and perform it in Assembly. Pai Mahe Katoa!
Room 2 were amazing at learning and performing a poem or nursery rhyme. Each superstar stood up in front of the class and shared their poem. Everyone was brave and excited. Mrs Kearns found it so hard to select only two people we had to have a semi final with Room 1. Eilidh and Ryder were selected to represented Room 2. They did an amazing job at the Junior Poetry Competition. Eilidh performed Little Boy Blue and Ryder performed We see Leaves. They were awesome. We were all super proud when Ryder came third equal. Well done everyone- you were fabulous!!!
Room 2 loves getting outside and moving. We love our PE sessions. We do Sport once a week with Matt from the Belfast Rugby Club. We have also had a skills session with Canterbury Junior Cricket. We learnt about catching and throwing a ball. We played a game too. Logan from Canterbury Touch Rugby has taught us some handy tips for the up coming Touch Rugby season. We also love to celebrate our class mates awards and trophies from their weekend sport. 
We have loved celebrating Spring in Room 2. We have been learning about farms. In Story Telling we have learnt The Little Red Hen. We have learnt about growing crops and plants and the importance of helping each other. Mason brought in his pet lambs into our class. They felt soft and we heard the calling out to their mums. We celebrated Daffodil Day by wearing yellow and green. We have made Spring Art and learnt about daffodils and Spring blossoms. For House Colour Day we celebrated the change of season. We did lots of art and crafts and we sprung up and down with skipping ropes. 
We love to celebrate success! There is nothing more exciting than getting a certificate in Assembly. We get to take some time to celebrate a goal that's been achieved, someone who has learnt something new or when one of us shows that they have been caring and respectful learners. Have a look at a few of the amazing Room 2 stars who have received a certificate this term...
Learning to read is one of the most exciting things to learn at school. We read all sorts of different things in Room 2. We read poems, books, we retell our Story telling tales. We like to read with our Year 5/6 buddies, we read to each other and we can curl up with a book on a bean bag. We love our trips to the library each week too.
Everyone in Room 2 love being artists. We have learnt painting skills and drawing techniques. We are learning about collage and creating art pieces by layering paper and other materials.
