Teach Me Tuesday

Every Tuesday Mrs Kearns hands over her teaching wand and someone teaches us something amazing. We are learning so much!

 Indie taught us to make a Lego playground. We loved the lights and the tiny piano. 

Levi taught us all to play Tiddlewinks- it was hard!

Connor is a Marvel Avengers expert and brought in his awesome collection. 

Monique taught us some science and we made balloon rockets. One went as high as the Junior Learning Center.

Maths Week Fun

Room 2 had such a great time during Maths Week. We had a fabulous time with the House of Bricks doing maths Lego challenges.

Indie was the winner!!

Scientists in the kitchen!

We made jelly to experiment with heating and cooling. We learnt to make the jelly we needed BOILING water to turn the solid jelly crystals in to liquid and then we needed a fridge to COOL the jelly liquid into solid jelly. The best part was testing how it tasted. We love doing experiments!!

We're creative!

Everyone in Room 2 loves making things. Solarah, Mitchell and Amman made things from Lego and shared them with the class. We thought they were awesome. At Discovery, Levi did some building with Kevin. We were so proud of their creations!

Reading Stars

Connor and Levi worked so hard during reading time today. The were able to match up all the lower  case letters with their capital letter. We were so proud at how hard they persisted with the activity. Ka pai!

Our first school trip!!

One rainy Monday a bunch of very excited explorers took a trip to the Canterbury Museum. They travelled in style... a bendy bus that stretched right down the road.  The explorers discovered interesting things- dinosaur bones, tarantulas, Early Maori artifacts,  a movie about a Paua shell house, amazing birds and so much more.... the explorers had fantastic parent help to lead them the way. The explorer's teacher was so impressed by the questions that were asked and manners that the explorers had... they discovered so much!!!!

My legs are almost long enough!

The bus ride was awesome. We got to go on a bendy bus.

Levi spied a tarantula in the Discovery Room

We can be dinosaurs too

Wow! Look at all the butterflies

Easter fun!!!
