Beach Education was Awesome

We had the best day ever at Waimairi Beach! We learnt some amazing skills about how to be safe at the beach. NZ Surf Life Saving Guards taught us how to be safe. We know to swim between the flags, always swim with a friend and have an adult around, we have to know our limits and Slip, Slop, Slap, Wrap! It was heaps of fun going on the bus. We went to the surf Lifesaving Club house. We then went down to the beach and made sandcastles and played some beach games. The best part of the day was when we went for a swim. We jumped and swam in the waves. The weather was beautiful. Thanks to all the helpers who came along too!!!

Ashlyn is a teacher!

Every day someone gets to take over and be the teacher. The teacher for the day does our morning news board. They carefully choose children who are showing 5 by being respectful listeners who put up their hands...

Gingerbread fun!

We've been STORY TELLERS! We have been learning to tell the tales of the Gingerbread Man. Just like the little old lady we made our own gingerbread man. They were delicious and lucky for us not one ran away. We also been making puppet shows to tell the story. Madison even preformed it for us for Show and Tell. We've been writing about it too.

Our kindergarten friends

Room 2 love visiting the kindergarten. Once a month Room 2 goes next door to say hi to our friends at kindergarten.  We get to see some old friends and play. The home corner is a favourite and so is the sand pit. We also host a group from kindergarten.... it's great to catch up and share our learning!

Welcome! Welcome!

Room 2 is growing and we've got some new stars to add to our amazing class. Welcome Rubi, Mila, Xavier and Eilidh. It so exciting have them at school. We're making friends and learning lots of new things. We hope you love being in Room 2 and at Belfast School

Mason and Rubi get certificates

Well done to Mason and Rubi. Mason was awarded the first certificate for the year at our Junior & Lower Middle Assembly. Rubi  received hers last week at our Syndicate assembly. They were very proud and we are all impressed too!

Room 2 has a Treaty!

We are been learning about treaties. We learnt about the Treaty of Waitangi.  We have made our own class treaty with special rules everyone in Room 2 must understand and show. We also looked at koru designs in Visual Art. We talked about where we see koru shapes in the environment.  We can see them at the beach and in ferns. We spotted them in the class on our class whare wall. Ava said that she's seen koru on a moko...
Have a look at us being artists in action!! Ka pai tamakiri!
