Being Respectful: Santa Sends a Parcel!

We had a special delivery from Santa! We opened it and found a letter and Twinkle the Elf. Twinkle has been sent by Santa to watch over our classroom. Every night Twinkle goes back to the North Pole to report to Santa what Room 2 have been up to. We think he is a bit of a cheeky elf and that he may get up to mischief. Twinkle has a special key so he can get in and out of our classroom when we are not here. We are looking forward to the adventures he may have!

Being A Learner: Visiting Orana Park

Last Wednesday Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 all went to Orana Park.  We went by bus and we went as part of our Inquiry Learning.  It was great to be able to make real connections with our learning.  When we got to Orana Park we split into five groups and a Zoo School teacher took us around the Park.  Some highlights were seeing tigers and lions close up, feeding the giraffes and seeing the gorillas.   We saw lots of different animals in real life and it was amazing to see the size in real life.  

Here are some photos from our day.

Being a Learner: Taking Risks at Discovery

In Discovery today we made Fruit Cones and enjoyed them in a big circle on the mat. We had lovely chats with each other about our day. Discovery Time is a great time to explore things we don't normally do in class. It is great fun!

Being a Learner: Fabric and Fibre Art

We have been working so hard to complete our sewing creations. We have made Monsters, Owls and Dinosaurs. To make our creations we learnt the running stitch. Take a look at what some of our Room 2 Learners have made!
