Constable Debby visits Room 1 & 2

Constable Debby came to visit us to talk about making good choices as part of our Kia Kaha topic. We learnt about using our WITS when we have a problem with someone- we can walk away, ignore, talk about it, seek help. We never solve a problem by using our hands or feet. We listened to some stories about some people who made bad choices and we thought of ways they could help so they turned the bad choices into good choices. It was awesome having Constable Debby visit. We loved her uniform and she was so friendly!

Butterfly magic....

Our very hungry caterpillars have had their sleep and on Sunday while Mrs Kearns was busy in her office she noticed something magical.  The butterflies emerged from their chrysalis and spread their wings.  They were wondering where all the room 2 stars were... so they stretched their wings and flew away.... We've been spotting butterflies in the playground! I bet they'll come back to see us!

Well done Zac! Zac got a certificate from Mr Simpson in assembly.  He has been showing some great skills during swimming and his confidence grows each swimming time!

Reporter News Ryder and Jordan

This week Ryder and Jordan shared their news. Ryder showed us his Iron Man. He talked to us and we all wanted to play with him. We then all put on Iron Man voices.  Jordan showed us his amazing transporter Lego that he got for his birthday.  Jordan is a Lego expert and he loves it. We liked how the doors opened and the plane could fly off the truck. Brilliant reports today Ryder and Jordan!

The Sea Week Parade

Sea Week Extravaganza- The Parade

This week was Sea Week. We ended the week with an amazing dress up day and a parade.  We had scary sharks, mermaids and even the whole ocean. We kept losing Mitchell as he was always camouflaged!  We danced in a parade showing everyone how amazing we looked. It was heaps of fun!

Room 2s pets

Today we were very excited. Our very hungry caterpillar had turned into a crysalis and now we can see its turning into a butterfly.  The wings are looking amazing.  We hope they last until Monday!

Room 2 takes a trip to Belfast Kindy

We had a great time visiting our friends at kindy. We met up with old friends, explored all the exciting things at kindy and  we met up with our friends who are starting school soon. We loved playing in the tree house, on the bars and swings.  There was so much to do! We're looking forward to having the kindy kids coming to visit us! We can't wait for Monique, Maria and Levi to start in Room 2 too!

Sea Week Fun

This week we read a book called "What the tides brings in". Karen, one of our amazing teacher aides who loves visiting Room 2,  brought some of her ocean treasures to show us. We listened to the ocean with her shells and investigated some precious shells too- we looked at paua shells, an amazing conch and lots of pretty shells. They were beautiful! Thanks Karen! They made our story come alive!!!!!!
