Jubilee Preparations

In Room 2 we have been working hard to have our classroom ready for our Jubilee later on this week. We made some stained glass window tile art which we showed off in assembly last Friday, and is now covering our windows making them all nice and bright. Here are a few of us with our tiles!

We also have finished our bookmark souvenirs. There will be 1 free bookmark for the first 40 grown-ups that visit Room 2 during the Jubilee. Be in quick to get one!

Speeches

On Friday 30th of August, Jonathan represented Room 2 on our school speech finals. He wrote a very informative speech about bullying. Today in assembly Jonathan was presented with a certificate to acknowledge his place in our finals, and here he is holding up his award. Congratulations Jonathan!

Our Jubilee Posters

In Room 2 we have been learning to create jubilee posters. This is a picture of us holding our pictures, with our beautiful smiles :) 

Puppet Pals: The Girl who lived happily ever after

As part of our reading tumble, we have been learning to think quickly and use our imaginations by creating stories using an ipad app called 'Puppet Pals'. It's so much fun because we can use lots of different pictures and backgrounds to help us tell a story. It helps us to quickly come up with ideas and conversations without thinking too long before starting! Here is a story that Hala came up with all by himself.

Stage 5 Maths

In our Stage 5 maths group, we have been learning to solve multiplication problems by taking some off or putting some on (the 'compensation' strategy).

Here is a video of Gloria explaining how we have been doing this!


Thanks for helping us learn, Gloria!

Jubilee Bookmarks

In room 2 we are preparing for our 60th Jubilee and we are designing bookmarks to give away to visitors as souvenirs. Here is a picture of us working hard designing our bookmarks. If you are coming to our Jubilee you might be given one!

Kelston Girls' College Sports Visits

Over the past 4 weeks girls from Kelston Girls' College have been coming in to teach us some games.
Every Monday morning from 9:30 - 10:30 we have been in class teams and have been paired up with some of the visiting girls. We have been playing games like 'Pukana', 'Touch', and lots and lots of warm-up and fun activity games. Since today was our last day with them, some of us got special rewards (lollipops!)
Thank you Kelston Girls!
