Term 2 Reflection

As it is coming to the end of the term we are starting to reflect on our learning and achievements from term 2. 

We created a video each sharing something we are proud of or have worked hard on. 

Here is our video. 

St John Visit

 

Shape Scavenger Hunt

 Last week in maths we had a shape scavenger hunt. We had to choose 3-4 shapes that we knew and insert the shapes onto an explain everything project. Then we had to search around the classroom to find things that would fit into those shapes and take a photo of them. We found out that there are shapes everywhere around us. Have a look around where you are and see what shapes you can spot. 

Matific Challenge

 Thursday and Friday this week we are involved in a math challenge. 

We are competing against schools in NZ and Australia to get the most amount of stars on the Matific app. 

Yesterday we dressed up as monsters and worked really hard to get as many stars as we could. We had lots of people on the leaderboards and are currently holding 1st place out of all year 2 classes! 

Bring on another great day today!

Lets go Ruma Weka and Kaniere School! 

Cross Country 2021!

 Last week we competed in our school cross country. 

We had so much fun running through our fort and around our school.

Congratulations everyone who raced hard and who gained placings for their year group. 

Connecting To Tāne

On Friday we learnt about Tāne Mahuta and that he is the atua of the forest. We had a chance to see what it would be like to be Tāne for a little while. We chose a tree and stood or sat quietly at the trunk for a few minutes. We used our senses to imagine what he would be able to see, hear, smell and feel. Then we came back into class to draw a picture of our tree and write what we learnt. 

We loved being outside connecting with the environment for outside classroom day.

Creating a Character

 

We have been learning how to create a character for a story. We watched a video on Class Dojo about the Night Zookeeper. He taught us about what key details we need to include when introducing a new character. 

Here are our animals that we created to live in the night zoo.
