MOTAT trip

On Wednesday room 2 went to MOTAT. We got to look at some really awesome things. We learnt a lot about how life was in the past. This helped us to see how technology has changed overtime.

Kelly Tarltons trip!

We were lucky enough to go on a trip to Kelly Tarltons last week. We got to see lots of animals that live under the sea. Here are some photos of what we saw.

Leon-Lebron loved seeing the Jellyfish, they looked like they were glowing!

The stingray came so close to the glass that Carla got a fright!

Abraham loved the starfish because of all the colours. 

Can you spot the young fluffy penguin?

Look at this huge shark! It was so big we could all fit inside its mouth!

The Start of Week 3 of Term 1

It's amazing how many photos can be taken in  a day!

Today we have been beginning to look at how we take a good photo (and video) with an iPad, when Mrs Vercoe looked through them she was amazed at all the ones that were blog quality!!!

Great team work here!! Terell and Leon-Lebron worked together to order  sentence.

Mrs Vercoe was very proud of Michael getting his work done all on his own!

Well done Abraham! He can put a sentence in order.

Dziah hard at work!

Lopiseni worked so hard and quietly that Mrs Vercoe was very impressed when he told her that he was finished!

Today Terell and his reading group were learning the word 'come'.

We finished our art so quickly that we even had some time to go into the music room for a short music lesson. Mrs Vercoe is very proud of us because we always have our best listening ears on the the music room!

Welcome Abraham!

 With Waitangi day on Thursday, last week zoomed by!
We have been looking at Hauora, and part of that is learning about ourselves. We have been learning how to do self portraits (Mrs Vercoe thinks we're pretty good!) and we're now ready to paint some to display!

Terell working hard to make his coloured background.

Leon-Lebron knows that we need to make the colours bold.

What wonderful artists!

Everyone is awesome at working together and sharing.

Carla is very good at using a paintbrush!
