Aspirations

"If it's meant to be, it begins with me!"

Two of our focus words this term are 'Aspiration' and 'Inspiration'

Below is a movie Room 2 made about what they aspire to be... 


WELCOME TO ROOM 2

WOW the start of the term has absolutely flown by! 

Miss Elliott and Room 2 can't believe that it's already the end of week 6!

Below is a snippet of a catchup through photos of what we have been up to... Bring on 2013!

We have had Butterfly plants in our class this term - First we needed
to put them outside so the butterfly could lay eggs!
The eggs were tiny!! We had fun looking at them every day to
see if they had hatched. 
They were TINY when they first hatched
But soon they grew!



Beautiful Butterfly

Watching the butterfly on the plant


We have been learning out body parts


We painted one side of the paper, then folded it over to make butterflies! 





Number twister is SO MUCH fun!



Room 2 with Quentin The Bear, otherwise known as Q.T Bear.
He has been helping us go through the 'Skills for Growing' program. 

Hope liked going to the dentist with our small Q.T Bear



We had the DUFFY assembly! It was AWESOME




We all wanted to be a part of it onstage!

Until next time... BYE from Room 2

Congratulations to our parents who successfully completed the Reading Together Programme this year.


Eruption of Mt. Tongoriro

Yesterday Mt. Tongoriro exploded. No one knew because there was no warning. There were children from a school on the mountain when it exploded. They screamed and they were scared. they only saw ash clouds in the sky. the flights were cancelled. This means that if you are living in Mt. Tongoriro, you cannot go to other places. The eruption lasted for five minutes. The ash cloud was about 3 kilometers up in the sky.it was very dark and hot. Now we are not allowed near Mt. Tongoriro because it might explode again.

Eruption of Mt. Tongoriro

Yesterday, on 21st November, 2012, Mt. Tongoriro exploded and there was no warning. It went for 5 minutes. Some of the tourists were excited to see an active volcano. Everyone saw the ash cloud above Tongoriro which is near Mt. Ruapehu. The explosion went 2 to 3 kilometers into the sky and it has exploded twice in 2 months.

Eruption of Mt. Tongoriro

Yesterday Mt. Tongoriro exploded near Mt. Ruapehu. The volcano erupted and the ash cloud went about 2 to 3 kilometers up into the sky.At that time there was a group of school children on a trip. it erupted without any warning. No one was hurt but people were scared and were running to a safe place. We in Room 2 think that volcano eruptions can happen at any time without a warning.

Eruption of Mt. Tongoriro


Eruption of Mt. Tongoriro.

Yesterday on 21st November Mt. Tongoriro erupted in the clear blue sky. All that the people could see was a big ash cloud in the sky. The eruption lasted for five minutes. There was a group of school kids from an Intermediate school. One child cried out “Look” and everybody turned to see this huge cloud of black smoke. They were very scared. The smoke went up to about 3 kilometers in the sky so air flights were cancelled for low flying planes because the smoke will wreck the rotors on the plane. The people are warned not to go close to the mountain because it might erupt again. This shows us that we do we do not know enough about volcanic eruptions.

Making a compost bin



Mrs. Kelly bought a new compost bin for our school garden.

Metui and Falakiko assembled it. "It was hard work but we both enjoyed doing the job." they said.


Composting is fun







At the Beach

The Beach

 Once upon a time there were three boys called Falakiko, Siosifa and Demetrius. They asked their mum if they could go the beach. Their mum said "Yes". All the three boys swam in the beach. Suddenly, Falakiko saw Demetrius drowning. Demetrius was shouting out for help. Demetrius's Dad heard him. He ran to the Life Savers. Falakiko and Siosifa ran with the life savers where Demetrius was sinking down in the water. They quickly got Demetrius out and called 111. The ambulance people said that Demetrius was O.K. and did not need to go to the hospital. Demetrius said " Thank you Falakiko and Siosifa, You are heroes". Demetrius was very proud of his friends.

Narrative: The Garden door

The Garden Door

 I have a garden in my house.The garden has a door. One day my friend, James saw it accidently. Both of us opened it. There were spooky spiders. I said to my friend" Wait there is purple stuff on them". My friend said" It is poison". We tried to run back but the door was closed. My friend said" please don't say it is locked." "Yes" I said but there is a key on that baby spider's eggs." How do we get the key?" I said. "Kill all the spiders" said James. "How are we going to do it" I said. We took a big stick and killed all the spiders. Then we quickly took the key and opened the door. We ran back to our houses and went into our beds to sleep.
