Drama

 We have been doing Drama in class. We decided to practise showing different kinds of expression. We practised showing our angry, excited, sad, surprised, terrified and tired faces. Then we talked about the sorts of things you would say if you were sad, excited or terrified. Have a look at our acting skills!

Plunket visit

Today we had the booster rooster from plunket visit us. She talked about why it is important for children to sit in a booster seat in the car. We also learnt about the safest place to sit in the car. 

Making tens

Wiremu's birthday cupcakes

 

It was Wiremu's birthday on Monday. Room 2 was very lucky because Wiremu and his Mum made some birthday cupcakes for us. They had pink and brown icing and sprinkles. They were red velvet flavoured. We thought they were delicious. Thank you Wiremu and Erin!

 

It was also Chloe's birthday on Sunday. On Monday morning we sang happy birthday to both Wiremu and Chloe. They are both 6 years old now.

 

We were very excited to try our cupcakes.

"mmmm" we said.

Here is a video of our class assembly that Hayden's Mum took for us. We were so excited to see our families who had come to watch us! We did such a great job remembering our lines and speaking into the microphone.

Traffic lights

 

Yesterday we went to play ball games with Mark. It was fun because we got to play Traffic Lights. We had to stop and put our foot on the ball when Mark said "red light." When he said "green light" we had to bounce the ball.

St. John visit

Today we had a visit from an Ambulance officer. She talked to us about the difference between the police, the fire service and the ambulance. We got to listen to the siren on the ambulance. Then we talked about when we would need to call 111. We had a practise of this. We learnt that it is important only to call 111 in a real emergency.

Computers at reading time

We have the school laptops on Thursday mornings at Reading time. We have been playing on sunshine online which has lots of games and activities to practise the alphabet and high frequency words. It also has lots of stories that the computer reads aloud and we can join in.
