Welcome to 2012 in Room Two

We have been so busy this term in Room Two. Check out some of the things we have been up to.

Room 2 visit to Hira Kindergarten




Last week Room 2 went to visit all the children at Hira Kindergarten. We performed our plays and had lots of fun doing many of the activities we remember from our time at Kindergarten, including playing on the swing, joining in at mat time and building together on the outside play house.

Sewing with Melissa


We made some paper mache babies with Melissa. We have painted them and now we are using the sewing machines to make clothes for them. It is quite tricky but lots of fun.

Pottery with Clare Haig & Ross Richards



Clare Haig and a local potter Ross Richards showed us how to mould and make things with clay. First we made an animal and then we made a pot. When they had dried we painted them with coloured slip. Ross is going to fire them in his kiln.

Life Education Bus with Harold




Victoria brought Harold to visit and we learnt about the circulatory system. Eva is showing us where our lungs are. Ebbany is showing us how big the heart is and Louis is showing us the lungs on Tam.

Observatory with Paul Fisher



Paul Fisher explained to us about the planets in our solar system. This was really interesting because we learnt about the Transit of Venus which happened on 6th June. Unfortunately the bad weather meant that we couldn't watch it but we learnt a lot online.

Fundamental Skills



Each week Helen Clark our Sports Coordinator spends time with all the classes teaching them fundamental skills. This week we learnt a few rugby techniques. Chani and Krystel helped us play a new game whilst Caden learnt some dodging skills. After that we played some games together.
