Year 2 Hub : September 2014

Room 20 sharing

Room 20 came to share their big book about pukekos with us.

We had a great afternoon out at our Commonwealth Games. We had some great activities. We got to do hurdles, blind marathon, and the obstacle course. It was so much fun. Thanks to all the parents who came to support us.

Our Pet Day Parade

We had an awesome time seeing all the animals that came to school today.

We show excellence!!!

We have been working really hard to show excellence and this week the whole class is all green. Well done Room 21. We have all been making good choices and have been on task all week!

Writing week

This week we did some amazing writing.

Our first stop drop and write was a shared story. We had to use the words snow, ice, cracking and sled.

The second story we had to use the words torture, scream, prisoner and crazy.

We wrote some acrostic poems. First we wrote one together about animals.

In groups we created one about Oaklands School.

Best Dressed!!

We had a secret vote in Room 21 today. We each wrote down 2 names that we thought had the best costume. The people who got the most votes were Bea who dressed as a Zebra from the book How the Zebra got his Stripes and Rose who was Angelina Ballerina. They got to go on stage. The whole class got to stand up and share their costumes with the school.

Poetry

We enjoy sharing our poetry together.
