Anzac Day

Our first week we have been looking at Anzac day, we have made some informational posters about the Anzac poppy, written diary entries and found out a lot of information about Anzac Day. Here's what we did, what did you do?
Check out our individual blogs for more information.

Whanaungatanga Event

This term our inquiry unit was whanaungatanga. Students in Room 2 got into groups and organised a whole school event with activities that promoted whanaungatanga within our school. Each group organised the activities and ran the event for groups of approximately 25 students.

There were a variety of different activities ranging from dance offs and chant competitions to chocolate river and water balloon dodgeball. Students were marked on how well they gave instructions, how clear their voice was and most importantly how well they reinforced positive behaviour with positive feedback.

Our next step would be to consistently model these positive behaviours in our school and look at ways to promote whanaungatanga in our community. We hope you enjoy our learning.

If you have time please check out students' individual blogs, they are on the left hand side of our class blog and have have more about what we are learning.

Room 2's Term 3 Cook Off!

We had to plan, budget, follow instructions and cook a feast! Each group had to provide and edible item, and made enough for everyone in the class to have 1 thing each. We ended up sampling Hamburgers, Pizza, Cupcakes, Ice-cream cookies, Baked stuffed apple crumble and delicious milkshakes! By the end of the day our puku's were very full!
