Welcome to Term 4!

Welcome back to school Room 2! I hope you've had a wonderful holiday and are ready for a super busy, super fun term!
See you all on Tuesday and remember to bring you sunhats!

Happy 100 Days!

Everyday in Room 2 we cross one day off our 100s board and at the end of term 3 we reached 100 days! 100 days is a fun part of our morning routine. We are learning to count to 100 in 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s and are also learning a little bit about place value. We've decided that 100 days is so much fun that we're going to keep going and are now up to day 103!
Have a look at our fun 100 days photos.

Who am I?

Last week Room 2 wrote Who am I? stories. Today we found a Who am I? game on the Department of Conservation website.

How many animals can you guess?

Who am I?

Conservation Week Beach Clean Up

Last week was Conservation Week, so Room 2 and the other junior classes headed down to the beach to have a bit of a clean up. We did a great job and found heaps of litter to pick up.
We have also been trying really hard to keep our school clean and tidy. We have been learning that paper goes in the green bin, food scraps go in the red bin and all the other rubbish goes in the blue bin.

Rainbow Fish Calendar Art

Room 2 have been very busy creating beautiful Rainbow Fish for the Muritai School calendar fundraiser. Our lovely artwork can be made into greeting cards, diaries and calendars and can be ordered at the office until the 23rd of September.

Welcome to Term 3!

Welcome back to school, I hope you had a fantastic holiday! We've been very busy in Room 2 this week and are back into the swing of learning already.

Today the children brought home their new Maths Basic Facts Carriages. (They're like Reading Rockets, but for Maths) Further information can be found on the inside cover of the booklet.
Basic Facts Carriages will be sent home on Monday and tested on Friday.
Reading Rockets can be tested on any day from Monday to Thursday.

Jumping Frogs

In Room 2 at the moment we are learning all about electricity. Today we made static electricity by rubbing balloons against our hair. We then used the static electricity on our balloons to pick up our little green frogs, they were jumping all over the place!
