Beach Education

We have been learning a few games that we can play for our Beach Day at Pt Chev beach.

Making Muffins

We had fun making some banana and chocolate muffins.  This was before they were cooked. They were delicious. So much so that the leftover mysteriously disappeared.

Mazes and bees

This week we used the context of bees finding pollen in a maze to practice computational thinking. Computational thinking in Year 2 is giving instructions.

The students gave directions for the bee to move through the maze collecting pollen on the way. They had to be careful to give clear and precise instructions. Many students had trouble remembering which way was left and which way was right!

I was very proud of the students and how they perserved.  If they made a mistake with the directions they went back to fix up their instructions.

Certificates & Discovery

Well done to Rafin who got the class Manawanuitanga certificate at assembly today. Also congratulations to Luke whose ticket was chosen out of the Rimu box.

At Discovery Time today we did some Rongoli patterns with chalk for Diwali and made some storage boxes and other arts and crafts.

Orchestras and athletics Term 4 Week 2

What an exciting Monday.  We started off with an amazing performance from the Clarence High School Band from Australia.

We were treated to songs such as September by Earth, Wind and Fire, the Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sweet Child of Mine by Guns and Roses, Star Wars and Dr Who. To finish we had a revised version of Cinderella with fantastic musical accompaniment.





In the afternoon the Rimu team started our Athletics practice and  we thoroughly enjoyed trying out the different activities.
