Daffodil Day

Today it was Daffodil Day.

Daffodil Day is all about people who are sick and have Cancer (Isla).

We wore yellow clothes to school and we also got a yellow daffodil to wear on our t-shirts. We looked great in our yellow!

We brought some money to school for the sick people and we put it on the big daffodil. The money goes to the sick people to help them get better. SPS raised $700!!

Some of us wrote about Daffodil Day, and we will take some photos of our stories and put them on our blog very soon!

Term 3 so far!

Term 3

We have had a busy term so far doing lots of learning! Here are just a few of the things we have been up to!

Inquiry

In inquiry we have been learning about things being unfair and fair (Emmanuel).

We read a story about the Sneetches. The Sneetches were sad because they didn't have stars on their bellies, and the sneetches with stars left the others out. 

We learnt that it doesn't matter if you have stars or not (Abi).

It was fun learning about the Sneetches (Deijah).

Maths

This term, on Fridays at Maths time we are doing problem solving. We have been learning about geometry which is all about shapes and patterns.

A square has 4 sides (Samiu).

A triangle has 3 sides (Christiaan).

A circle has 1 line (Isla).

We put the little shapes and big shapes in patterns. Me and Siah were buddies (Deijah).

Then we had to look at our patterns and draw them (Pauline).

Planting an apple tree

We had a special lesson with Bob. We helped him plant an apple tree.

Then we wrote some stories about planting the apple tree with Bob. Here are some for you to read.

Art with Whaea Dagmar

We had a super fun art lesson with Whaea Dagmar. 

She showed us some pictures of people that Joan Miro had made, and then we drew and painted our own !

We are really proud of our artwork, thanks Whaea Dagmar!

Chefs visit SPS!

Last Friday we had some chefs visit us and they brought us some food! They showed us how to make a wrap and some granola, and then we got to eat our own!

The wrap was crunchy and yummy. The granola was sweet.

We loved having the chefs come to Room 2!

Thank you Chefs!

Room 2s Assembly!

Room 2s Assembly

At the end of last term, we led our own assembly!

It was really really cool! We loved being up on stage!

We did a dance about food groups and we showed our food group artwork. We had lots of fun!

We were brave and we spoke in the microphone.

We had some wonderful senior students who were our helpers and presented the sports awards and current events for us. Thank you!!

We also did the school haka which the amazing Room 14 taught us, and we sang the National Anthem.

We sat nicely on the stage and showed how awesome Room 2 is. We had so much fun doing assembly and it was great to see so many of our Mums and Dad's there to watch us!

Watch this space to see what we get up to in Term 3!

Food Revolution Day!

FOOD REVOLUTION DAY!!!

In Inquiry, We've been learning about healthy food and unhealthy food.

 Last Friday we had Food Revolution Day!! We watched a video of Jamie Oliver and he showed us how to make a sandwich. Then we made one ourselves!

First we smashed and squashed some fruit and vegetables with a rolling pin.

Next we put some dressing on the smashed up food. 

Then we spread hummus on the bread.

We put the smashed up fruit and vegetables on the bread, with some cheese, seeds, and salad cress.

Our sandwich was done!

Here is what we thought of our sandwiches......

It was yum (Abi)

It was crunchy (Samiu)

It was munchy (Pauline)

It was sweet (Hannah)

It was good (Ky-Mani)

I felt happy because it was fun and great (Corjzae)

It's good to taste different food. If you just try it you might like it, but if you don't that's OK (Deijah)

Thanks for having a look at out blog!
