Water safety lessons as part of EOTC week.

When the year 3 students did water safety at the pool we were learning about ways to save people . Here are some pictures to show what we have been learning.

The year 2 students were looking at the New Zealand bush, the trees, the insects and the birds. This is their art work put together on our wall:

From Garden to Table

So first Esther was cutting potatoes in half and I cut the thyme, silverbeet, and spinach all into small pieces. By Keshavee

When I was cutting the onion my eyes were crying and they told me not to cry. By Esther 

Next I was cutting spring onions while Keshavee was cutting thyme.

Esther is cutting carrot as thick as a 50c piece. The carrots weren't coming out of the grater so we had to empty out the grater and start again.

Then we put 6 eggs in the pan and oops some shell went in. We added cheese, salt and pepper and then we tipped our chopped up vegges in. Then lastly we tipped in our herbs and we mixed it altogether with a spoon. We took turns.

We were scooping it in the fry pan. 

The other kids were making soup, bread with garlic and cheese and rhubarb and ginger slice. We had a wonderful morning, thank you Jeanne.

Baby ducklings.

In February Mrs Goundar brought her ducklings into school. We were lucky enough to be able to hold, and pat these little cuties. Mrs Gibbs got some photos of us with the ducklings:

The ducklings came into Room 2 with the girls from Room 3.The ducklings were really young and we each took turns holding them. Then they went back to Room 3. By Ysabella.

Today the ducklings came in a box with two girls. We each got turns to hold them. Their claws were tickling us.The ducklings were nice and soft. By Youssef.

Working together cooperatively in Room 2.

In Room 2 we focus on working together cooperatively, even when we are doing independent activities.   Here Ehan, Fateh and Joshua are building together.

These students are working in a bigger group to create their designs. Shiv, Alana, Maira, Nicole and  Zainab are working together with the Mobilo.

Keshavee and Daria are busy using Lego together.

Buster, Amina and Jerokane are busy constructing with the blocks by sharing and talking about what they were doing.

Then we got into our year groups at the stadium and the sports began.
