Term 2 Week 3

Term 2 Week 3

Although it may have been wet this week that hasn't stopped the learning in the Year 2 Space!

We enjoyed having some parents visit us to see what we do in the 'Spaces in Action' time on Tuesday! 

They got to see the hard work we get up to at Daily 5 time.

We have started our new Daily 3 in maths and also have had an introduction to Geometry. We have looked at how to say some shapes in Te Reo I wonder if any of us can teach someone at home what a Tapatoru, Tapawha and a Porohita is?

We were lucky enough to have Bobby Hira (Kaci's sister) in to teach us how to perform Maori dances to help us with our Dance Inquiry this term, here are some pictures of us in action:

Reminder:

Naming Coats - As the weather is getting colder and wetter we have seen more coats coming to school. Please ensure that these are named clearly so we can get them back to the right person at the end of the day.

Containers with Lids - sick of all those pesky containers with lids at home? Year 2 is looking for some storage containers to put small beads in. If you have any at home that you think will be suitable please bring them to school and give them to a teacher.

Looking Ahead - Next week we look forward to having Jo CB in on Tuesday, until lunch, as Carl is on ICT release and Wednesday to cover his Lead Teacher release. We also look forward to having Gillian Hardy in on Thursday until lunch to cover his CRT.

Please Help at the Trash Lab!

The Thorrington Trash Lab is a magical place for our kids to play at lunchtimes, but in order to open each day, we need  parent helpers.

Just one or two lunchtimes per term is all it takes.

What Trash Lab Helpers Do

Sign in at the office at 12.30pm, partially unload the shed so it's ready for play to start at 12.45pm, monitor the play until 1.20pm, then help the kids get the gear back into the shed by 1.30pm.

And that's it.  Preschoolers are welcome.

If you're willing to help, please email sharonmanson@hotmail.com

Thank you

The Trash Lab Team
