Ordering numbers

The red circles are learning to order numbers in maths.

We can use these to then find out what comes before and after different numbers.

Bubble Art

We made some bubble art to go with our wonderful writing all about the amazing Science in a van visitors. 

They taught us about mixtures!

Here is some picture of us creating our bubble art...

Jolly Phonics - 'ng' sound

Today the Jolly Phonics sound that one of our groups focused on was 'ng'.

We did some dictation and wrote lots of words that have the 'ng' sound in them.

We are also working hard to form our letters correctly.

Look at all the words we could write!

Week 7 with Hinni Hero

Hinni Hero is getting so tired from doing so much learning and having such a busy week in Room 2! Have a look at what Hinni Hero got up to with Room 2's VIP's...

Hinni hero was learning some songs with the Junior Syndicate, he read lots of poems, listened to some table tunes on Mathletics, found some words in poems and even went to Cross Country at the end of the week!

Make sure you check back in Week 8 to see some more adventures!

We are learning to identify numbers

We love playing the fly swat game to help us identify numbers.

 We are put in two different teams and Miss Brown calls out a number. It is a race to swat the number first.
We are getting really good at quickly finding numbers. Some of us can identify numbers up to 100!

Show some kindness

This week our Hinni kid value is kindness/manaakitanga. Mr Mac showed us a video to help us learn about kindness.

We talked about how we show kindness to others and wrote some stories about this.

I show kindness by helping Dad on the farm. By Luca

I show kindness because I play with Blake and I like Aiden and I show kindness becuase I play with Blake and I show kindness to Mum I give her huggles. By Aiden.

I show kindness if someone someone doesn't have someone to play with I will play with them. By Casey

I show kindness to my sister by smiling at her. By Chris

I show kindness when I let Hudson play with my toys. By Shepherd

We are all special

Our topic is Keeping Ourselves Safe. 

We talked about why we are special and unique a drew a picture to show this.

These are our wonderful pictures.

Te Reo Maori - Feelings

We are learning about feelings in Te Reo Maori and how to say them.
Today we learnt about four words:

• Pai - Good
• Hiakai - Hungry
• Mauiui - Sick
• Pouri - Sad

We matched these feelings to their words. 

Kei te pehea koe? - How are you feeling?

Mathletics winners!

This week Room 2 was the winning class for Mathletics at Hinuera School!

Everyone in Room 2 got their certificates.

Well done to Jennifer, Lachlan, Aiden and Corey who got silver certificates, and Emily for getting her very first mathletics certificate!

We love the library!

We love going to the library and looking at all the wonderful books.

Room 2 go to the library on Fridays.

In the library we are learning to choose a book we would like to look at. We can also find some words that we know in books.

We like to look at books with a friend.

We found a book with a monarch butterfly in.

At the end of our library time we like to listen to a story. 

What kind of books do you like to read?

Caterpillar Hunt!

As part of our "Creepy Crawlies' topic we are focusing on the life cycle of a butterfly.  

Today we went on a hunt to find caterpillars to observe what we could notice and to look at changes that we will start to see.

Here are some photos of the caterpillars that we found:
