Reading

Today one of our reading groups read a story called Dino in the Park.

 They got to choose who they wanted to read a story to.

Look at our wonderful reading and listening:

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!

Super Holiday Writing!

The children in Room 2 came back to school with lots to share.

They all wrote some amazing stories about their holidays.

Here are some super stories:

In the holidays I went to the beach. We saw some jelly fish and my little sister got stung by a jelly fish and we went too far. The rocks has little rock pools. They felt slippery.

By Emily

When I went to the sports shop we got a fishing line and a net. We used it to catch the rabbit. It was silver. It felt soft. We took it to the vet.

By Ben

In the school holidays I went to the beach. I played in the water. It was freezing and cold. It was very freezing and cold. I splashed and splashed and my clothes were very dirty.

By Corey

In the holidays I went horse riding. I got to brush her. Her name was Gypsy. I got to ride her. In the middle of the walk she wanted to have a drink but the lady made her walk again. She felt hot. She was cute. Her tail was like straw.

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!

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?
