The Santa Claus Show

The Santa Claus Show

On Thursday we went to the magical Pumphouse on a bus. We went there to watch the magical show, it was amazing. Kelly wanted lots and lots of presents. Holly just wanted a white balloon for the girl who did not get a balloon. My favourite part was when the balloons all fell down.

The Christmas Show

Yesterday room 2 went on a trip. We went to the Pumphouse Theatre. The show was made by Tim Bray. We went there by bus. It was like 100 degrees in the bus. The show we were watching was the Santa Claus show and it was hilarious. My favourite part was when the elf picked up the papers but the papers kept falling out of his arms.

The Santa Claus Show

On Thursday after morning tea we tucked in our shirts and we lined up outside for the bus. We were waiting to go to the Pumphouse! When we got to the Pumphouse we sat down on the chairs. At the start Elfy checked the list. The first rule was no electronics when the movie is on. Rule two is always sit down or you will get lost. Only stand up if your mum or teacher says you can stand up. My third favourite part was when Santa showed Kelly Santa's toy work shop.

Mitre 10 ad, remade by room 2

Room 2 had a lot of fun planning, preparing and shooting our movie. The first step was picking which ad we were going to remake. We did a vote and Mitre 10 won by 1 vote. After we decided on the Mitre 10 ad we watched it over and over again so that we were able to rewrite it. You might have noticed we have changed a few things... for the better we think. 

From everybody in room 2, we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Lost Shoes

Room 2 love poems. Every week we do a different poem. After losing a lot of shoes at school over the past week we decided a poem about losing shoes was a good idea. First Miss Pryde read us the poem. She sometimes reads it in a silly voice which we think is funny. Then Miss Pryde picks one child from each reading group to read the poem to the class. We get to pretend to be the teacher. After we have listened to the readers read the poem we make actions to the poem. We love making actions to the poems. This one was really funny. We took off our shoes and hid them for real. We pretended to look in the house, the car, the cupboards, and the shelves. We didn't find them there. We found them walking by themselves. Look at the videos below of us doing the actions to our poems. Hine-Sky and Sahara did a really good job of reading the poem. They were both very nervous. 

Fake Animals

This afternoon we created fake animals with Mrs Collins. We collaborated by taking turns drawing on other people's pictures to make funny and fake creatures. At the end, we created a name for our creature by mixing the animal names up.

Next Tuesday we will do the next step. Check back in to see what we get up to.

Fun at Flying Fives

Every Wednesday we go to Flying Fives. We love flying fives because we get to play with lots of cool things. We play in the kitchen, we build with lego or on the construction table, we play dress up, make puppet shows, create works of arts and sometimes we do activities. Today we were platting wool for our bags. It was hard for our little fingers but we had fun doing it anyway. Keep an eye on our blog to see what our bags look like when we have finished them.

Room 2 Smart Learners

This year we are learning to be 

Smart Learners 

in 

Cyber-Smart
  

Every Monday Mrs Collins from Manaiakalani comes and helps us with our learning on our iPads.  We  have learnt how to Hug-Hold, or have two hands on our iPads, when we are moving around and that the cover must be shut.  Our iPads do not need food or drink...and when we are working on them, the iPads must NOT be near the edge of a table in case they fall off and get hurt.  When we leave the classroom, or we are finished with the iPads, they go back in our special cabinet "Ninjago" to charge or if we are coming back to use them they are stacked 4 (1, 2, 3, 4) high.
