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. 

Collaborative Learning

We made this tower out of blocks. The paper is to show you this is a boat and the lower one is the money sign. We hid money under the blocks so we could deliver it to an island.
Dito's favourite part about building the tower was hiding the money in the blocks.
Sahara's favourite part was when we all worked together to make the tower.
Lucas loved trying to make the tower tall.

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.

Morning maths board

Every morning we do our maths board. There are four parts to the maths board. In part one the teacher tells us the number of the day and we have to say the number before, the number after, double it and half it. Sometimes you can't half the number because it's odd. That's another thing we have to do, say if it is odd or even. We then put up the number in words. Part two is the shape of the day, we talk about the vertices and edges of the shape. Then we do the equation of the day and let's estimate. Do you know what estimate means? It means to take a guess but not a silly guess, a proper guess. It's okay if you get it wrong, you don't always estimate correctly. In the third part we do fractions, we have learnt a lot about fractions. We count money, both notes and coins. We are getting better at that too. We also do dot patterns. We like dot patterns. Miss Pryde holds up a dot pattern for only 1 second and we have to say how many dots there are. Then we have figure out how many dots we have to add or takeaway to get to 5 or how many we have to add to get to 10. The last part is our favourite, it's called What's the time Mr. Wolf. Miss Pryde says that every time then she tells us a time. We have to put up the digital and analogue version of it. We started off doing 1 o clock, 2 o clock, 3 o clock etc but now we do 1:30, 2:30, 3:30. We have to think hard but we love doing the morning maths board. 

Our bags are done!
