Week four of Term 1

 After a big week at camp, Room 2 started week four of school. 
On Monday we were lucky enough to have a football training session. In this session we trained with a coach from Coastal Spirit who showed us different techniques and drills. 







On Thursday we were treated to a music lesson with Mrs Moore. She taught us about ryhthm by using a fun and interactive game! 


On Friday morning we joined junior classes for buddy reading. This was a great opportunity as a class to be leaders and support other learners. 




We then enjoyed the school library where we were joined by Charlie the dog. Charlie listened to some stories and spent the afternoon in Room 2! 



Some of the student's highlights were: 

  • "Getting to try the Korean language for the first time" -Paige
  • "I thought it was fun starting statistics" -Claudia 
  • "Working at the library" -Lexi 
  • "Walking Charlie around" -Aiden 
  • "Learning Māori in handwriting" - Matias S





    Ka kite anō, 

    Miss Pownall

      Ki Ora Sarah,

      We had a great week in room 2! My favourite part was where we did the football lessons with the coach from coastal spirit. I remember when I sometimes played football with a few of my friends at school.
      It was also fun with Charlie for the afternoon and at the library!
      Thanks for commenting!

    We did have a great week, the games were really fun including the football.
    Another thing I liked was the buddy reading I read to Bryce.
    Are you good at football?

      Hi Angus, that's awesome. Lee sounds like a fun dude, just like you. It's nice that you read to the junior students, I bet they think you are pretty cool.

      Hi Alex, thanks for your reply. I'd have to say my favourite book of all time is "Oh The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss. I love it because it rhymes and sounds great if you read it with a nice rhythm but it also has some of the best life advice that applies to a multitude of situations across the lifespan. Even though it's a children's book, it is applicable to people of all ages. Essentially, it is an epic read and I highly recommend it. If you haven't read it, you definitely should. What is your favourite book and why? Have a great day. :)

Weeks 8/9 Term 1

Image
 Room 2 has been working hard in the lead-up to the Easter holidays!  Week eight:  In week eight we researched the history of our school to add detail to our reports. We were lucky enough to interview Ms Daines who had a lot of knowledge about NBC and its history.  We also took some time to read and explore the time capsule which was placed under the old school toilets in 1994. While we explored the time capsules, we took down notes in our books of important information to add to our reports.  Here are some of Room two's thoughts:  "I loved seeing all of the ways that NBC has changed" -Jacob  "It was cool to know what happened when other people were here and finding interesting dates" -Quinn  "It was cool seeing how NBC has changed and some of the connections we had to the people who wrote the time capsule" -Samuel  "It was interesting seeing what people in 1994 thought the future would be like" -Paige  "I enjoyed finding out the names o...

The end of term 1!

Image
The end of term 1 was filled with fun!  We had an educational and interactive time learning about food and nutrition with Brittany from Foodstuffs. This began with some learning in the classroom about the importance of reading food labels.  It was then followed up with a trip to Pak'n'Save where we could use our knowledge in the real world.    We were lucky to have another special visitor who taught the class about rhythm and decibels. This interactive activity helped us to expand our musical knowledge.  This term room 2 has been working hard to secure their class reward. After a lot of effort and time showing the school virtues and seeking excellence in our learning- we reached our goal!  The students voted for a blanket fort and PJ afternoon- It was a super way to end a fantastic first term. Ngā mihi,  Helena Pownall  (P.S Keep an eye on your mailboxes for a surprise Room 2!)
