Week five of Term 1

Week five was a busy week in Room 2!

On Monday our class waka was finally complete. The whakatauki 'He waka eke noa' (we are all on this journey together)  will be with us for all of 2021. 




Throughout the week all of the students worked hard for our PAT and E-asttle tests. 

On Thursday our whole class went to mass with Room 6. We have a special mass twice a term and it was great to be able to share this experience with a junior class. After mass, we were treated to another music lesson with Mrs. Moore! 

The students finished a busy week of testing with an awesome time at swimming sports! 
Room 2 gave it their best effort at Rawhiti school pool. There was an opportunity at the end for free time where the students enjoyed the sunny weather! 








Haere rā,

Weeks 8/9 Term 1

 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!)

In week 3 Room 2 set off on an adventure to Arthur's Pass!  It was a fun-filled week that included lots of scenic hikes, hut building, cooking, sensory trails (and more).  Some of the highlights in Room 2 were:  "Seeing the massive waterfall at the end of The Devil's Punchbowl walk"  "Being able to lead the walking group which was my camp goal"  "Playing spotlight and the fun games like 'sneak up on bacon'" "Going to a place I have never been to before and seeing new things" Below is a short video showing the year five and six camp highlights!  Ngā mihi,  Helena Pownall
