Swimming fun

Welcome to Year 2

Museum

Room 5 have been learning that people are different as part of our inquiry topic, 'Ko Aotearoa Ahau".

We went on a school trip to the Auckland Museum to look at the displays from different countries. We also learned about how people travelled to New Zealand in their waka. We made 'ei and performed a unique cultural dance.

We were also lucky enough to have some extra time for exploring the Museum.

Football

This term Room 5 were lucky enough to attend the football clinics held at Elm Park School. We learned some new and exciting games and skills. We also got to play our very own game of football in the giant, inflatable pitch.

We had an amazing time!

Reading - Floating vs Sinking

During reading time the Finding Dory's group read a book about things that float and things that sink. We went outside to see what we could find and made predictions about what we thought would happen when we placed it into the bucket of water. We had a lot of fun!

New Zealand Landscapes

On Thursday 5th September the Year 1 students went on a trip to North Head, Devonport. This term we have been learning about New Zealand landscapes and the natural and man-made features found within them. We got to explore the natural hills, rocks and beaches as well as the man-made tunnels, paths and trenches. We had a great time seeing and learning about new things!

Here is Nidhi exploring the canons with her friends.

Making Music

Elm Park School are lucky enough to have the best music teacher, Mrs D. This term we have been learning how to keep a beat and play some percussion instruments. All the children in Room 5 LOVE music! 

Here is Nidhi playing the lollipop drum.
