TERM 1 2016  Welcome back to school!

Room 7  has a new teacher and a new class this year!

Our Teacher is Mrs Finucane and we are a wonderful group of Year 2 students. We have 4 new students from other schools who have joined our happy team and we are settling into routines and getting ready for learning!

MAKE A WISH DAY

Can you guess what we wished for?

Odd Shoe Day helped us with our Maths!
We discovered lots of things about pairs, odds and evens and counting in twos.

We enjoyed watching the builders working on our new playground and now it is ready for us to have fun on!

Here we are awaiting the start of our Cross Country races.
Congratulations to our placegetters.  All that hard work at fitness time was worth it!  

At the end of Term 2 we had a visit from Colleen, a Zero Waste educator.  She spoke to us about reducing the waste in our lunchboxes so that we could have 'litterless lunchboxes'.  On her first visit we counted 110 pieces of paper, plastic wrappers and other types of waste that would be going into our bins at school.  On her second visit we had reduced this number to 75.  This trend continues so well done everyone on your efforts to make our lunchboxes 'litterless'.

One of the highlights of our visit was getting really close to the giraffes!

Our Visit to Hamilton Zoo!
Before we started to walk around the zoo we went into the zoo classroom where Ken talked to us about wetlands.
