Beach Ed day at Brighton Beach

What a fantastic time Room 2 had at Brighton Beach for beach ed with the Surf Life saver instructors.
We learnt a lot about being safe at the beach and in the water.
We learnt all about the different jobs surf life savers have to do!
Our favourite moments were - building sandcastles, pretending to be surf life savers, swimming & playing in the water.
It was a gorgeous sunny day - we can't wait to do it all again one day!!!

Friday Maths Fun!

In Room 2 on Fridays afternoons we have fun day maths time!

The children are in groups of 3 and they rotate around different maths activities & games.

Each activity is for 10 minutes and the children get to practice their maths, learn to work co-operatively, and most of all to have fun!!!

MACHINES WORKING AT OUR NEW SCHOOL

Room 2 children took a trip over the road to have a look at how the building of our new school is going.

We were fascinated by all the different machinery we could see working there!

Lots of machines all busily working to help build our new school!

Learning all about keeping ourselves safe in Room 2

Room 2 children spent the first two weeks of Term 4 learning all about "Keeping ourselves safe"
Some of the things we talked about were:

• the different ways we can feel
• the different ways we need to keep ourselves safe
• what our names, addresses and phone numbers were
• how to call 111 in an emergency

Meet Charlie Bear!!!!

A big welcome to the newest member of Room 2 - Charlie Bear.
Charlie Bear had heard so many great things about us that he decided to come for a visit . . .
and it turned out that he had so much fun that he decided he would just have to stay forever with us!
We didn't want Charlie Bear to feel lonely each night in the classroom on his own - so as a special treat because he is such an awesome cool bear - he gets to have sleepovers with the Room 2 children!

Haere Mai Charlie Bear!
