Welcome back to Term 2.

I hope you had a fantastic holiday, and feel refreshed and ready to start Term 2.

I went to Wellington for the Easter break and when I was visiting Te Papa I saw this statement which got me excited about this terms work, see if you can work out why!

Examples of the end Term work.

We finished our Kiwiana topic with a contract where the students were able to chose which activity they would be interested in completed. Here are some examples of there work...

Ellie's alphabet poster showing typical Kiwi symbols

Anna's Kiwi alphabet poster.



Emily's New Zealand brochure to attract people to visit New Zealand during the world cup.




Logan's brochure with great titles!



Thomas' wanted poster for a lost Kiwi.

Adam's interesting wanted poster for Fred Dagg.

Regan's research into the history of the New Zealand, and his design for a new flag.

Anna's diary entry for a typical action packed kiwi day.

Ben, Luke, Mardi, Sam and filmed by Cameron, made an advertisement attracting people to New Zealand for the R.W.C.

 Fantastic work was done by all, well done!

"Kiwi as" afternoon.

Room 2 celebrated the end of term with a celebration of all the work they have done on the unit "There's no culture in New Zeland: Yeah Right" by having an afternoon of "Kiwi as" fun!

We started the afternoon off by having a shared lunch of typical New Zealand food. People shared sausage rolls, scones, anzac biscuits, pin wheels, kiwifruit, pinneapple lumps, pavalova, lamingtons and of course we drank L'n'P!

After our huge feed we supported the girls in the interclass tug of war competition, they all pulled hard and had a lot of fun.

The girls pulled hard!

Then it was time for the Kiwi activities to begin. We had a blindfolded taste test, which was difficult to distinguish between all the different flavours of potato chips.

We ventured outdoors to participate in the Gumboot throwing competition, which Cameron Smith won the boys furtherest throw, and Lucy Vanner took out the girls competition.

Our 2 winners for the biggest throw!

Sam getting good distance.

Adam strectching it out.

Brandon trying a different style.

Then the students came up with their own ideas for a game using the Gumboots, and they created a game based on a softball game, were you threw a Gumboot instead of a ball. It was an exciting game and we had a draw at the end.

This fantastic afternoon of Kiwi fun was ended by a good, old running ran, which Logan De Joux won only by a split second!

Ready, set, GO!!!!

Sam and Logan came in at the same time, we had a rematch and Logan took out the win by a split second!

What an excellent way to end the term! Thank you to all Room 2 students for all your hard work this Term2! Enjoy your holiday and come back refreshed and ready to learn more.
