Kiwi Kids News is a great place for reading not only articles from NZ but from all over the world.  From water allergies in the USA to All Blacks injuries.  The class loves it.

School Journals have just put their latest reading books online.  Keep reading!

Cup Stacking Challenge

Team Challenge Day is always a good day in Room 2.

Kahoot.it The best fun taking a quiz...EVER!

When can a teacher boast that they have every student in a class of 31 hanging on their every word? When that teacher is giving an online quiz using kahoot.it !

Maths Talk

Collaborative problem solving in maths is a great way to get everyone talking about maths in class. Learning how other students use different strategies to solve a maths problem helps when to figure out the most efficient method.

Action Origami

One of the measurement tasks we completed in class focused on accuracy.  Arshjot has his paper lined up ready to connect the pieces.
Libby modelling the final result.

In support of Caritas New Zealand our school held a rice day.  We also were allowed to wear mufti and the gold coins we brought in went to support communities in the Philippines.
