First post for 2018

Welcome to 2018 sorry about the late start we have been really busy in room 2.
Room 2 consists of 15 tino ataahua tamariki they are Year 2 and Year 3 tamariki.

On the 5th February we went to Waitangi as we were learning about the Treat of Waitangi.

We wanted to see where the treaty was signed.

First we got ready to go on  the bus.

We drove to Waitangi we had to get off the bus and line up so we could meet our guides.

Our guide was Whaea Roylena.

Showed us this picture of Ngatokimatawhaorua, we had a photo with it.
Can you see the man standing up at the back that is Whaea Shiralee's dad.

United Tribes flag

The Royal New Zealand Navy marched.

We liked watching the navy marched the were tall and straight like a statue.s

WALT make predictions

On Monday Whaea Rosina brought us some crystals we put them in water.
Then we made predictions on what it might, look like, what it might feel like

These were our predictions.

This is what they looked liked 

Then we thought what if we add more water what will happen to the crystals.

The beads grew bigger.

Here is Peehikuru story about our slippery Balls.

Here is Lana's story.

WALT read from our book boxes

Well done Bella you are able to read the books from your book box.
