Audio Reading Books

Hi everyone, I found this wonderful school website today. It has all of the ready to read texts (available) in an audio format, in one handy place. I thought you might enjoy listening to some of your books at home. If you have a ready to read book, check the key at the bottom of the page and see if you can find your book.


Kauri Park School

Thank you to Kauri Park School for making this available.

Magic Rain

On Fridays, we are having great fun with different experiences in our classroom. This week made magic rain!

First we added shaving foam to a jar of water. Next we added a few drops of food colouring on top of the shaving foam...then we waited...

The coloring slowly appeared underneath the shaving foam. It was like a rain cloud with different colours dripping out. 

Lastly, we wrote about this experience - we used some interesting language, and shared this with each other.

Pizza Fractions

This term we are learning about Fractions in Room 2. We have been making our own pizzas so that we can experiment with cutting them into equal pieces to share with our friends!

Spring Time in Room 2

Spring has arrived in Room 2! What a wonderful time of the year. This morning, I was lucky enough to receive a beautiful bunch of daffodils - the first daffodils from the farm of Samantha's family. Then, we had a visit from a little lamb who is being hand-reared. Lamby was very well behaved in Room 2 and drank his bottle all up!

Dog Safety

On Wednesday we had a visit from our friends at animal control. They taught us all about how to be safe around dogs. The most important fact that we learned was "IF A DOG'S ON ITS OWN, LEAVE IT ALONE'. 

Titi Torea

Yesterday we had our first Kapa Haka session learning how to play Te Rakau. Matua Whitiri was very impressed with the great listening that we did and how well we kept the beat.

Magic Milk

Today we had great fun trying out a magic milk experiment. If you want to try it at home, here are the instructions: magic milk
