Learning to play cricket

In Room 2 we had a cricket lesson. We had 2 coaches and they were teaching our class how to play cricket. We got to learn how to hold and hit the bat properly to the ball. We each got a bat and we were learning how to hit the ball off a cone. Room 2 all participated and showed respect to our coaches and most of us were really good at cricket. Room 2 learnt that in cricket there are some things you need to be aware of like standing in front of someone as they are going to hit the ball, running in the middle of a ball that might hit you and other safety rules. Room 2 were very lucky to get the chance to learn how to play cricket and we all made sure we had fun.

Tongan Language Week

 This week Room 2 learnt how to make a flag on our ipads with the help of Mrs Carruthers.  

We made a Tongan Flag.

Dancing

As part of our sport roster Room 2 have been doing dance.  It is a lot of fun, we get to pretend we are different animals or running and walking at different speeds.

Cook Island Week

This week in Room 2 we celebrated Cook Island Week with Room 1.  

We dressed up in some Pasifika clothes and learnt how to do a dance.  Everyone had a lot of fun learning about another culture.

Shadow Art

As part of our Inquiry - Light and Sound we decided to make shadow art.

 We painted our paper all over then when the paint was dry we traced our hands with a pencil then we very carefully painted our handprints black.

We got very messy making our shadow art but we had a lot of fun.

Tae Kwon Do Two

After weeks of learning how to kick Room 2 got to practice that on some boards.  

They had to hit the board very hard for it to break.  

Below are Sophie and Ali breaking the boards.
