Wild Hair Wordle

On Friday we had a wild hair day at NEVNS to help Scott to raise money for the SPCA and Canteen. Miss B showed us how to use a programme called wordle to organise and brainstorm our ideas for writing about Wild Hair Day.

Music with Anna

On Friday Anna came to visit room 2. We listened to two malaysian songs that we are going to sing in our puppet show. One of the songs is about a nana with only two teeth and a cockatoo. We have to perform the songs with our puppets.

Chuck the Chicken

Today we learnt to play a new game with Miss Clarke, called Chuck the Chicken at school, because we are learning to play games where we have to cooperate.

How to play Chuck the Chicken

You will need:

A toy chicken

Two teams

A netball court

1 First make sure you have even teams.

2 One team is throwing the chicken and the other team is chasing it.

3 The throwing team yells "Chuck the chicken" then they chuck the chicken.

4 When they have thrown the chicken they get into a circle and one of their team runs around the circle. They get a point for each time the person gets around the circle.

5 Meanwhile the other team picks up the chicken then their team lines up and they pass the chicken over and under all the people in their team. When they are finished they yell "Chuck the chicken" and they throw the chicken.

6 The game finishes when the teacher says and the team with the most points wins.

Last week we welcomed a new student to Room 2. Kaye is from the Phillipines and she is having fun making new friends at North East Valley Normal. Welcome to our school Kaye, its great to have you here!

Scott Kvick - Super skiker

Today we were very lucky to meet Scott Kvick who plays ice hockey for the Dunedin Thunder. The children had heard about Scott and his skikes in the Otago Daily Times and Mrs Will arranged for him to visit us. Scott is planning on using his skikes, which are kind of a cross between skis and skates, to skike from Cape Reinga to Bluff to raise money for Canteen and the SPCA. We loved meeting Scott and hearing about his very interesting challenge. Good Luck Scott!

Hot Shot Word Wizards

Artists in Schools

We are working with 3 artists at our school this term, Kaitrin and Drew are helping us to make puppets. Today we worked with Anna on some music. She is going to be teaching us how to sing with our puppets for a performance.

Super Spellers

Last week we had a spelling test. These are the people who got all their words correct. Go super spellers!

ART

Yesterday we looked at some paintings by an artist called David Hockney. He uses lots of lines, patterns and texture in his work. We all made a piece of work that had 4 different patterns in bright colours. Then we tore up our work and used the pieces to join into one big artwork. We think that it looks professional and beautiful!

Fantastic Handwriting

We have been working on our letter formation, space and slope in preparation for linking our writing. Amiru has made an excellent start to the term. Keep up the great work!
