Snow, snow and more snow!

Can you believe how much snow we have had? I have lived in Dunedin for quite a long time and don't ever remember the schools being closed for two days in a row. I hope everyone had fun playing in the snow, did anyone make a really cool snowman? A friend of mine made one and dyed it green with food colouring it looked really funny.

Cycle Safety

We had an amazing time learning about cycle safety with our friend Constable Somerfield, even Miss B was on her bike!

Welcome back!!

Yes it seems like a hundred years since room 2 last posted on the blog, but unfortunatley Miss B's computer had a nasty accident and all the lovely photos and things were trapped on it and we couldn't blog them. Over the next wee while we hope to catch up on the cool stuff we have been up to starting with this .......
We have been buddy reading with our friends in room 10 on a Friday afternoon, what a wonderful way to end the week. The children are working so beautifully together it makes Mrs S and I so proud!

Perfect Portraits

Look at the amazing artwork by the artists in Room 2. We were so proud to share them at assembly on Friday. Come into Room 2 for a closer look.

Art, artists and portraits

We have been learning about drawing portraits and the different ways artists do portraits. We have learnt that if you draw a picture of yourself it is called a self-portrait. We looked at the book "Willy's Pictures" By Anthony Browne and found an artist called Frida Kahlo who painted 55 self-portraits. She had a tough time throughout her life because she got badly hurt in an accident so she often painted herself in ways that showed this. We also talked about the famous Mona Lisa and wondered is she smiling and if she is what is she smiling about? Take a look at this website for kids about some famous artists for more information.
