Brilliant Britney

Britney was this weeks assembly award winner. Miss Pauley chose Britney for her fantastic story writing, especially her Commonwealth games imaginative recount. Well Done Brits!

Room 2 commonwealth games

For the last two weeks Room 2 have been working on Commonwealth Games stories. We wrote stories about all kinds of sports like swimming, diving, sprinting, hockey, cycling, shotput, weightlifting and javelin. Liam's story was about rugby. He was in the All Blacks, Shay's story was about diving. Crytal's story was about gymnastics, Kane's story was about weightlifting and Kaci's was about shotput.
Here is the best bit from Rory's story: "The queen said ALL BLACKS WIN ALL BLACKS WIN and her crown fell right off because she was excited."

Here is the best bit from Elisha's story "When It my turn I did a double twist flip on the 10m bar and I won a gold medal."

By Elisha and Rory.

Our amazing assembly award winners this week are Jazz and Jasmine! Jazz has passed ALL of her basic facts levels, the only person ever to do this so quickly, genius!
Jasmine got her award from Miss Pauley for the fantastic way she follows instructions and is always so happy and helpful. Well done ladies.

How to freak out your mother!

Shay, Kane and Cameron read a story called "How to freak your mother out with a dinosaur". It was an unusual story because it was made into a flow chart. You had to read the boxes in the chart and make decisions by following the arrows. The boys made a flow chart themselves in publisher by using the story as a model. Here is Shay's amazing work!

Assembly Award Winners

I can't believe I forgot to tell you about these amazing children! Jazz and Oliver have both got assembly awards for amazing progress in swimming, they were such hard workeres in the pool!

Cupcake Day for the SPCA

Wow look at all the amazing cupcakes we created to raise money for our local SPCA. We had a fantastic, fun morning with our helpers Jesseme and Ashleigh creating tasty treats to sell at lunchtime. We have been talking about the work the SPCA does for animals who haven't found loving homes and the sorts of things the money we raise could help to pay for. Our SPCA really needs the money to keep helping awesome pets to find new homes, just like Miss B's dog Murphy. We are so glad we could help them out with the $90 we raised by selling our cupcakes. Top effort Room 2!

Murphy says thanks for helping my friends out!

Brilliant work Britney

He was able to make his sound book on photostory in super quick time, including the tricky bits like adding music and talking.
