Powerpoints Part 3

Our writing about the Hiab

Room 2 went outside to have a look at the builders working.  We saw a hiab truck.  It lifted an office up and it placed the office down.  At the end Eva got a jacket and helmet on.

Today my class and I went to see the work that was the rebuilding Room 9 and 10.  When we got on to the grass on the field, it was cold and windy. After that we saw workers put walls and wallpaper into a big container.  When we were looking at the builders we saw hard hats on their heads to protect their heads.  When we were looking at the pink string I realised that was going to be the toilets!
After that we drew pictures of the hiab truck that had the office on it.  We were looking at the office and when the builders put the chain on, it lifted the office. We were watching the office and when it was coming down the workers carefully put it on the ground. After that we went back into class to have our morning tea.  When we had finished our morning tea we had a little play on the playground. Before that Eva put on a jacket and a hard hat. After that we wrote about what we saw.

In Room 2 we have been sketching. Today we have sketched a cool truck.  This truck has a crane on the back of it. It is really cool.

Room 9 and 10
I saw some men on the roof and men on the ground. I saw a lady doing something by the toilets.  I saw five windows and one was open. I saw some ladders. One was for the two men on the roof and one was just leaning on the wall of Room 9 and the last one I saw was one for a man who was taking something down from the roof inside.
This morning Room 2 are doing sketching again because we want to see if there is some different work on Room 9 and 10 and the toilets! We sketched where the toilets are.  We started sketching. Oh wait!
A man is walking where the toilets are! He told us there was a hiab truck coming soon because they would like an office.  It's coming....  We're waiting... Still waiting... Yay! It's here!

Class Reporters!

The year 2 team are having class reporters for the next two weeks. Everyone has a turn at choosing what they will talk about. The talk or speech is for about 2 minutes and the rest of the class are listening carefully

Eva spoke first about the Kids Challenge that she competed in. Great speech Eva - you used expression and spoke clearly.

Your speech explained what children can expect if they enter the race!

Our next speaker was Max, who told us some very interesting facts about the planets and he even had some model planets to show us. You spoke very well on your topic, Max.

Daniels was our third speaker today and he shared a bird's nest that he found a while ago. Daniels was able to share where he found it and what it's made of. He spoke clearly and looked at the audience, which is not that easy to do!

Superman cake!

Assembly 2014 part 1

We have been working on the iPads to share our cool KC Kid pictures and our thoughts about our assembly. 

We will keep posting them as we finish them! 

Cool photo Isaac and I love your KC kid's smile!
 You spoke really clearly with the microphone.
I was impressed with your confidence

Great poster Max, and I liked the way you spoke on the stage.
You were great at remembering your words! 

Nice poster Shamille, I like your background!
 I loved the dog brainstorm too.
You spoke well using the microphone.

Karearea Reading Task

The children in Karearea reading group worked independently on the iPads to do a character study.  First they read the book "Bend, Stretch and Leap" and identified Tommy as the main character.  Then they put the information they could find about Tommy onto a Pic Collage. They found a picture of Tommy in the book and snipped around it so that he was the only one in the photo. Very clever!

 

Some of the information has gone behind the heart - oh no!
I like the photo you chose of Tommy. Good work!

Your information looks great, Molly. You found out a lot about Tommy. Maybe you could have labelled the picture of Jessica so we know who she is?

Good work boys - You found some facts about what Tommy likes! You can practise changing the size of words so that important words are the biggest.  Maybe the title could have been bigger?

Emily, I like the creative way you have placed your information about Tommy. Great work! Maybe you could add a title for your work.

Starfish poem

We read a poem about a starfish this week.

We watched some video clips and learnt a lot of facts about starfish or Sea Stars, as they are also called.  You can also hear a story about starfish.

What do you think the story means?

Giant Stories

Today the boys and girls in Karearea reading group did some of their learning on the iPad.

They took photos of the giants and wrote about them.  They thought about whether all giants were the same or different.
