Room 2 latest

Only four weeks to go until the end of the year. These weeks will be four very busy ones, as we look to make the most of every learning opportunity over the final 20 school days of 2011.

Languages
This week the French post has stayed the same, as we didn't have a class session last week due to Mr Nelson being away on Thursday afternoon. This means that the post from last week on telling the time is still the most current and up to date.

For the Te Reo Maori blog the new topic is on body parts. The new post will help you with pronunciation of words, as we have borrowed links to the New Zealand History website.

Maths
The Room 2 group is enjoying the use of the Maths Buddy website. As stated last week, all Room 2 students have access to this superb web resource until the end of January 2012. What a great way to give students a head start on what they will be doing in their 2012 maths lessons!

Raft Race
Have you organised a group to start working on your raft for this year's challenge?

Athletics
Congratulations to those children who have qualified for the regional championships. Make sure you keep up that training at home to support what you are doing at school. Give yourself every opportunity of doing your very best against students from across the Wellington region.

Topic
The class is currently studying the elections. Have a look at the newspaper and the television news to find out what's going on. Can you guess who will be the prime minister on Sunday morning?

Homework
The new homework sheet has been posted on this blog. You can access the homework through the link on the top right of this blog page.

Mahi Tahi Kai Tahi
It was great to see so many Room 2 children at last week's Mahi Tahi Kai Tahi event. We are hoping that the event will lead to the building of closer relationships between school and home as one means of supporting children to do their very best at school.
