Week 7 & 8 in Room 2, Term 2

Week 8:

This week the student's homework is to finish publishing their History writing - they can hand write it if they have no internet connection at home.  They need to have their history topic brief (a paragraph or two) with their "what if" story after the brief.  We have been researching history events that interest us, and then thinking about "what if" it never happened?  Writing about what life would be like - the pros and cons - if that event never happened...  There are some great ideas coming through :)  Some student's have finished their published writing, so they have no other homework this week - just reading and spelling :)



Week 7:

Wednesday night the school had its Matariki celebration with the community.  What an awesome night!  The Rec Centre was beautifully decorated, with our class posters on display too.  The school Kapa Haka performed for us, and were amazing - well done group, especially Johnny who moved a lot of the audience with his powerful leadership :)  We then had a hangi and ended with a Matariki video presentation and a group Waiata.

For My Time on Thursday afternoons, the class is researching skills and activities that they are interested in and they will present back their learning at the end of the term.  Here we are in our 2nd week of My Time research:
