We are learning how to write a quality information report. We know that reports have an introduction. a body of paragraphs and a concluding statement. We know that reports gives the reader factual information about a topic. In Room 2, we are writing information reports on an animal. "From my research, I found out that an octopus has 3 hearts" - Kehu.

How many rectangles can you see in this picture?  Look carefully and count all the small rectangles. Can you see the large rectangles? Count them as well.   In Room 2, we are learning about 2D, 3D shapes, transformation of shapes and symmetry of shapes.  

Gezhane's bookwork is clearly set out with the date, a heading and beautifully written in blue pen and underlined in red pen.  Fantastic work.

Robin has written a reflection is his Learning Journal and showed what he has learned about shapes in geometry. Great work.

Welcome back...Term 4 is going to be a blast in Room 2.  Our topics for this term are: Information Reports,  Geometry, Inquiry topic is Beyond Aotearoa, PE - cricket skills.

  

We are determined to follow the OCRs (Our Classroom Rules more deliberately.  They are...

• HELPING - work cooperatively with others.
• QUIET - Put our hand up instead of calling out.
• PEACEFUL - Work out problems with kind words.
• CLEAN -  Put things away after use.
• RESPECTFUL - Take care of property.
• LEARNING - Get smarter at learning. 

We are learning about how cool geometry is.  Our brainstorm is filled with words we will use to help us understand this topic more.  We have folded up square paper to make rectangles and triangles.
