Cricket Skills with Taita Cricket Club players

 Today, Room 2 were first up to have cricket skills with members of the Taita Cricket Club.  Not even the light rain could stop us from getting outside to be actively involved in yet another  opportunity offered at Avalon.

 Bowling skills were taught through a number of fun games such as snowball tag, golden child and no man's land. 

Aiming high and never giving up was shown on the astro turf at the cricket skills session today.

Great job Room 2!

AVALON stands for...

Room 2 now have a better understanding of what the key areas in the AVALON acrostic mean after a number of discussions and brainstorming sessions.

Each statement in blue was broken down to what it means for us in Room 2 as learners (in yellow.)  We were then able to co-construct our classroom rules agreement (OCRs).  Fantastic job Room 2.

Active learning in Room 2

This is evidence of 2 week's worth of learning in Room 2.  Our writing is on the wall about who we are.






Inquiry about Leadership is displayed with our prior knowledge and our wonderings. 








Learning about how recount texts are put together and the purpose for them is modelled for us to refer to. 

 Active reflection bubbles remind us that we have to think about what we are thinking about.

Great job Room 2.
