Making a Worm Farm!

Worms are amazing!  Did you know that?
 
 

 
Room 2 learned all about worm farms with Lesley yesterday.
 

 
 
 
Worms live in newspaper which we can recycle.  We helped Lesley make the worms a place to sleep and a place to have their babies. 

 
We learned that the worms needed for a worm farm are called Tiger Worms. 
 
All the materials used in our worm farm were recycled.


 
Lesley told us a trick for deciding if worms like specific foods.  If you have cut on your hand and you can put a piece of food against it and it doesn't sting then the worms will eat it.  So oranges get a big NO and apple cores get a big YES!
 
We are looking forward to taking good care of our worms!  Thanks Lesley!

Jump Jam!

Jump Jam is an aerobics programme written especially for children. Year 1-6 do Jump Jam on a Tuesday and Thursday morning at 9am.
 
 
 
We have lots of different songs like 'Who Let the Dogs Out?' and 'The Candyman'. 

 
On these frosty winter mornings it helps us to keep fit and to keep warm!

We love Jump Jam in Room 2!

Year 1-6 Amuri's Got Talent!

 Room 2 had two very brave entrants in our annual Amuri's Got Talent Quest.


Millie-Jane sang a beautiful song by Taylor Swift and Ronan choreographed his own dance to 'Who let the Dogs out?'
 
Well done to both of you!  
Room 2 and Mrs Habgood are very, very proud of your efforts!

Artwork with Mrs B

We completed some artwork with Mrs B.  We are going to enter our artwork in the Hurunui Arts Council competition.
 
The theme was 'Keeping Out the Cold.'

 
We loved drawing our little cartoon creatures with their beanies and scarves on!

Disco Fun!

Last Friday night the Year 13
 PE students held a disco for the Year 1-6 students. 
 
The theme was neon and there were plenty of bright colours on display.


The glow sticks and bracelets were very popular and made great photographs!


 
 

Miss Wilkinson got out her dancing moves and joined in!


The limbo was very popular!
 
Balloons, lollipops and noise!  FUN!!
 


We all had a great time.  Thanks to the PE students for hosting us!

More Chocolate Factories...

Myla and Molly have built their versions of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory! 

Molly created her factory to be HUGE. We hope there will be plenty of room for all that chocolate inside Molly!




Myla added features to her factory.  She remembered that Willy Wonka had the red carpet rolled out for his special guests and made a red carpet for her factory. Very clever Myla!


We are really enjoying listening to 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

Music in Room 2

In Room 2 we love learning music with Ms Thomas.  She taught us this new song.
 
We performed today for Mrs Habgood!

 


 
She thought we were amazing!  We are going to perform at our next assembly.
