Poetry Recital

I am learning to read and recite a poem of my choice. 

In Year 2, we have been learning many different poems. We had to choose a poem that we liked and had time to practise it in class and at home. 

We had to work on the following:

- Body Language and Eye contact - Standing still and looking at the audience. 

- Fluency - Speaking at a medium pace. 

- Clarity - Making sure we are speaking clearly. 

- Preparation - Knowing my poem when reading it. 

- Volume - Making sure I am talking so that everyone can hear me. 

Sea Creature Inquiry

WALT find information and create a piece of artwork on a Sea Creature 

This Term, we have been learning about Sea Creatures in our oceans and seas. 

We have learnt a lot of things such as: 

- The difference between animals that are endangered and extinct.

- Reasons why animals become either endangered and/or extinct. 

- What we can do to help take care of our animals and sea creatures in NZ. 

We were excited to complete a home project on a Sea Creature of our choice. We even got to display it in our classrooms and had the Year 1 classes and our Year 5 Buddy class come and visit us. We displayed our work on the tables, standing behind it and spoke about it to other children while answering questions. 

Hosting the Junior Assembly

Junior Assembly 

WALT celebrate and share our learning achievement with others

This Term we were lucky enough to host one of the Junior Assemblies. Some of us volunteered to speak while others showed our amazing Harold the giraffe portrait and writing. We worked really hard, practising our items and reading our script. We can't wait till it's our turn next to host assembly! 

The best part of me!

Welcome to Year 2

Reading Eggs is helping me to read.

"I don't do it at home. My computer doesn't work. I only do it at school. I like the tag game. "

I am learning to sound out vowels as the middle sounds, and write silly sentences.

"It is hard to write Silly Sentences because the words are hard for me."
