Welcome children, I'm glad you're here.
We're going to have a wonderful year!
We'll read and we'll write,
We'll sing and we'll play,
We'll paint and we'll draw,
And learn new things each day!

Skate Day

Three Room 2 children were stars in the Christmas Parade yesterday. Did you see them?

On Tuesday we ran the whole school assembly. We had a Greedy Cat theme. We showed our Greedy Cats, our awesome paintings, a slideshow of our kidpix pictures with a podcast of the original Greedy Cat story.
We shared some of our own Greedy Cat stories and sang his song.We were very proud of ourselves as it was the first assembly that most of room 2 had been involved in. Lots of parents came to watch which made us a bit nervous to start with. It was a nice way toe finish our inquiry.

On Saturday night I went to the "Shall we dance" concert at the Marlborough Centre. Emily was dancing and these are some photos of her during the show.

I kept falling down like I was playing rugby. The team got 1 goal and we got zero.I am getting good at kicking the ball. I am really good at soccer.

Today I am going to play the best game of soccer. I am going to play winter soccer as well. Mrs Paterson is going to soccer to film us.
This is the little film she took.

As Monday is December 1st I thought it would be okay for us to start thinking about Christmas. I hope you enjoy this little Christmas song.

What a wonderful day we had in Room 2 today. Jackson, Jonty and Ben were visiting for the morning. Jackson is 5 on Monday and the following Monday, Jonty and Ben turn 5.
The big event of the day was a very special visit from Tania (Marlborough Distict Libraries childrens librarian) and Greedy Cat.
It was so exciting actually getting to meet him. He was very quiet. He must have felt shy, just like we do when we first come to school. Tania read us lots of cool books and we sang the "Greedy Cat" song.
Tania read some of our books to Greedy Cat. She said that our stories were amazing and suggested we send some to Joy Cowley. I am sure she would enjoy them.
You are welcome to come in a read our books. We are very proud of them. We will share some of them at assembly in week 9 and we are putting a copy of each book in our library for other children to read.

Making biscuits for Greedy Cat's visit

We have had an exciting week with our visits to see Harold in the mobile classroom. We got a huge surprise when Harold came to our school assembly. Karen asked us questions and some children won bottles of brain juice (water),

Lily left us a comment yesterday. It was way back on the story about her last day so I have copied it for you to see.

Today we went to visit Harold in the mobile classroom. We are learning about "Air to Live". We learned a new version of "Heads, shoulders, knees and toes."

Riverlands Fair

After the athletic fun day we were very tired so we sang some songs in Room 1. Some of our big buddies made up a puppet show to help us learn this new song. It was written by Kath Bee, who wrote our school song.
