Education Week

We had a great time last week during Education Week.  On Thursday night we had SO many visitors to our classroom to check out all our great work and play the games we have been busy making. Then we headed to the Multi-Purpose Room to sing "You've Got a Friend In Me". The 2A children made terrific hosts, and their singing was fantastic!

Circus Skills

Our weekly Circus Skills lessons have been great so far! 

Look at some of the great skills we have been learning.

Everyone had a go at hula hoops, spinning plates and juggling. We have been having SO much fun!

Book week parade

On the 26th of August everyone came to school dressed up as there favourite character. Well some people came in there school uniform because they couldn't find a costume to wear. Nearly the whole school came dressed up as characters from Harry Potter. I came as Ginny from Harry Potter and everyone was saying I was Hermione because I went as her last year but Hermione doesn't have orange hair.  When we did the parade nearly everyone got interviewed. If you did get interviewed all you had to do was say what character. I had a great day.

WATER

Water is good. Water is great. Water is a Battle of the Brains group.
I drink water. I swim in water. I wash myself in water. I can't last without water. Water. Water. Water. People say it is blue. IT IS NOT!! It is clear. Water. Water. Water. It has no flavour if it comes from the tap. BUT. It is refreshing. Mmmmm......Mmmmmm.....Mmmmm....

It was lovely to see some special visitors come to watch her play.

Circus Skills

On Tuesday 3rd of May our class started circus skills. On our first lesson we did the spinning plates, Diablo and huge hula-hoops. I thought the Diablo was fun but I'm not good at it. The hoops was fun as well it was hard for me to do tricks. And the plates were quite simple for me because I have plates at home and I practise a lot. 

The following Tuesday we did Devil sticks scarves and poi.Oh~ the person that thought us was called Ben his pretty awesome. I found devil sticks pretty hard and I'm also not good at it. The scarves and poi was easier but you will still need practise to get it perfect.
