Arthur's Pass Camp

On Monday 5th December, Room 2 went to Arthur's Pass EOTC. It was a 2 and a quarter hour trip. The activity i most enjoyed was the river crossing. We had to get in groups of four and cross the river holding onto each other. The water was like ice. There was lots of laughing.

Ferrymeade

In Term 3, 2011, Room 1 & 2 went to Ferrymeade. We learnt all about all the old things that were sustainable. Things like a washing mangler - sustainable man power. We had to dress up like children who lived in the early 1900s. We had doing manual chores and lots of washing and cleaning. It was fun, we got to wash clothes, scrub wooden tables, wash dishes, clean floors and much more. We all had lots of fun.

Learning to do CPR

On Wednesday 23rd November, we learnt how to perform CPR on a plastic doll. It was hard to remember to hold the head back so that the neck was straight. After everyone had done the breathing and compressions we were given a plastic bag with goodies to take home.

Being ECO Warriors

In Term 1, 2011 Room 2 had to learn their chores around the school for the rest of the year. Room 2 are in charge of all the caretaker type jobs like emptying rubbish bins, compost bins, and looking after the worm farm. To help us learn our chores, teams in our class were given the task of making an advert. So we used cameras and wrote scripts and filmed our ads. This year I have learnt a lot about the environment - like how to take care of the worms and how they can help our plants grow.

How much we have changed!

At the start of the year. My face was a little different than it is now. Mrs Harliwich took everyone's photo. It is amazing how much you can change during the year.

Cycle Safety

In the first term February 14th, Room 2 participated in Cycle Safety. First we checked our bikes and learnt some biking games to warm us up. We practiced in our school grounds, learning how to start and turn, then stop. By the next day we were ready for the road. We put on our fluro vests and tightened our helmets and learnt how to bike safely on the road. After we completed the training we received a certificate and earned our bike license.
