Our Thoughts of Term 2

Term 2 was the best. We were very busy with so many visitors. We had Sleeping Beauty, Kat Anna Fiddle, and also Stars on Stage. We also had the ten sec club where we have to say our times tables in 10 seconds.  But the best part was Mrs Tobin coming back. We also visited KVC and had a fun afternoon doing science experiments, baking, making wind twirlers and doing PE.

In term 2 we were learning about entertainment. It was cool because we had lots of perfomers and plays come.  My favourite was Once Upon a Pie.  That was cool because it was about a baker and his daughter who had been taken by a witch and he has to find 4 things to get his daughter back from the witch. But thats not all; we did lots more stuff like Stars on Stage, and swimming and lots more.

I liked Term 2 because we got to do Stars on Stage and two plays came to our school.  One was 'Kat Anna Fiddle' and the other was 'Once Upon a Pie'.  The top field had been getting a bit wet so some trucks and diggers have been up there putting in a drainage system.

Term 2 was really fun.  Some of the things we did were start up our scramble club in Room 5.  We also performed in Stars on Stage a few weeks ago.  I thought it was extraordinary.  Another thing that we did in Term 2 was that Mr Hamilton picked some people to be PALs (physical activity leaders) who were Sydney, Jacob, Shaniia and me.  We even started up our own word worm - if we find a word we don't understand and we think it would be a good word to use in our writing, then we get to put it on the word worm.

Our pick-a-path stories were really cool after they were published on powerpoint.  We showed some of them in assembly.  I helped by teaching the others to hyperlink which makes the powerpoint go to another slide.

In Term 2 Briarna, Brenna and I moved up into Room 5. It's wonderful here and Mrs Tobin is a great teacher.  The council is very good and is going to hold a disco.  I think Term 2 is the best term of my life.  I don't ever want to leave Room 5 because 1) Mrs Tobin and 2) everyone is so nice.

This term has been a very exciting term. We have had Stars on Stage and lots of performers came.  First we had Kim - he's a man who travels around schools with plays.  This time he came with the play Sleeping Beauty.  The next performer was Kat Ann Fiddle and she told us stories.  Kat told the story and Anna played the fiddle and sang.

Sydney Mowat


In Term 2 we have had two plays come and help us with our inquiry topic - Let Me Entertain You.  One play was called Once Upon a Pie and the other was called Kat Anna Fiddle.  Also, at the start of the term, Gill picked some new librarians.  They had to fill out an application form.  When Gill picked some people they had to get trained on how to use the computer.  Our library is really cool because on the side of it we have a big bright painting of our native birds.  Inside our library there are lots of books for us to read.

Have a wonderful, safe holiday kids and I'll see you all back at school on 20th July.  Mrs T

Wow, you guys have crammed a lot into Term 2! I knew Aaron would write about ICT and Cody Smith, I came back in Term 2 also. You guys make me laugh.
I hope Term Three is as good for you as Term Two was and that you all remember to make the best choices you can!
Have a happy holiday!
