Room 4, 2023
Welcome to Room 4
Kia ora, my name is Mrs Ruth Hughes and I am the teacher in Room 4.
We are a class of fun loving and inquisitive Year 2 students who are looking forward to a year of learning.
Check back soon to see all the great things we have been up to!
Term 2 2023
Welcome back to Term 2! We have another exciting and busy term planned for our tamariki.
We have a strong Math focus this term starting with continuing our work on addition and subtraction skills. We will also be beginning the term with a patterns unit at the end of each week.
In our Ready to ROAR Wellbeing Programme we will be focusing on friendships, and how to be the boss of our worried and/or scared feelings. These are wonderful skills that are vital for living a full and happy life as we continue to grow up.
This term we will also be focusing on healthy living and how to be fit and active in our everyday life.
Come back soon and see all the great things the Room 4 team have been up to!
Term 1
I am looking forward to welcoming you all back after a wonderful summer!
We will be focusing on relationship building, getting to know each other and learning classroom routines.
We will be swimming 3 times a week in our lovely heated swimming pool, starting week 1. Named togs and towels are a must! We will be learning all about how to keep ourselves safe in and around water, including rivers, pools and in the ocean.
Art will also be a curriculum focus this term as we look to explore different mediums and ways of expressing ourselves.
Swimming in the school pool
This term we have enjoyed swimming 3 times a week in our school pool. We have learned many new skills such as floating on our front and backs, diving to the bottom of the pool and gliding and sculling skills. We have all grown confident being in the water... and had lots of fun too!
Art Unit
Feeding the chickens
This term we got to feed the chickens for a week. We learned all about what chickens need to survive and how to behave around them. We also collected their eggs and got to make waffles with them at the end of the week!
