Can you believe it that we have finished a quarter of 2008 already? The term has flown by, with highlights such as Waterwise - kayaking and sailing, and Camp Hunua.

Everyone has worked very hard and we have developed a strong class team.  Our teacher thinks we all deserve a break and we should have a restful and relaxing two weeks of holidays.

Have fun, take care and travel safe and we’ll see everyone back again on Monday 5 May. 

Room 2 did the coolest assembly item and had the whole school cracking up with laughter, Mrs Slater was laughing so much that she was crying!

There were some really amazing girls who used their stunning voices to record a song onto garageband of the ‘12 days of Camp’ - sung to the tune of the ‘12 days of Christmas’.

Each time there was a different line in the song there was a new group of children who would come onto the stage and act out the line.

It was hilarious when one of our boys dressed up as a lady, and he even wore high heels and a wig - he sure had the audience in stiches of laughter.

Some children even dressed up as the teachers that had gone on camp. Isabelle was dressed up as Mr Mac and she had really clever facial expressions, and a costume which included chocolate bars and ginger beer. Hopefully Mr Mac thought that it was funny and was offended. Renei was funny as Miss Gibson because she even had her wrist brace on and it really looked like she was actually Miss G. Beau looks like he might be the new Mr Hurlow - and the funniest thing was that on the day the real Mr Hurlow was actually wearing exactly the same outfit as what Beau had dressed up in. Emily was a crazy Mrs Cameron with her red ‘guitar’, it was great to be able to remember the super time we’d had with Mrs Cameron at camp singing song with us on the first night. Felicity was walking around with a clip-board, looking very official like Mrs Bridgeman.

At the end we showed a slideshow of loads of photos to share our super camp memories with the rest of the school.

We were pretty proud of our efforts at assembly, especially considering that we only had 2 days to prepare then present it.

P.E is great fun with you Mr Hurlow.We all feel greatly sad you are leaving.

We will always remember you.You will always be the best P.E teacherI

have ever had before

Today I played with my sister`s boyfriend. My sister is 21 and she has gone to Canada .Tony showed up at 1:25. It was kind of exciting, the first thing we did was go to the zoo. It was so fun.We went there at 1:30pm, and then we left there at 3:30pm so we could go and talk to me sister in Canada.  Then we create and play small worlds which is a review. And then me and Tony watched the Simpson’s and then I went home It was a fun day!!!!

In I.C.T we are learning to create blogs. We are learning to write posts to and save them onto our blog. We are trying to put as many as we can onto our room 2 blog. We also have to know how to log into the blog. We are learning to lots of the the things that you can on our blog and especially how to create a post and also how to write comments on other peoples posts that are saved onto the blog. We are trying to ask people in our family to look at our blog and leave comments on them so its not just people from room 2 leaving the comments. We need to know all these things if we want to have a blog. We have to make sure we keep it updated with all the things we do in our class or other wise our blog will get very boring. But I know we will.
