Today we spent the morning wandering our space - we turned it into the NATIONAL ART GALLERY of LZ2.


We then shared back to the space why we had moved an stood next to the photo or art work.  We had to share what we were attracted to, why we did or did not like it and anything that captured the mood we were feeling.


Once we shared back, some of us looked at the work from a different point of view - we hadn't seen some of the designs in the images that the other children had seen!


Monarch Madness!

We have more monarch butterflies are hatching everyday now! We have named them...Greenstone, Manaaki, Bob, Chrystal, Lavender, Ryder (Ms Ryder named that one)!







Monday Week 6

This morning Isabell was chosen as the first of our Values Hall of Fame children to wear the first of our 3 kahuhuruhuru (cloaks). These cloaks are covered with material feathers that were designed and decorated by the children of LZ2 to represent the School Values, and values that are important to us as individuals. These children, are able to wear the kahuhuruhuru anytime they like for the week (except in the playground - they are far too special for that!)





SWAN PLANT INTRIGUE!

This morning, Miss Harman had brought in her swan plants from home. These fascinated us. We noticed that there were 2 back chryslis'. Shortly after school began this morning, one of these hatched right before our eyes - and then the second hatched aswell! We felt very lucky to have seen this happen. Check out the photos below!

Science fair/display Week 9 - Term 3 In Week 9 of this term, there will be a school wide Science fair/display to showcase what the children have been investigating this term. We have individual questions in the pipeline and some children have already taken it upon themselves to start researching at home! Some of the questions the children have created, may have an experiment element and could be done at home over the next few weeks, to help test their theories! As part of the display, we would like our children to present their individual investigations on a Science board.  The purchasing of the Science boards is optional, but preferred.  You may wish to investigate as follows  Warehouse stationery , Office Max or Educational essentials.  Boards range in price from around $10 - $14.00. If you are unable to purchase the board, we will provide your child with paper at school for their display. If you are purchasing a Science board, please can these be ...

Week 2 WALT organise our ideas in a plan before we write. Our teachers read us a story called ‘Forgotten at the beach’. It was written from the perspective of a jandal that was forgotten. We used this as our inspiration to write about some of the items that sometimes get forgotten at school. Pencils, hats, rubbers, shoes! Rowan's What, Where, Why and Emotions plan, and writing about Mrs Campbell's lost bag. As a group we brainstormed how we want our teachers to let us know when are showing APPROPRIATE actions. THESE INCLUDED: Dojo points House points Writing in our books Say nice things to us Stickers / prizes / certificates Games outside Email our parents We also thought about how they can help us when our actions are INAPPROPRIATE. A quick drink A quick lap around the field Email our parents Morning Tea/Lunchtime inside to think or have some space Talk to us with a respectful voice (not loud) ...

A collection of writing from this week

  Mrs Campbell's class completed descriptive writing about our pencils this week.  They are titled 'The Unwritten' and they are all about the limitless world that lives inside of our pencils.  Enjoy our incredible ideas... The Unwritten Inside this pencil is mysterious words that we know but some we don't. Some are from the future and some are from the past.  Inside this pencil are words that only some secret animal species know. Every word you write makes the lead inside your pencil smaller, until it's gone.  Every pencil in the word is like this.  By Millie Ross The Unwritten Inside this pencil hide words lying distraught. Words never been thought; love, hatred aswell as more time and effort while reaching the end of the dark, making lots of new words along the way. It's as good as candy, hooray. But it's not the pencil that's magic, it's you! Time to understand, every pencil in the world is like this.  By Leila Kanji The Unwritten Inside this penc...
