Pacific Mamas at VAS

On Tuesday the Pacific Mamas visited the Junior Syndicate.
We learnt about their customs and culture, through weaving headbands, dancing, drumming and listening to traditional legends. It was a great morning, full of fun, laughter and learning.

China: Using Chopsticks

As part of our Inquiry study this term, we are learning about how children live in other countries.
Kai, Vanessa, and Alexis worked with groups, showing the children how to use chopsticks.
It is a very tricky skill to master!
Well done everyone for giving it a go and not giving up!

Art: Maui and the Sun

We have been reading lots of legends about Maui.
He was an amazing boy: fishing up New Zealand, changing into birds, designing fishhooks, bringing fire to the world and slowing down the sun.
After we read Maui and the Sun, we wrote about him and drew the sun using chalk pastels.
It was very messy and there was dust everywhere, but, WOW! Aren't the results amazing!
Come into Team 10 and have a look at the rest of our Maui Suns.

Welcome to Room 10's Classroom Blog.

We are a lively bunch of Year 2 children from Victoria Avenue School, Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand.
