Statistical Investigations In Room 2

In Room Two we have been carrying out statistical investigations. We have been collecting information about ourselves and using the information to learn how to sort and display data on graphs. When we have made our graphs we talk about the information we can see. 

Ka rawe Room Rua!

Welcome to Room 2 in 2015. 

We have started the year learning about our school charism. We are called Good Shepherd School, so we found out all about the Good Shepherd in the Bible. We made this mural of the Good Shepherd looking after his sheep and Jesus looking after us.  

The Annunciation

In Religious Education we have been learning about Mary. We read the story of the Annunciation fromLuke:1 in the Bible and acted out the parts with a partner. When we looked at paintings of the Annunciation over hundreds of years, we found that there were some elements that were in most of the paintings, including Mary, the Angel Gabriel, the Dove who represents the Holy Spirit, a prayer book and white lilies for purity. We drew pictures of the Annunciation and included all these elements. Can you find them in our pictures?

A Memory Game

Room 2 learnt a poem called Kim's Game. The poem tells you to lift the cover on the tray for 3 seconds then try to remember and name all the 6 objects you can see. At the end of the week we made our own tray and found magazine pictures for the six objects. When we had finished we played our own memory games with each other. 

                                          

Algebra Snakes

In Room 2 we have been learning to make a pattern, repeat a pattern, display a pattern and talk about a pattern. We chose 2 colours of multi link cubes and made a pattern. Next we repeated the pattern. We used our patterns to make a snake. Now when we look at the snakes we can talk about the patterns we can see.
