Resolution Room

My name is Clare Gow and I am delighted to be the Resolution Room teacher for 2018.

Resolution Room is made up of Year 2 and Year 3 students. We are a class of 20, with just 7 boys and 13 girls.
 
In Term 2 the focus was on "The Arts". We learnt about music and how many counts were in some music notes. We investigated hot and cold colours and mixed primary colours to make secondary colours.

We all practised very hard singing our songs and learning our dances for the whole school production. We looked fantastic on stage in our costumes.

Harold from Life Education came and visited us and taught us how to be kind and how to make friends.

We also went participated in the Rugby Netball fun day in Morrinsville with many other schools. We had a lot of fun and for some of us this was the first time to play these sports.

In Autumn the Gingko tree looses its leaves and we get to make mounds of leaves and romp in them.

Seesaw
This year I will be using an Online Learning Journal for Resolution Room called ‘Seesaw’ which will allow students to share their learning with their family members. I have just created a ‘Resolution Room 2018’ page. 

Wheelie Wednesday—on Wednesday’s your child is allowed to bring a scooter, skateboard or rollerblades to school, covered shoes and helmet are essential.
 
Science was our focus for Term 1. We looked at Flight. Things that fly need lift, drag, weight and thrust. We looked at the similarities between planes and birds. We learnt about propulsion and that it makes thrust to push something forward. We carried out experiments and tried to make things that can fly.

​At lunchtime some of us like to do planting and gardening with Mrs Austin. We like to grow things and look after them because it makes our school environment look beautiful.
 

At the beginning of the term we did some
​self-portraits of ourselves. We learnt about an artist called Modigliani and drew self-portraits like his. They look awesome on our wall!
