Room 2's Vege Patch

Kia Ora bloggers!

We wanted to show you our little vege patch outside our classroom.

This is what it looked like before:

We had a lot of weeding to do in our garden patch before we could start planting. So here are some students from Room 2 plucking out the weeds, preparing the patch!

With all our vege patch almost done, we decided to add some beautiful pink flowers to add a POP of colour ! 

Our vegetable patch has: silver beet, broad beans, broccoli and cauliflower. 

And of course our pretty pink flowers (which are not edible!)

Here is our finished garden - What do you think?

At first, a lot of the students didn't want to do the gardening, they were just going to stay inside and do some school work because they thought getting their hands dirty was a bit yucky - but when they saw the students that were outside, gardening having so much fun, they all decided to join in. At the end of our gardening block, everyone had a lot of fun and they wanted to do more gardening!

Have you ever tried something for the first time and hated it, but the more you did it, you end up really enjoying it and having fun? What was it?

Let us know in the comments!

Some Sweet Moves

Room 2 wanted to share on our class blog what we do every morning for fitness to wake our bodies up and get it moving before we start learning for the day.

The video shows most of Room 2 students dancing along to "How Far I'll Go" from the Movie Moana, we used the Just Dance video that is available on Youtube!

Look how enthusiastic and excited everyone is!

What do you think of our dancing?

What does your class do for fitness? Do you have any favourite songs you like to dance to?

Wash Your Hands!!

This week Room 2 is learning about Personal Hygiene in health!
We learnt that washing hands is VERY important!
We loved learning about this because now we know how to keep ourselves clean and healthy.
When do you think is the best time to wash your hands?
