Fitness is Fun!
The junior team have been practicing for the cross country event at Williams Park on the 26th May. Here are some photos of us stretching and running. We love fitness in Room 2!
I.C.T.
This week we got into pairs to practice our co-operative and word processing skills. We took turns to type our name using a capital letter. We typed a capital letter by pushing the shift button at the same time as the letter. After we wrote our name we used the Letterland software to practice using our letter of the week in different ways. Here are some photos of us using the laptops.

Inquiry "Where's the Water?"
We are learning to identify the different form water takes
First I put my wet hand on the paper towel then there was a picture of my hand. Next I waited a while. Then the water evaporated. It dried up. Then I put it in my book bag.

Rain Descriptions
We are learning to write descriptions about the rain. We had to use our senses to describe the rain. Here are some examples.
RAIN
The rain sounds like a thunderstorm on top of my roof. It tastes like water and ice. It looks like lots of gumdrops falling from the sky. It smells like lots of little cakes.

The rain looks like tears falling from the sky! The rain makes a splash when I jump in it. The rain tastes like fresh water. The rain smells like nothing. The rain feels like goo.

Tsunami drill
On Tuesday the 5th of May Muritai School did a Tsunami drill. At 10:00 Mr Skilton rang a long bell. We walked up the Mckenzie Road track. The year 7 and 8s had classroom numbers that we had to sit behind. We got up the track and in our lines in only 7 minutes! It was very well organised.

We went to the Dowse. Maui tried to escape the fire but it got bigger and bigger and bigger. Next we looked at the ballet dresses. There were lots of other dresses. One of the dresses was Cinderellas. It was beautiful because it was made from white silk. Finally it was time to go back on the bus to school.
