Lately a group of Room 15 children have decided to clean up Arahoe School by picking up rubbish! This is what they collected one afternoon. Great job guys!
We are a class of year 2 students who are based in Auckland, New Zealand. We love learning, creating and sharing on our class blog. Please take a look around our blog and leave us a positive comment. We look forward to hearing from you!

Building the new classroom
Yesterday Mrs Sutton's Yr3 writing group came and read us a story they have written about the new classrooms being built at Arahoe. We liked how they had put the words in different places around the page. We learnt funny sounding new words like 'dumpy'.

Harakeke Flowers
We have been learning about harakeke (flax) and today we made harakeke flowers by folding the harakeke over itself.
We made sure that when we harvested the harakeke from the plant we didn't cut the centre leaf ( rito or the baby), the leaves
around it that are the awhi rito (or the parents - awhi means to embrace) or the
outside leaves which are the tupuna (grandparents).
We cut the tupuna leaves.
Garden Visit
On Wednesday we visited Zach's house as part of our 'Green
Fingers' topic. His street was part of a special initiative where fruit trees
were planted all down the street and at the reserve down the bottom of the
street.. When we arrived at Zach's house we walked past strawberries, figs and
grapes to his backyard where we saw many different fruit and vegetable plants,
a worm farm and his pet chickens. At the end of our visit we were surprised
with fruit kebabs to eat!

Welcome back Roscoe!
A special welcome back to Roscoe who accidently got scratched by his dog while playing with her. We were very worried about him. He was very brave and even had to have an operation and get stitches! He came back to school today to show us a photo of him in hospital. Glad to have you back Roscoe :)
Solar Eclipse 14.11.2012
On the 14th November the moon passed between the Sun and Earth and we saw it!! We made pin hole cameras and went out side at 9:18 to see the shadow of the moon in the Sun. As we wrote about it in our books we had the live streaming playing on the projector. We were very excited to witness such a special event!
