Yesterday we had no school because it was ANZAC Day. Some people went to the Greytown ANZAC Service. We watched a cat playing the piano as our funny You Tube. In maths we marked our Addition/subtraction maths test.

Then Miss Pearse had to go and help Constable Keely with some technical issues in Room 14, so Mrs Steven's came in and took Room 11 for a game Math Softball.

For reading we continued with our ANZAC reseach and we put our information on ComicLife. Once printed we glued it into our ANZAC BOOK.

This morning we first went into Room 10 to practice singing 2 songs, Is a long way to Tipareree and Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, they were from WW1. We also sung them during assembly.

Tommorow at 9.15am students from Greytown School have been asked to attened the ANZAC service at the Greytown Park wearing their school uniform. This afternoon we made poppies to wear tomorrow. Lest we Forget.

Welcome back to term 2. Today we enjoyed the sunshine. On Wednesday there will be no school as it will be ANZAC day. Today and tomorrow we will be looking at ANZAC Day. We read about ANZAC day and sis a CLOZE reading activity. We used our re-reading strategies to help use select the correct word. During reading Mr MacKay and teachers from St Mary's School came and had a look at how we use laptops in our classroom. For writing we made postcards and wrote about what we did in the holidays. Then this afternoon we made an ANZAC poster with the poem, In Flanders Feilds. Tomorrow we need to remember running shoes and shorts, for Cross-Country training. Our School Cross-country is next Tuesday.

We went swimming, but the water was cold. Miss Pearse's and Mr Preston's groups swam lengths. This afternoon we found out what type of learner we are, some of us were bodily kinesthetic, or visual spatial, or logical Mathematical and there are others. We are continuing to learn about place value in maths and we wrote letters to ourselves about ourselves

A great start to week 2! Today we did spelling and place value testing. We used a tracking sheet to see where we are at, and identify our next learning steps. We didn't go swimming today - but we need to remember our togs tomorrow. We went out for some PE but the bell rang and cut our lesson short. We have been watching Miss Pearse's friend 'Gilby' as he and other cyclists cycle through Arthur's Pass as part of the Kiwi Brevet - check them out here - http://trackleaders.com/kiwibrevet
