Adventures around town!

We've had such a full week in Room 2 this week with our education taking us all over town!

In Maths this week we have been learning all about capacity.  Sally gave us the challenge of designing a container to hold the greatest volume of popcorn using just one piece of A4 paper.  As you can see there was a great variety of capacities between the containers!

On Tuesday all the senior students were involved in a Winter Tournament against other Nelson City Schools. Totara students were involved in Netball, Hockey, Miniball, Volleyball and Ripper Rugby. Above are the Hockey Players.

Yesterday we visited the Maungatapu Murders Exhibition at Nelson Museum.  Thanks to Nicki who taught us more about this historical event that took place nearby.

To top off our adventures around town yesterday a group of students who had been involved in the Bike Inquiry Group went mountain biking up the Codgers Mountain Biking Track. We had lots of fun exploring the tracks and then at the end testing our skills on the jumps!

Week 8!

Well we've had a week of much variety in Room 2. Check out some of our highlights below!

This week in Maths we have been learning all about measurement, particularly about area and perimeter. We kick started our topic off with a paper plane contest.  Ryan's aeroplane was the winning one flying 17 metres!

On Wednesday Ruben, Ruby and Max represented  our school in the Inter-School Ski competition. Well done to the team who placed third and Ruby who placed second in the Primary Girls age race.

On Wednesday we had our Totara Trading. There were a lot of fantastic stalls on display where we could earn our Totara Dollars that we had earnt throughout the term

On Thursday Rosie brought in her pet goat Ponyo into visit. It was just eight days old and super cute!  Thankfully it was wearing a nappy as otherwise we would have been caught out!

Speech Finals

Well done to Floss and Sylvie who made it through to the Totara Syndicate Speech Competition. Both Floss's speech on the future and Sylvie's about Dreams were exceptional.  You can view them below.
