Welcome to the Arohanui Syndicate page, featuring Year 2 children from Rooms 1, 2 and 3.
Room 2 practised hard to get their dance just right and students put in their best effort and overcome their stage fright to put on a show.
It took a lot of practice and here it is. Enjoy!!
This year there were two readings to choose from a reading from St Paul’s letters to the Philippians and a reading from the Book of Numbers. Each student worked hard to prepare their readings.
The reading needed to be clear, confident and reverent.
Our Arohanui winners were 1st Eden (R1A), 2nd Tateama (R3) and 3rd Angelin (R3). Well done to these three and to all who participated. Ka pai koutou.
In celebration of Book Week, Arohanui presented their poem “Saw My Teacher on a Saturday” by Dave Crawley at our Crazy Hair Day Assembly. What a fun week we’ve had focusing on poetry.
Many of us brushed, styled, coloured, dyed, plaited, wigged our hair to create some crazy styles.
Arohanui celebrated spending 100 Days at School! We missed our day to celebrate becoming 100 days smarter because we were in lockdown so we celebrated today in Level 2. What a cool day spent doing Mathematics.
We counted, we sorted, we planned, we grouped, we worked a lone and with others. It was a very busy day.
Wowza !!! What a great start back to school. We had a fun morning of Science with our Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) educators.
In groups, we chose one of the recommended guidelines for keeping ourselves safe from Covid-19 and shared our ideas about an ‘invention’ we could create to help us. After much discussion we drew a design and planned out our idea. We thought about what it might look like if we built it.
Luckily, we had lots of ‘stuff’ to help us explore our ideas and create a model of our invention which we then shared with the class. Such fantastic ideas and inventions.
Room 2 is full of scientists ready to test out their ideas.

This week please make sure that you send in a photo or a video to document your work this week. This way your teacher can confidently mark you as ‘working off site’ for our official records. A photo of you completing a Maths, a Reading and a Writing activity would be GREAT and more than enough.
You all have access to epic! and IXL and your teacher can chart the time you’ve put into both these websites. It’s great to see students using these sites. You should continue to use your booklets and the 20T3W6 Arohanui Distance Learning resource.
This week we are asking that your child interviews you (or a grandparent) and asks, ” What was school like when you were 7?” Please help them write down the answer or make a video to share. You can see an example in the 20T3W6 Arohanui Distance Learning resource.
Have a great week. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
Goretti Meredith, Ann O’Grady and Kelly Skipper
