Sun Safety, Whales and Probability

Welcome to Room 2's Blog. It's been a great couple of weeks and we've done a lot!

On Monday of last week we went to Te Papa to see the whales exhibition.

We split up into three groups; one group went on a tour of the exhibition first and the two others went to look around Te Papa.

We got to go inside a life sized whale heart!



In the exhibition we learned that whales, dolphins and porpoises are all related. We also learned that whales send out signals that hit solid objects and bounce back to them.



It was a great day and we all had lots of fun. We are now working on a mini project on whales.

We have also been doing an Inquiry on being Sun Smart which we have also been writing about.. We had three main expert groups; geography, ozone and U.V.R. Now we are working on our posters.

We have started a new maths subject called probability and are learning about it now.

It was Laura's birthday the other day and her mum Carol brought in a cake and some rings and bracelets for everyone in the class!


Laura had a lot of fun and we love our gifts! Thanks Carol!
