China Inquiry

Room 2 has continued with their China Inquiry this week. Each one of us chose an area of interest for our inquiry. The topics we have chosen are Olympics, The Great Wall of China, Daily Life in China, Swords and Police in China. We are learning how to use the Internet to search for information and to decide whether the information we have found is appropriate for us. We keep asking ourselves if we understand what we are reading.
When we find a website we can do the 5 finger test - if there are more than 5 words in the first paragraph that we don't understand, it is probably too hard for us to understand. Next week we will be learning how to take notes from a website or a book.

Who am I?

Hello everyone,
today during reading time we made up "Who am I?" quizzes about well-known fairytale characters. We had to give three clues, the first one had to be very general. The second one could be more detailed but should still not give away too much information. The third clue would then be very specific.

Can you guess who this one is about?

I live in a forest.
I have to stay in bed because I am sick.
I get eaten by a wolf.

What about this one:

You can eat me.

I have buttons on my tummy.

Ginger is part of my ingredients.

Can you post a harder one for us to figure out?

Room 2 is ready to blog!

Kia ora,
this is Room 2's classroom blog. It is very exciting to learn about blogging, and I am sure that the children will have lots of fun doing it.
Have fun reading our blogs and feel free to add your comments.
