Energy Options

Room 2 have been learning about energy. How it works, how it's produced, measured and graphed using fun science experiments. Mr Maple has been our facilitator and has made science exciting and fun. 








Digging the Trenches

As we have been learning about the ANZAC's we decided to dig trenches and pretend we were ANZAC soldiers. We dug our trenches then got our draft writing books and wrote a diary entry about our feelings and what we might have seen, heard and smelt if we were actual ANZAC soldiers. Great work Room 2.













A Special Day

On Friday the 24th of April Saint Joseph's had a special Liturgy for ANZAC day. We had a special guest who talked to us about why ANZAC day is important to New Zealand, especially  on this 100 year anniversary. After our Liturgy we headed outside to view the white crosses and listen to the last post.
