Term 2 Week 2: Jelly Beans Music

Last Monday, Room 2 were super excited to attend their first Jelly Beans music lesson. Our teacher was Mrs White and she had a lovely assortment of musical instruments for us to experiment with. We enjoyed singing and moving to the beat, as well as playing along to a song about a broken car.

A big Glen Innes 'Thank you' to Skids, who helped to sponsor the programme throughout Term 2. 

We can't hardly wait for next Monday!

We had to oncentrate hard as a class.

But Jellybeans Music was so much fun!

Room 2 eats Mexican Food

We Love Nachos!

Room 2 made Nachos today. They learnt what ingredients went into making Nachos. Everyone loved the corn chips, cheese and beans. They later looked for Mexico on the world map.

Gymnastics

Room 2 loves the Gymnastics sessions provided by Sport Auckland every Friday. We enjoy using the equipment to help us exercise our bodies and are gaining in confidence every week.
Check out our cheeky smiles below!

It's a balancing act!

Story time!

This week, Room 2 were lucky enough to have some stories read to them by Room 10. We really enjoyed listening to the different stories. We hope that some of the children in Room 10 will come and read to us again very soon! Well done Benson, Dau, Piripi, Olivia and Edwina - it's not easy reading out loud to an audience, especially a wriggly Room 2!

. 

Benson read a story called The Gardeners Maze.

They loved Dau's story - It's my bread!

 The girls read longer stories which Room 2 really enjoyed!

Piripi reads a story to Room 2. 

Thank you Room 10! We loved you reading to us. Please come again soon!

Rippa Rugby

Room 2 really enjoyed learning some rippa rugby skills this week. We loved playing the team games. We had to run with the rugby ball, weave in and out of the cones and throw and catch. It was so much fun. Thanks you Mr du Toit for organising the coaches - we had a great introduction to Rippa Rugby!

First day back - Term 1 2019

Term 1, Day 1 2019 - Welcome back to Glen Innes School! As a special treat Mr Hendricks had arranged a bouncy castle for the first day back in 2019. Room 2 simply loved the castle - they could have kept jumping all day long! Waiting for our turn on the castle was the hardest thing.

Here are the girls waiting for their turn ...

and the boys waiting for their turn.

Wow! Look how high Jasmine can jump!

Lego Brickman

We all had a fantastic day at the Brickman show at the Auckland Museum. There was such a lot to see and soooo much Lego to build with. Room 2 really didn't want to leave!

We looked at landmarks from all over the world and got stuck into building.

It was great to see the children so engaged. They just wanted to keep on building!

Have a look at some of the base plates that we made.

We thought our base plates looked cool! What do you think?

There wasn't just Lego there! Room 2 also loved playing with the wheels.

What a magical day out for all of the Junior School and the extra invited guests.
