Drum roll please!!

Well the votes are counted and the results are confirmed. 

Well done to all of the candidates, the speeches were great and made it very hard to choose!

Voting was VERY close but I am thrilled to announce the Room 2 School Councillors are....

Ben M and Emily. 

Congratulations and we look forward to hearing all about the great projects that the School Council come up with.

School Council

At Wakari School we are starting a School Council. In Room 2 we are going to have an election to see who will be chosen. Every person has to vote for at least one person. It is optional if you want to enter the election. If we want to be on the council we have to make a speech in front of the class. Some of the things that we think the councillors need are ....

To be sensible 

To be honest and 

To follow the 4Cs. 

We wonder who will be our councillors?

Don't forget to share them with your family.

Metro Cricket Trials

On Sunday Aryan, Jacob and Jackson went to the Metro cricket trial. It was held at the Edgar Centre from 10:30 to 12:00 . We all played pretty well but Aryan thought his bowling wasn't as good as it could have been. The results were out today. Jacob and Jackson got through it but Aryan didn't.

Respect in Room 2

This term Wakari School are focusing on the value of respect.

In Room 2 today we talked about what respect means to us. 

Then we took some photos of ways that we can show respect to our friends, in the classroom and in the playground. 

I wonder if you can think of any other ways to demonstrate respect.....

Sketching from different perspectives

This term Room 2 are doing picture making as our art topic. This morning we crossed the road and went up the track for a good view of the school to sketch. Some people thought it was easier to sketch the school from on top of the hill because it we were looking down at it.

We're going to use our sketches to create some art work for our classroom.

Our first 'Sports Activator' session for 2012

Yesterday Ginni came to do small ball skills with us. We really liked the cricket game because you had to hit the ball hard and run fast. The hardest thing that we had to do was throw a ball up, clap above and below it and then catch the ball before it hit the ground. Thanks Ginni, it was fun!
