THE 2011 GEMS ARE HERE!

We are so excited to join Mrs M in the 2M Learning Neighbourhood.

A few of us have older brothers or sisters who have been a Gem. We have heard lots from them and Mrs M about how we will be blogging about our learning and connecting with classes around the world.

We are very excited to be continuing the conversation and following in the footsteps of four previous classes of Gems by sharing our learning on this class blog, our Writing blog, our Reading blog and hopefully by the end of the term, our own blogfolios like previous Gems.

We are proud to be the 2011 Gems.


 Please come back and visit our blog often.
We want you to be part of the CONVERSATION!

WELCOME TO 2010

Today is our first day in Year 2 and we are very excited to join Mrs M in the 2M Learning Neighbourhood.

Some of us have older brothers or sisters who were amongst the first Gems. We have heard much from them and Mrs M about how we will be blogging about our learning and connecting with classes around the world, so we are very excited to be stepping into their shoes and continuing the conversation as the 2010 Gems.

We were also excited to receive a welcoming tweet from Mrs Knee and the Kinderkids in Deerfield, New Hampshire in the USA.

None of us knew where Deerfield is, so we hopped onto Google Maps to check it out. As you can see, Deerfield is a LONG way away!

If you head over to the Kinderkids blog, you can see the special welcome post Mrs Knee and the Kinderkids made for us.

What a great way to start Year 2! We feel very lucky to have such a wonderful welcome and know, just like the previous Gems, that we are going to love having Mrs Knee and the Kinderkids as our blogging friends.

Our other exciting news is that we are on Twitter and today we put out our first tweet. By clicking on the blue bird on the sidebar, you can read our tweets and follow us on Twitter.

Today is the start of our blogging journey. We don't know where our learning will take us this year but we know the journey will be exciting.
We need YOU to be part of it so...

COME JOIN THE CONVERSATION!

WE'RE BACK!

Words can not explain how excited we are to be back online.

For most of last term, we were unable to blog or do anything online due to very little or no connectivity in our room. 

It has been a very frustrating time for us and Mrs M and we missed being connected. There was so much learning that we wanted to share with you.

We are happy to say that the problems we were having with connecting have now been sorted and we can't wait to get into the swing of sharing our learning with you again.


Welcome Back Comments

So WELCOME BACK  - we can't wait to join in the conversation with you again!

WE'VE REACHED TERM 4!!

Welcome back to all of our readers.

We can't believe that we have reached the last term of the year. It's only a short 9 week term but there's lots happening.


This term we are exploring the concept of change through an investigation into plants.


WE are also excited about being part of VOICES OF THE WORLD again and can't wait to start on our first task.


We will also be continuing with our ROOM WITH A VIEW project. You can watch how our view changes with the seaons on our 2M GEMS and FRIENDS WIKI. You'll also see how the view of our project buddies changes too.


Later in the term we have our whole school Drama presentation - An Evening With Roald Dahl, then swimming and before we know it, it will be the end of the year.
We are really excited about our learning this term, about the conversations we will have and the connections we will continue to make.

Come back to see what we're doing and PLEASE leave a comment because your comments help us LEARN!

WELCOME BACK

The GEMS are back!

Today we started TERM 2.

After a week's break, we came back full of stories of our

holiday activities. We couldn't wait to write all about them

in our writing journals.

Mrs M was glad to see all our smiling faces and have us so eager to continue our learning.

And what will we be learning this term?

You'll have to keep coming back to find out.

So 'WELCOME' again to all our readers.

Remember, we'd love for you to leave comments as you join us on our learning journey.

WELCOME TO 2008

Welcome to our blog for 2008.


The Little Gems are back - but we are not so little any more...we are now in Year 2 and we have some new members!

We had so much fun last year as the 1M GEMS, blogging about our learning and everything that happened in our room. There were many surprises, we learnt how to do things we never thought we could and we connected with people all around the world!.


This is the start of our blogging journey for 2008.
We don't know where we will go but we know the journey will be exciting.
We need you to be part of it so...
