The Whangarei Public Library has asked to display the surreal clock artwork from Room 2 at the school. Room 2 students have been writing reports with partners using their notes. They have also been learning about fractions, volume, and capacity by measuring ingredients to make their own cereal recipe in math. One student, Emily P., wrote a descriptive story about the sea to practice using language that creates vivid images for the reader.

The Sea
The cool waves surprised me as they moved the
shiny shells on shore. It was hard to see the
yellow sand at the bottom of the sea floor. The
colours of the waves were blue and half white
blended in. The splashing waves spread
everywhere as I walked close.
