=== **Welcome to Room 2B's Wiki.**  A show of teeth for Cultural Day!   ===

Term 3 -

Mr Clown did a special show this morning for all the year ones and twos. There were balloons, batons and bendy magic wands. We laughed and laughed and laughed at all the funny tricks he did. Lucky Jerry and Cheyanne; they got to help Mr Clown and Cheyanne was given a heart balloon and Jerry a wand. We hope it doesn't bend, Jerry!
