A Puppet Show

WALT create and perform a puppet show. 

Room 10/11 had a great opportunity to create and perform a puppet show from scratch! They had to write the script, make the stage and props such as a butterfly, a cocoon, a caterpillar and different types of foods. They practised for a few weeks and developed their acting and understanding of stage performance. Take a look at Shelly‘s group’s performance. (Please click the title above the picture)

The green, sticky caterpillar 

Setting Description: There is a big green hill with trees on it. In the hill, there is a flowing river where you can catch fish.  

Narrator: Once upon a time there was a butterfly who laid eggs. 

Narrator: 10 days later, the eggs hatched. 

Narrator: The caterpillar spent 18 days eating food. They ate apples

Narrator: The one caterpillar became too fat so he climbed a tree and then found a branch. 

Narrator: He made a cocoon on his body. 

Narrator: 14 days later, the caterpillar came out but he was not a caterpillar, he was a butterfly.

Book Character Dress Up Day!

On Thursday 21 November, Room 10/11 had a fun day dressed up as their favourite book characters. There were princesses, witches, wizards, Hairy Maclary and many other characters from different books! It was great to see the love of reading and making a connection to those characters. Well done Room 10/11 for your amazing effort and costumes! 

Art Show - Green Lipped Mussels!

We are learning how to roll and mould clay to form the shape of a mussel shell and meat.

Room 10/11 have made the Mussel artwork for the Art Show that is taking place in Term 3 Week 9. We observed closely on what features green-lipped mussels have and learned to use clay to carefully mould its shape for both the shell and the meat. After, we used the sculpting tools to show different textures on the mussel. Then we used colours to paint the mussel shell and the meat to create the authentic look! Lastly, we used real sand from a beach to make our background. 

Groupings within 10

WALT know groupings within 10.

We know we can do this when I can find 2 numbers that equal 10. My maths group had to find which person and fish added up to 10 and drew a line to join them. 

Fraction art

WALT use 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 to make flowers and butterflies. 

We have been learning more about fractions and made an amazing artwork using our knowledge of fractions! We drew and cut circles, then cut them again into 2, 3 and 4 pieces to make 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 of different pieces.  Then, we used 1/2 to make the leaves, 1/3 to make butterflies and 1/4 to make the petals. 

Junior assembly

WALT celebrate and share our learning achievement with others

This term, we hosted one of the junior assemblies. Some of us spoke in front of the junior school while others showed our amazing works like cinquain poem and fraction art. It was a great time to celebrate each others' successes and we can't wait to have another day to host the assembly!

Enviro Scholars!

Enviro Scholars!

We are learning to put the rubbish into the right bins.

We have been learning what kinds of rubbish go into different bins like ‘worm’, ‘compost’, ‘plastic’, ‘paper’ and ‘recycling’. We had a discussion of which rubbish goes into which bin and we were able to complete the task successfully as a whole class.

Drawing a portrait of me!

I am learning to draw a portrait of myself.

I know I can do this when I have an oval shape for the head 

and I have the features in the correct place on my face.

Welcome to Year 2!
