The Holidays Are Here!

After a very, very busy Term 2 we started to celebrate the winter holidays which start tomorrow. 2BP started the day with a wonderful Sacred Time and some lovely prayers for a safe holiday. Mrs B made us a 'Winter Fun Booklet' with lots of fun pages in it to complete, we watched a movie - 'The BFG', ate some popcorn and cleaned out our desks. We are now ready for a relaxing holiday!

Mining for Minerals and Paper Person

This week 2BP went 'mining for minerals' in a choc chip cookie. It's amazing how many choc chips you will find in one chocolate chip cookie! We used a very special digging tool to help separate the choc chip minerals from the cookie - a tooth pick!

Students completed a Paper Person in Religion. This paper person was used to illustrate how the attributes of the Holy Spirit are present in someone. Things like love, patience, peace and joy were illustrated on the paper person using words and drawings.

Volcanoes and Trees!

This week in 2BP we made a volcano that erupted lava. First of all we worked in pairs to build a volcano in the sandpit. We then put a plastic cup of bicarb soda on the top of the volcano and added some red coloured vinegar. The volcano ERUPTED red lava!!! In nature this lava would harden and become igneous rock.

Today we celebrated National Tree Planting Day. We worked in small groups to dig a small hole, plant the tree and water it well. Our class trees were planted outside of the Principal's Office at our school and we will continue to care for them so they grow big and strong.
