The Metre, the Bay and a Birthday










Welcome back everybody to Term 4! 2BP started work straight away as we have a very busy and action packed 9 weeks of learning.

This term we are learning about Moreton Bay: Then and Now and will be looking at how this marine environment has changed over time. This week we began by reading some information about the Quandamooka People who were the Indigenous people who first lived in the Bay area. Did you know that Dugong was a favourite of the Quandamooka People? They ate the meat roasted and used the oil from the fat to rub on their skin.
In Maths we learnt how to measure a metre using wooden rulers and rolled newspaper as long as a metre. Can you believe that our classroom is more than 9 metres and our bookshelf is less than 1 metre!

Today we celebrated Mrs B's birthday which will be on Sunday the 10th of the 10th 2010! She shared some very yummy cakes with us and we sang 'Happy Birthday' very loudly. Thanks Mrs W and Ella for baking and bringing the cakes to school.
