Measuring Capacity

Today in Maths we looked at Capacity. Capacity tells us how much a container holds and is usually measured with a liquid like water, juice or milk. 2S used water and a variety of containers like spoons, cups and icecream containers to measure their capacity. Lots of fun and everyone got a little wet!

Science - making objects change


This week started work on a Science Unit called 'Mix it Up!' We conducted an experiment to see how we could change paper and playdough by cutting, folding, squashing, rolling and bending. It was a lot of fun changing these materials.

Mr Shepard visits


Mr Shephard visited Year 2 today to talk about what it was like to live in Wyvernleigh House as a little boy. Mr Shephard also went to school at St Philomena's Convent and he told some great stories about what it was like to live in Manly's first house as a little boy. He talked about the Model T Ford car that his family owned and the bush that was behind the house where he played after school.
