Stand Up For Poverty

Today in 2BP we are all dressed in white to show our support to end POVERTY! Our school registered on the Stand Up and Take Action site and today we will all meet on the playground to repeat the pledge to end poverty now.

This week in class we also continued our work on The Way We Were. We learnt the parts of a friendly letter so that we can start to think about writing a letter back to Mary L from 1948 telling her what school is like for us now. The two mystery items from our display table have been aprons and a record - well done to those of you who guessed right. Ask Mum or Dad how these items were used. This weeks item from our display of old things is a hard one. I even had to check to see what it was used for! Good luck and leave a comment with your answer.

The Way We Were

This week in 2BP we started a new Unit of work for Term 4. This term we are looking back at our history and The Way We Were! We have investigated what travel would have been like in the 1800's using the Cobb & Co Coach Company and we have received a letter from Mary L who went to our school in 1948. Our classroom has a display table of old wares that we are bringing in from home - it looks fabulous! Here is a picture of one of the items on our display table. Do you know what it is and what it was used for? Leave a comment with you answer.

WELCOME BACK

What a wonderful break we had but it is wonderful to be back and see all our wonderful friends in 2BP. This term is going to be absolutely great fun as we look back at how things once were. Keep checking the blog as there will be some very interesting items to look at and try and work out what they are... Do you know what these things are that are hanging on the clothes line? Please tell us if you know what they are and what they are used for!

Happy 4th term

A Visit from Ted and the Rainbow Fish

This is our last week for Term 3 and we are all looking forward to the holidays. Jordan bought his dog, Ted to visit in News Time on Wednesday. Ted is a Highland Terrier and is four years old. He has just had a hair cut and he was very well behaved when he let the children pat him.

This week we finished our Friends Program where we have been learning about friendship skills. The class listened to the story about the Rainbow Fish and we made brightly decorated scales. We were only allowed to keep one scale and we had to share our other scales with classmates. There was such great sharing in our classroom!

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Plant Experiment and Fathers Day

This week in 2BP we started a Science Experiment. Working in small groups we planted some Mung Bean seeds on a bed of cotton wool and placed them around the classroom. Each group chose one variable to change - either the amount of water, food or sunlight. All other variables were kept the same and this makes it a 'fair test'. We have predicted what we think each of the containers will look like in 14 days time and we start collecting data on Monday. We can't wait to see what happens!!!

2BP would like to wish all Dad's a very Happy Fathers Day on Sunday. We hope you like the card and bookmark we made in class.
