Too Many Pears

2V have been learning about the structure and language features of a Narrative. A Narrative has a beginning, a problem, 2 or 3 events, a resolution for the problem and an ending. Yesterday we read Too Many Pears where Pamela the cow has a problem with eating pears. Amy comes up with a great plan to fix Pamela's problem. Do you know what she did?

Making Jelly

Did you know that some materials can be changed into something that has different properties? This week in 2V we conducted a Science experiment to find out what happens when you add boiling water to jelly crystals. The photo will give you the answer - we made yummy jelly!

2V performed "The Light of the World" Liturgy yesterday in the Church for friends and families. As a class we were celebrating the Light of Jesus in our world through prayer and song.

Making Materials Change

Welcome back everyone to Term 4 here at SJV. We've had such a busy week with Swimming lessons on Wednesday, practice for our class Liturgy and lots of class work. On Tuesday we started our Term 4 Science Unit - How do Materials Change? We learnt that materials are what things are made of and can be either natural (rock, wood) or processed (made by people). 2V then spent some time changing materials by cutting, folding, rolling, stretching and shaping. Try the cool Science Game below where you have to group materials.

Jump Off

On Monday all of Year 2 performed a skipping routine for the SJV Jump Off. The Jump Off was part of the Jump Rope for Heart program where we also raised money to help the Heart Foundation.

Raw Art

This week in 2V we had a teacher from Raw Art who taught us about Abstract Art. Abstract Art is a painting using line, shape and colour. Leonna showed us step by step how to make an Amazing Abstract Art using black texta and watercolours. We even splattered paint over our work at the end and the result was some very amazing abstract art!
