NEWS TIME

We have had a busy time in 2BP this week. There were 10 words on our Word Wall that we needed to learn how to spell and read. We also played a cool game called "Don't Break the Ice" where you had to remember how to spell all the words on our Word Wall Word - WOW!

This week we also had some fun together during Unit Work. We didn't actually do any writing or reading about our You, Me, Us Unit but instead we just played some games together and had some FUN!!!

News Time was great again this week and Group 3 students had their chance to bring something from home and talk about it with the class. You can see from the photographs above that the things students had were fabulous.

We also started Mathletics as part of our Maths Groups. We are starting to get to know our Passwords and Usernames and how best to work through the activites and games on the site.

WOW - what a week in 2BP!!!!

WELCOME TO 2010

Welcome to our new Year 2 students! What a great start we have had to the new year. Both of us are so excited to have you in our class and enjoy coming to work every day to see you.

This term you will be learning how to leave comments and negotiate the blog before next term making your own blog!

This week you were spectacular in counting to thirty. Our fun activity involved making an echidna with thirty spikes. From this activity we discovered there were a number of ways to show this number.

Lent... This week Ash Wednesday began our Churches season of Lent. You were so great at making a list of things we can give up as a way of thinking about Jesus.

Benny and Fairy Bread

This week in 2BP we had a visit from Benny the dog during News Time. Benny belongs to Bianca and is 45 years old in dog years! WOW and he didn't look that old! To finish off Maths this week we practised halves and quarters by making Fairy Bread. We had to cut our bread slice into halves and then into quarters. Of course to finish off we had to eat it! The last Mystery item from our Display Table was a candle snuff. It was used to put out candles in the old days. Thanks for participating in our Mystery item quizz during the term. We hope that you learnt something along the way about the way we were.

The Stroogle

This week, Author and Illustrator Dr Cameron visited SJV to run workshops with students. 2BP built a submarine by cutting and pasting different shapes and learnt a little about being an author and illustrator. Dr Cameron also introduced us to his exciting range of books including books about creating cool characters and Pie Rats!

This is our last week for our Mystery item quiz. The Mystery item from last week was a washing dolly. This wooden tool was used to mix the clothes around in the washing tub - very hard work. This weeks item has something to do with light. Good luck and leave a comment with you answer.
