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.

Lent

This week 2S attended mass to celebrate Ash Wednesday and we were marked with a cross on our forehead. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of  Lent, the 40 days which lead up to Easter. Lent is a special time when we get ready for Easter and it is also a time when we try to become better people by making good choices.

Dance Cart

2S have been participating in Dance Cart this term. It is a fun way to listen to music and to learn dance movements. Not only are 2S dancing every Thursday but they are also preparing for a dance concert towards the end of the term. We can't wait to see what they can do on the dance floor!
