Our class for 2014

This week 24 new students started in Year 2S here at SJV. It has been a very busy week where we have organised our books, met our classmates and learnt a little about what Year 2 will be like.

Sciencentre Excursion

Today the Year 2's travelled by train to the Sciencentre at Southbank. We moved objects with our mind, turned invisible and watched a life-like robot. We got hands-on with everyday science and discovered that Science is everywhere!

Christmas Card Competition Winner

Nicholas from 2S entered a national Christmas card competition recently, and he came 2^nd!  The competition was for 7-12 year olds. Please see the link for a view of Nicholas’ entry, the judges comments on his art, and information on his prize which includes getting his art work professionally printed onto Christmas cards. WOW Nicholas - congratulations from 2S!

Making butter

Today in Science we observed how one of Earth's resources can change and be made into another resource that people can use. We used cream, a container with a lid and lots of shaking to change cream into butter. The best part of the experiment was eating the butter we had made on a cracker.

Rememberance Day

Remembrance Day is on the 11th of November each year and helps us to remember the ending of the First World War  in 1918. Each year Australians observe one minute silence at 11 am on the 11th of November, in memory of
those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.
