Paper Aeroplane Flying

In Maths this week 2BP learnt about numbers to thirty and length. Today the class had a challenge to design a paper aeroplane that could travel the furthest. Mrs B's aeroplane looked really good but didn't fly very well at all. There were lots of different designs and styles and after a few test flights we took our planes outside for the final test. Some planes actually flew backwards but Oliver's plane won the challenge when it flew the furthest.

Caring for Others

This week in our Unit Work we talked about caring for others. Each student had to bring a toy animal from home and it became their 'pet' for the day. Students had to introduce their pet to the group by giving their pet a name and saying what they would do to look after it. Have a look at our class pet photo - don't they all look so HAPPY!

We also talked about the differences between a toy and a real pet and what else we would have to think about to keep people safe and happy.

Our Playground

In Religion this week our class talked about what a 'GOOD' playground would look like, sound like and feel like. With our teachers help we created a Wordle. We thought of all the words that we could that would represent a playground that felt, looked and sounded right. Lots and lots of great words were generated by thinking out loud. Take a look at our Wordle and see what we come up with. Well done 2 Big People!

A New Class for 2009!

It's a new school year and 2BP has welcomed twenty-four new class members to its room. We have only been at school for a week but already we have set class rules, unpacked all of our new books for the year and made some new friends. So far we have learnt our numbers to twenty (20), days of the week, O'clock times, read a great class book called "The Horrible Holiday", added our first five words to our Word Wall, completed four pages in our Sounds Right, Reads, Write book and seen how Reading Groups work in the classroom. Whew!!!! Homework and News Time start next week and today Mrs Bednall showed the class how News Time works. Our Stamp Books are filling fast with reward stamps for good choices and hard work. Some students are very close to having ten stamps - the exact number you need to have a pick from the PRIZE BOX! Stay tuned for more exciting news during the year from 2BP.
