Fractions, Sorry Day and Graffitti

It has been a very busy week in 2V. We have been learning about Fractions in Maths including halves, quarters and eighths. We made Fairy Bread which we then cut into two equal parts and then into four equal parts or quarters. Of course the best part was eating our bread!

On Thursday it was National Sorry Day and 2V presented their Prayer Assembly to the whole school. We prayed to God to help us to be kind to all people and we sang a song about being one nation.

Today we used a big piece of paper as a graffitti wall to publish all of our learnings from our Moreton Bay Unit. We could use words or drawings to present what we had learnt. We are now getting ready to write a Persuasion about why we should protect Moreton Bay.

Fair Share and Moreton Bay

This week in 2V we have been busy learning about Fair Share in Maths. Did you know that this is how we start to  learn about how to use division in number sentences. We shared pop sticks, plastic animals, counters and blocks to help us learn how to divide.

We have also learnt more about the Moreton Bay environment by looking at books that have stories and photographs about the history of the area. Yesterday we spent some time on the Library deck looking out over the Bay and writing down what we could see. We then watched a great video clip about Moreton Bay and discovered some amazing facts. Did you know that Moreton Bay is 3400 kilometres wide and has lots of people who visit the area from overseas.

Moreton Bay Explore

On Wednesday 2V went exploring Moreton Bay with 2S and 2J. Mr Mac also came along to help us learn some fantastic facts about the Bay and some of the creatures that live there. It was muddy and so much fun!

Mothers Day

2V have been busy making a special present for Mum's this week to help celebrate Mothers Day on Sunday. We hope that Mum's like what we have done and get great use out of the present.

Today we did some dot paintings of dolphins and turtles as part of our Unit work about Moreton Bay. We have been learning about the Quandamooka People of Moreton Bay and how they lived in the area and used the Bay as a source of food.

We wish all Mum's a wonderful day on Sunday.
