Mermaids


This week in our Fantasy Fun Unit 2V have been learning about Mermaids. Did you know that Mermaids are imaginary sea creatures that have a tail like a fish and the body of a woman. We played a game on the computer where we cleaned up the ocean for a mermaid, we put on a tail like a mermaid and jumped around in a jumping sack, we painted a picture of a mermaid and we did a science experiment where we watched mermaids (raisins) float to the surface and sink to the bottom of an ocean. WOW!!!!

Maths, Snakes and Monsters


What a busy week in 2V it has been. We have been hard at work in Maths Groups learning to add two digit numbers. Here's an addition problem to solve - 76 + 22 = ?

In our Poetry Unit this week Mrs B read us a poem about a Taipan in a Frypan and we had to illustrate the poem using the information we had heard in the poem. What great illustrators we have in 2V!

We have been busy talking about monsters all week! We have written a poem about a monster, coloured in a monster for display in the classroom and made a monster out of playdough.

Fantasy Fun

Welcome back everyone to Term 3. This term in our Unit work we are learning about Creatures of Fantasy like monsters, giants, witches, dragons and mermaids. Yesterday we talked about what we already know and what we would like to know more about. Did you know that dragons can breath fire, mermaids can swim under water, witches can be pretty, giants are very tall and monsters can look weird.
