Fozzie Ozzie Mozzie Shing Shang Dong

The votes are in for the Monster Project 2010 and Year 2's came 2nd! The top monster of 2010 is Tololosh-Africa and a Year 5 class from South Africa built this fantastic creature. Congratulations to everyone who helped build our incredible monster. Here is an Acrostic Poem that 2BP made about Fozzie Ozzie Mozzie Shing Shang Dong.

Mushy teeth and smelly breath.
On a jet ski he rides.
Not very scary.
Sky scraper tall and super.
Tomatoe red on his tail and wings.
Enormous, exciting and fun.
Round head and glasses to see.

Moreton Bay Adventure

Yesterday 2BP went on a Moreton Bay Adventure to the waterfront. We started by visiting the National Parks Office and listened to Darren who is a Park Ranger for Moreton Bay Marine Park. Darren told us about how special the Bay is and we saw some great pictures taken by photographers underwater.

Next we explored the waters of Moreton Bay with Mr Mac who told us what lived in the waters of the Bay. He had caught some creatures which we had a close look at using science beakers. We even caught fish on a fishing line and saw a huge mud crab!

Our last place to visit was the Coast Guard and Mr F took us through the building and showed us all the cool vessels that are used to rescue people and boats in trouble on the Bay. He had some great stories to share with us and told us how important the Coast Guard is in keeping everyone safe on the water.

Cubes, Prisms and Swimming

In maths this week we had to try and draw a 3D cube and prism on to a flat whiteboard. We had to carefully follow instructions step by step to draw our shapes. It was really hard but lots of fun!

On Thursday 2BP started swim lessons at a nearby pool. The day was rainy, cloudy and grey but the water was warm. After our lesson we had a little free time and got to go on the waterslide.

Fun with Maths and Monster Project

We have had so much fun in 2BP this week. First of all we went to a Fun with Maths workshop in the library where we played with lots of different maths equipment and games to find solutions to problems.

This week we finished building our monster parts and today we worked with 2R and 2M to put the monster all together. Our monster now lives in the library and we invite you to come and meet him. We are now deciding on a name for our monster and Mrs M has sent his photo into the Monster Project.

Prayer Flags and History

This week in 2BP we learnt about Prayer Flags and we all made one of our own. The class joined their Prayer Flags together and they now hang in our classroom.

In our Unit we investigated the history of the Moreton Bay area. We looked at photographs taken in the past of the Wynnum and Manly area and had to write what we could see. We shared our findings with the class and decided that it would have been fun in the past riding horses on Manly beach and living in a tent on the esplanade!

Our Monster making is going well. Our monster parts are looking great and we are getting ready to join our parts with the parts being made in 2R and 2W.
