An orange world and a new place

This week we could start to use the new space outside our classroom. It has wonderful artificial grass and garden seating and also connects to our new Hall building. Munch and crunch time is now spent in this area.

Today we talked about why it is important for people to be different. We listened to Alana's story where her favourite colour was orange and then she dreamt that the whole world was orange! It wasn't very nice at all. 2V then had to draw a picture using only one colour and we talked about how they felt about their picture. Boring, all the same, not interesting and plain were some of the responses from the class. We decided that it is great for people to be different!

Mathletics and Fruit Loops

This week 2V have started using Mathletics as part of Maths Groups. We have been working on activities about Number, playing our games and competing against other students around the world in Live Mathletics.

Today in our Unit work - You, Me, Us - we had fun with our friends. We played a game called Sticky Popcorn and then we had to wear a blindfold and feed each other fruit loops! We each had 10 fruit loops to give to our partner without dropping any off the spoon.

Being Friendly

Today we talked about being friendly. Mrs B put our 'friendly' words into a word cloud - isn't it fantastic! We also made a Friendship Tree by decorating leaves and placing them on a tree trunk. We had to write "I am a good friend." on the leaf to remind us that we are all good friends here in 2V.

Skittles and Circle Time

This week 2V have been busy learning in maths about subtraction or take-away. We played a cool game called Take Away Skittles - look at the photo and see if you can work out how it was played. In our Unit work - 'You, Me, Us' we talked in our class circle about helping and caring. We made a Helping Hand and we did a Y Chart on what caring looked like, sounded like and felt like. Today we tried leaving a comment on our Blog about last weeks Post from Mrs B. Everyone did really well for their first time. Congratulations 2V!

Super Sentences and Stars

This week in 2V we counted in 100's all the way up to 1000 and played a game called Memory where we had to match the number word and number. We also visited Mrs J in the Library where she taught us how to build a Super Sentence. Our Super Sentences were about a cat! In our You, Me, Us Unit we worked together as a team to decorate a star. We each had to take turns and share the work of making our star look beautiful. Mrs B has put them on the wall near our classroom door. Today 2V spent some time on computers exploring this Blog to see it's different parts, read posts and follow links to interesting sites. Next week we will be ready to leave a comment.
