Dance Party

Just a reminder that parents are invited to our Dance Party, this Thursday from 1.20pm - 2.10pm in the undercover area. We will be showing you all the dances that we have learned over the term! We hope you can all make it!

Scitech Excursion

We had the best time ever on our excursion to Scitech! We learnt so many interesting facts about Science and our topic of Forces. We really enjoyed experimenting with all the different exhibits and our lessons about Push and Pull Forces was so informative. Did you know there are many different forces like gravity, magnetic, water and air pressure? Pretty cool hey!  A special thank you to Miss Wisby, Miss O'Neill and Hannah for being such amazing helpers.

Look how much fun we had!

Time

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

My name is Laura O’Neill and I am a Pre -service Teacher from Edith Cowan University doing my six week practicum in wonderful Room 16.

Over the last five weeks in Mathematics, our class has been focusing on telling the time. The Year Two students have an excellent understanding of telling the time using o’clock and half past. We have also been looking at telling the time to the quarter hour and 5 minute intervals. As this is a very tricky concept we would love your support at home to reinforce time telling!

A great way of practising time at home is by asking your child to read an analogue clock at different times of the day. There are also many fantastic online time resources students can use such as the game in the link below:

With lots of practice, I am confident Room 16’s time telling skills will continue improve! 

Assembly

Our class is hosting an assembly, which will be held Friday 18^th of November at 8:45am. Please ensure your child is at their class dressed in their costume by 8:20am that morning. I ask that all parents send their child to class and then wait in the undercover area for us. We will be performing an item based on our love of reading books.  

Your child needs to come dressed up as their favourite book character and bring their favourite book along too. Please ensure these costumes are easy to move around in, as we will be doing a dance! We will be checking costumes on Wednesday, 16^th November, so please ensure these are brought to school for this day.

Children are to bring their school uniform in their school bag to change into after the assembly. 

We can't wait to see you all there!

 

Desk Tidies

Last Friday, as part of our Technology and Enterprise Unit, we designed and created our very own desk tidies out of recyclable materials. First we had to come up with a design that would fit on our desk, hold all of our stationery and be made from the correct materials. We then had to collect all the materials we needed to create our desk tidies. Once our labelled plan was finished we could then start constructing our desk tidy. Have a look at our finished products! They turned out amazingly!

Super Scientist Winners

Our Super Scientist Winners!

A huge congratulations to all the incredible Year 2s of Room 16 for the ginormous effort that you all put into your Science presentations. I learnt so many incredible Science facts and your explanations about your experiments and presentations was outstanding. Well done!

A special congratulations to Phoebe and Jonathan, who were the Super Scientist Winners from our class. Phoebe did a magnificent presentation about the Solar System, and even had a hand made model of all the planets. Jonathan told us how to grow a crop in great detail, which was so interesting. He also bought some wheat in for us to see. Impressive work Phoebe and Jonathan!
