A Puppet Show

WALT create and perform a puppet show. 

Room 10/11 had a great opportunity to create and perform a puppet show from scratch! They had to write the script, make the stage and props such as a butterfly, a cocoon, a caterpillar and different types of foods. They practised for a few weeks and developed their acting and understanding of stage performance. Take a look at Caitlyn's group’s performance.

Little cute caterpillar 

Setting Description: Snowflakes are falling down at night time and a snowman is there. 

Narrator: One day a caterpillar came out of an egg (The caterpillar wiggles out of the egg). 

Narrator: The caterpillar was hungry. 

Narrator: The caterpillar ate a strawberry. 

Narrator: On Wednesday he ate an ice-cream, lollipop, apple, 2 fish and a big leaf. 

Narrator: Then he ate an egg, chocolate and candyfloss. The caterpillar ate too much food so he had a stomach ache. Narrator: The caterpillar then turned into a cocoon (Caterpillar changes into a cocoon). 

Narrator: After a few days later, the cocoon hatched. 

Narrator: Then came a beautiful butterfly. The end!

Book Character Dress Up Day!

On Thursday 21 November, Room 10/11 had a fun day dressed up as their favourite book characters. There were princesses, witches, wizards, Hairy Maclary and many other characters from different books! It was great to see the love of reading and making a connection to those characters. Well done Room 10/11 for your amazing effort and costumes! 

Art Show - Sea Lions!

We are learning to draw a sea lion.

Room 10/11 have made the Sea Lion artwork for the Art Show that is taking place in Term 3 Week 9. We observed different features and postures of the sea lion and learned to draw it step by step to make our own sea lions. Then we made our background by blending different shades and tints of blue. We also made rocks by scrunching up some brown paper. 

Number bonds to 20

WALT know bonds to 20

In maths, we have been learning to find the bonds to 20, looking for the sets of two numbers that make 20. It was tricky at the beginning but we used different materials like connecting cubes and counters to figure the problem out. 

Poetry Recital

I am learning to read and recite a poem in front of the audience.

In Year 2, we have been learning many different poems. We had to choose a poem that we liked and had time to practise it in class and at home. 

We had to work on the following:

- Body Language and Eye contact - Standing still and looking at the audience. 

- Fluency - Speaking at a medium pace. 

- Clarity - Making sure we are speaking clearly. 

- Preparation - Knowing my poem when reading it. 

- Volume - Making sure I am talking so that everyone can hear me. 

Junior assembly

WALT celebrate and share our learning achievement with others

This term, we hosted one of the junior assemblies. Some of us spoke in front of the junior school while others showed our amazing works like cinquain poem and fraction art. It was a great time to celebrate each others' successes and we can't wait to have another day to host the assembly!

Enviro Scholars!

Enviro Scholars!

We are learning to put the rubbish into the right bins.

We have been learning what kinds of rubbish go into different bins like ‘worm’, ‘compost’, ‘plastic’, ‘paper’ and ‘recycling’. We had a discussion of which rubbish goes into which bin and we were able to complete the task successfully as a whole class.

Drawing a portrait of me!

I am learning to draw a portrait of myself. 

I know I can do this when I have an oval shape for the head 

and I have the features in the correct place on my face.

Welcome to Year 2!
