TERM 4 WEEK 2

Hello there everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful Labour weekend.

Week 2 was again a very busy week in Room 2!  In Maths, the Giraffes are learning about halves so as part of this, they made honey sandwiches during one of their lessons which they then cut in half, making sure that each part was the same size.  And of course they got to eat the sandwich at the end ...

You will have received a notice last week about our collection of quality toys and games to donate to the St Vincent de Paul Society.  This is all in relation to our unit on Mary Mackillop.  We have been talking a great deal about one of her sayings .... "Never see a need without trying to do something about it".  During RE on Thursday, we went outside and put this saying into action!

PUTTING AWAY THE DOMINOES

PUTTING AWAY CONNECT FOUR

WE FOUND A SUNHAT ON THE FIELD SO WE RETURNED TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER.

WE FOUND RUBBISH ON THE FIELD SO PICKED IT UP AND PUT IT IN THE BIN.

We also continued learning about seeds .... Wednesday's lesson was all about where we find seeds ... look how many we found just by what was in my fridge and pantry!!

On Thursday, we investigated what was actually in seeds.  Below are some Pinto beans which we soaked in warm water for 24 hours and then opened them up.  We all found a tiny shoot in our seeds which was beginning to grow!!  Ask your child to tell you all about it as although the shoot was VERY small, we all were able to find it in our own Pinto bean seed!

Finally on Friday we continued our Paper Mache unit by actually paper macheing our bugs.  Thank you so so much to Hayley's mum, Blake's mum and Laura for all of your help - it was a very messy task but it was HEAPS of fun and we couldn't have done it without you!

And look at this!  During TRUMP time after lunch, the children love to create and draw .... the photo below shows what Blake created and what Lily drew of his creation.  Talk about awesome!!
