Cuddly toy visitors

This week we have lots of cuddly toy visitors in class. We started with comparing the toys by size. We talked about toys that are tall and toys that are long. We compared how wide our toys are by seeing which toys could fit through a narrow gap. We have also enjoyed reading to our toys.

Reading time with the bigger kids!

We were lucky to have some visitors this afternoon from another room. We enjoyed reading to them and playing reading games with them.

We love writing

We love writing time in Room 13. 

Year 2 Activity Fun Day

Even though we couldn't go to the beach we had a fantastic time doing team building activities at school. The children had to listen, communicate, work as a team and problem solve. We climbed through hopes and threw paper aeroplanes. We built towers from blocks and from paper. We raced like a caterpillar and crossed a shark infested river. We played silent games and animal noise games. In the afternoon we all created some wonderful artwork. Thanks to those parents who supported the children. Everyone had fun!

Beach Trip

Next Thursday we are going to the beach!

Please remember: 

• school uniform
• hat
• water bottle
• morning tea
• lunch

It is a good idea to put on sun screen before you come to school. If you would like to bring a bucket and spade for the sandcastle competition then please make sure that these have your name on them. 

Fantastic Fractions

We have been learning to recognise fractions of a shape. 

We looked at all the fraction pieces and compared the sizes. We discovered that for the same size circle halves are bigger than thirds and thirds are bigger than quarters. We realised that two halves make one whole, three thirds make one whole and four quarters make one whole!  

Silhouettes 2

Here are our first attempts at a silhouette. They are very good. Can you tell what everything is?
