So much LEARNING in Year 2...

Today we engaged again with the wonderful book, 
THE RED TREE by shaun tan. 

The students changed the story from a negative one to a positive one. We thought of as many words to describe happy as possible and then we looked up the Thesaurus to help us with MORE synonyms...

After that we tried to create a picture like shaun tan.  We thought about adding cut out words to go with a happy picture. We searched magazines to find words, phrases or sentences that would explain our pictures. We collaged the words on to the pictures. Here we are with our efforts. We are very proud.



We have been growing beans. Here we are looking at the progress. We drew labelled diagrams - just like real scientists.


Year 2 is also studying the life cycle of the Helicoverpa Amigera. 
Today we realised that the pupae have now changed into moths. We investigated these moths and then practised creating life cycle diagrams.
