Classroom Helpers

Thank you to all the parents who have so faithfully helped in the classroom over the past term.  We really appreciate your help. We will continue with the same times as this term in Term 3 for helpers. Hopefully if you have helped you can still come. If there are any other parents who would like to help please email and we will try to fit you in. 
Friday afternoons are always a great time to help. We will be working on our wonder questions in Genius Hour next term and presenting them on the Google slides. As the students love to research on a wide range of topics, the more helpers the better.

Science Activity - Design a house plan that includes water access to the home

Students in Stage 1 were asked to design a house plan that includes 5 rooms. The rooms are a living room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry and kitchen. The students had to think about how the rooms that need water were going to receive the water. The 3D plan needed to include pipes, taps and anything else to do with water access.

Information Report about Themselves.

Each student completed an Information Report about themselves. They worked on Google Slides. Today they added photos from a USB. The best part of the lesson was the Gallery Walk. The students really enjoyed reading about their friends and looking at the photos.

Learning How to Write Captions

During our Writing this term we have been learning to write Informative Texts. We created a poster about the Cassowary that lives in the Daintree Rainforest. We added pictures, but we needed to write captions to explain what the pictures were about. The students did a great job!

Science and Technology Lessons are Always Fun in Year 2.

We love our unit of learning around the theme of 'Water'. Today we experimented to see how clouds get heavy and then it rains. There has certainly been a lot of rain around so that we can see heavy clouds.






Next week we will be working with Year 1 to create a plan for a home including all the pipes.

HOW DOES WATER GET TO YOUR HOME?

That question was our inquiry today in our Science and Technology lesson. After a brainstorm and a Gallery Walk to see the ideas of other students, it was time to do a jigsaw puzzle. Hopefully the puzzle helped the students to learn. We didn't have time to complete the lesson which was to watch a video about the process. Here it is...


Enjoy these shots of the students completing the puzzles.
