This term we have been working hard and having lots of fun doing Science. We’ve learned about materials and their properties. We have designed and made mini umbrellas, which we then tested by pouring water over them. We were very happy to discover that most of them worked really well and came up with ideas of how to improve the ones that didn’t work.

We have talked about living and non-living things. We are able to tell what the features of living things are and sort them into different categories and explain our decision.

We have also looked at the examples of forces (pushing, pulling and twisting) in the classroom and in the playground, predicting how applying more or less force would change the speed and direction at which objects moves.

Today we watched a clip of Hansel and Gretel and then we wrote sentences about the different characters. We described what they looked like, their personality and what they did in the story! 

We love using our creativity and imagination to make stick pictures during play!

Today we created our very own odd and even monsters! We had great fun cutting out the arms, legs and some of them even had horns and tails!

Today we learned about describing words and used them to write sentences all about monsters! We are becoming more independent with our writing every week.

Watch out tomorrow for our odd and even monsters we will be making in Numeracy :D!

Some of our wonderful work since starting back in August!

Some of us have been learning about the language of maths this week. We used karate maths and highlighters to help us! 

P2.8 are very interested in insects so we decided to use our fine motor skills to make some bugs out of play doh!
