This term our topic is a novel study. We are reading the Owl who was afraid of the dark. So far we heave read one chapter. The first chapter was called ‘Dark is exciting’. Plop is the main character in the story and he is scared of the dark. In the story Plop met a boy who said that dark was exciting because of fireworks in the sky. This inspired us to make our own firework pictures. We did this by creating scratch art fireworks. Kai said that all of the colors that came through were really beautiful.

In Term 2 we have had a football coach on a Friday for PE. This has been great fun. We have been leaning lots of ball skills and we can then put this into practise as we always play a game of football at the end of each lesson. Some boys and girls had never played football before, and they were surprised by how much they enjoyed it!
We learnt how to make a fruit salad in the most exciting way. First we discussed what fruit we would need, and Miss Kidson went to the shop and bought it. Then it was time to make the fruit salad. We had to wash our hands, and some of the fruit. We didn’t wash the bananas because they have a skin which we don’t eat! We then had to chop the bananas, strawberries and apples into little pieces. After that we put the fruit into a bowl, added some tropical juice and mixed it. After this Miss Kidson scooped the fruit salad into tubs for us to taste. It was lovely. Some of the boys and girls in primary 2 had never tasted some of the fruits before.
Some of us even had two tubs of the fruit salad. It was so yummy!
Mrs Boag has been teaching us the colours in French. As it is now Autumn we talked about the colours of the Autumn leaves. We learnt the words for the colours in French. We also learnt a song which helps us remember the colours. We wrote the words on leaves and made a tree display. Some of the primary two children can remember the colours and were able to teach Miss Kidson.
Sophie – Rouge is red
Kaci – Orange is orange
Nathan – Marron is brown
Elise – Vert is green
Esme – Jaune is yellow
We like doing PE in class. We have been using the Go Noodle website to practise our dance moves. We are learning about spatial awareness and how to be safe while exercising. Our favourite video is Pop See Ko. We now know all of the words as well as all of the dance moves. We have also been doing Cosmic Kids Yoga in class. It makes us really relaxed and most of us feel quite sleepy after it.
We are enjoying practising our spelling words in primary two so far. Each week we have a different spelling sound. Some of our sounds have been, ‘ar’ ‘qu’ ‘th’ ‘ch’ ‘ng’ and ‘sh’. On the third week we revise our last two sets of spelling words. When we are practising we write our words using bubble writing, and rainbow writing. We also write our words on whiteboards and use play-doh to make the words. This helps us to remember how to spell the words.
Ross – “I like spelling my words out of play-doh because play-doh is squashy.”
Olivia – “I like rainbow writing because it’s fun.”
Alyssa – “I like doing bubble writing because I like drawing and colouring.”
Ryan – “I like writing on my whiteboard because I like the thick and thin whiteboard pens and the whiteboard rubbers.”
