Week Two

Week two saw us learning and practising new routines. 

We have worked on finishing our vivid and dye Rainbow Fish. Which we are looking forward to cutting out and hanging them up in our classroom. 

We also came up with different ways to describe the Rainbow Fish's behaviour
 these included... 
mean, nasty, horrid, awful, 
unkind, terrible and horrible. 

Thank goodness the Rainbow Fish saw the error  of his ways and changed his behaviour, so that other fish would want to be his friend. 

We also learnt to define the meaning of 3 words in our story of the Rainbow Fish.

Advice is to give someone your idea or knowledge.

Discover is to find something out.

Emerged is to come out from somewhere.

Our first week in photos

First assembly of 2016

Planning for writing with labelled pictures 

We got a special visitor - 'Strike' the Guinea pig, came to visit all the children of Room 8. He was very popular too! 

We started using our class iPads to take photos of each other, but mostly of Mrs Blau. We learnt an important lesson. If you accidentally put your finger over the lens, your finger ends up in the photo! Oops!! 

Mrs Blau read us The Rainbow Fish story. We discussed being kind and how sharing can make us feel good, as well as happy, just like the Rainbow Fish. Then Mrs Blau taught us how to draw a Rainbow fish. We did a pretty good job, using shapes and lines. We had to get the proportion right, so it would fill up the page. Lots of maths and drawing learning was done by all. Spatial awareness is very important and we definitely learnt that while drawing our fish. This is stage one of our project. 

Welcome to Room 8, 2016

We are a Year 2 class that is eager to share our learning with the world...

We are looking forward to sharing photos of some of the learning we are going to be doing in our class this year. As well as some small videos and uploads from apps that we will be using throughout the year on our iPads.
