Welcome Back for Term 2


Welcome Back
Happy New Year
Welcome back to term 2!!!
This term you will find this homework plan on the year 2 blog as well as in the diary. There will be links to the various websites the students can use for their learning.
               We welcome two new students to our class this week, 
                           Austin and Aspen. Welcome boys :-) 



Writing a Story 
The children were asked to write a story about a picture of a house.
They had to use their imagination to create a story that told us
what happened behind the doors of that house.








Math
It's time to learn about telling the time! First up, we need to know about; O'Clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past. Later we will be investigating five minute interval times. 
We will also inquire into twenty four hour clocks and digital clocks. 
We will talk about calendars and the amount of time in a day.








U.O.I.
This week we started thinking about science that is connected to this unit of inquiry. The students had to categorize objects into two groups; Things that are living and things that are non living. 
We had a couple of interesting questions during our discussion. 
"Is the sun living?" and "What about space is that living?"
Those questions were investigated as well as the main inquiry.






Study Ladder 
It continues. These students were busy during the holiday period. they were all still very keen to learn even thought they were not in class. An awesome effort people, proud of you!!!




Tennis 
These were certificates gained by the students during last terms tennis E.C.A. congratulations to all of you.




Handwriting 
We are back practicing our handwriting skills this week. This term we will have to always write using joined up writing. 
Yes it will be messy at first but it will improve! 





Here are a couple of videos that we thought you might enjoy of the class at work and play.
