Week 5 -  Swimming Week

This week we travelled out to the Olympic Pools for swimming week.  We had so much fun learning new skills in the water and building our water confidence.  

T2 W3 - Pink Shirt Day, Oat the Goat

Today we ended Bullying Free Week with Pink Shirt Day.  It was wonderful to see the whole school dressed up in pink showing their support for Bullying Free Week.  We read Oat the Goat as mentioned in Ms Adamson's newsletter and talked about how to be a good friend and what we could do if he we found ourselves in his position. 

Earlier this week, we had a special guest speaker from Kids Can visit us and talk about what they do.  Did you know that they fee approximately 32 000 children a week? 

T2 Week 2 - Measuring, Lemons and Mother's Day 

This week, we continued our descriptive writing starting with a whole class language experience tasting lemons.  Scroll through the slides to see some of our reactions! From there we brainstormed all sorts of vocabulary to describe them - sour, zesty, stinging, golden, sweet, citrus, squeezed. 

Over the past few weeks we have been looking at measuring length in non-standard units.  Last week we used paper clips and cubes, this week we used the width of our hands.  First we estimated the length of objects then measured them to see how accurate we were.
