A Year in Year 2: November 2012

http://yearinyear2.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 27 November 2012. An experiment for Santa. On Monday our class received a letter from Santa. Santa told us that Rudolph is sick this year. He has caught a cold and won't be able to help pull the sleigh this year. Santa asked us to find out which surface is the best surface for his sleigh to travel on. Yesterday we did an experiment to find the solution to our problem. We built a model sleigh and tried pulling it across different surfaces to see which would be easiest for the sleigh to go on.

A Year in Year 2: March 2012

http://yearinyear2.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, 29 March 2012. In Australia, we have many symbols of new life that we recall at Easter time. Yesterday in our class liturgy we used eggs, seeds, mealworms, butterflies and the crucifix as symbols to remind us of the Easter story. A special Australian Easter symbol is the Easter Bilby. The bilby is an endandered Australian animal that looks a bit like a rabbit. We want to give our endangered animals hope for a new and better life at Easter too. They have a black tail with a white tip. Our buddie...

Thursday, 18 October 2012. What games did Grandma and Grandad play? Last week we wrote letters to our grandparents and posted them "the old-fashioned way". We asked them some questions to help us with our historical inquiry about how toys and games have changed since the past. This week we have been very lucky to have received a number of replies already. We have been very excited to receive our letters and have been extremely interested in the answers to our questions. What toys did they have? 18 Octobe...

A Year in Year 2: July 2012

http://yearinyear2.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, 26 July 2012. A Perfect Possum Party! On Wednesday we went to a Perfect Possum Party and met some new friends: Madelaine, Karl, and Mrs Muddle-up. It was not like a people party because we did not have party games and party food, but we did learn a lot about being possums! We have learnt to see the world through possum eyes. If you were a possum, what would be your perfect possum place? What might you see, hear, smell, taste and feel? Wednesday, 11 July 2012. Zac made an inference that Mrs Mudd...
