Another busy week in Grade Two is over. Thank you to all of the parents (and grandparents) who came in to observe during our Open Day. It was great to see so many parents taking an interest in their children’s school life. In language we have been focusing on non-fiction texts and information writing and the students have been putting those research and writing skills to use during unit time as they create timelines of how inventions have changed over time. The timeline slideshows included important details of who and when things were created as well as details about how they changed over time. They also included details about how it had a positive or negative impact.
In math we have been focusing on addition and subtraction skills but also took some time to start reviewing 2D and 3D shapes that we studied earlier in the unit for our upcoming math test. Using cards with images, names and descriptors of 2D shapes the students played a modified game of dominoes.
During ICT time, Mr Huber joined us and helped us get started with the Lego Education and Apitor robot kits! The students were really interested in putting them together and cooperated with the other members of their groups. Once built, they will do some programming to get them up and running!
With the Christmas holidays only 3 weeks away, and the Christmas tree lighting ceremony coming up this Monday we took some time to create and hang ornaments on the tree in the entrance area. Using paper play dough the students crafted snowmen, presents and other festive things to brighten up the tree.
Finally here are some action shots of Grade 2 in action during this week’s PE karate lessons.
