THE GLOBAL MONSTER PROJECT

We had lots of fun working together to create our monster for the global monster project. We have sent our photo to Mr Smith at Monster Central to show everyone what our finished monster looks like, we have yet to give it a name. Do you have any suggestions? Leave a comment with your suggestion. All the year 2 children decided that it looked more like a boy than a girl and maybe it should have the word Aussie in its' name.



We spent last Friday morning(29 October) putting our monster together and this was the first time that most of us got to see what some of the other body parts looked like because the other 2 classes were making them.



Our teachers helped us put all the parts together and we were amazed at how it looked when it was all completed. We were very surprised that none of the parts had to be altered or changed in any way to fit together. That must mean we really thought about the part we were making and we collaborated really well with others who were making the other parts.



We made a onetruemedia to show who made the different parts and putting it all together!

OUR MONSTER PROJECT

Our monster for the Global Monster Project has finally been made. We were so excited this morning when we got to see all of the body parts made by 2M, 2BP as well as our own class. Mrs R, Mrs M, Mrs B, Mrs J, and Mr S with the help of Caitlin's mum, had to be very creative when we put all of our parts together to create what we think is the BEST MONSTER IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!!! We were very surprised at how well all the pieces were able to fit together without any alterations. Mr S set up the video and the Macbooks to record the construction process. Have a look at a snippet of what we did. Keep updated with all the other monsters by checking them out at www.smithclass.org/proj/Monsters/index.htm and click on Monsters 2010.

FUN WITH MATHS

Today (26/10/10) we went to the library for an Incursion to do fun things with maths. The person who helped us was called Greg. First we got a partner to work with, then we sat on the floor and listened to Greg's instructions. He asked Lathan and Jack to volunteer to show everyone how to do the chain activity. The chain activity was when you and your partner were chained up with two chains and you have to try and untangle yourself without taking the velcro wrist bands off, it was very tricky. At the end Mrs M and Mrs R showed us how to do it and it took them 3 seconds.

There were 30 activities, some were called Skyscrapers, shoes, pick a wand activity, the marble race tower, different kinds of puzzles, making a cage for T-rex, number puzzles, weighing activities, treasure search activity, train activity, building the same castle as your partner without looking and the landing pad. These activities were called PROBLEM SOLVING ACTIVITIES. We found out that problem solving was tricky but lots of fun if we WORKED TOGETHER and TALKED with each other and GAVE SOLUTIONS to each other. We found out that there were lots of different ways to solve the problems.

OUR MONSTER ACROSTIC POEM

In class we wrote a MONSTER acrostic poem. An acrostic poem is when you use the letters of the subject or topic of the poem to begin sentences to describe the topic. Mrs R showed us a picture of a monster and we came up with words (adjectives) to describe what it looked like and how it moved. We then chose the adjectives we liked the best to write our poem.

Mouth is like a dark cave.
Oval shaped, lime green body.
Noisy like a trumpeting elephant.
Stomps so hard the ground cracks.
Tiny, flat, yellow teeth with green gums.
Enormous, aqua coloured eye on his forehead.
Runs so fast it is a blur.

In pairs we chose a picture of a monster and wrote our own acrostic poems. You will start to these on our blogs and we have made a class Acrostic Poem book about monsters.

THE GLOBAL MONSTER PROJECT

Our grade 2 classes decided to sign up for the Global Monster Project. The project is about working collaboratively with other people around the world to build a monster. First we had to choose a body part that we wanted to describe, then we came up with 8-12 words to describe the part. We described the ears. Now all of the classes have to build the monster by HALLOWEEN (29 October). After we build the monster we will take a picture of it and send it to the monster project site. Everyone in the project votes for the best monster.

Our monster is going to live in our school library.

We are looking forward to participating in the Monster Project.

COUNT US IN

Today our school took part in MUSIC, COUNT US IN. Children from Prep to year 12 all over Australia joined in singing the song PLAY YOUR PART. We sang this song to let everyone know how important music is and how much fun it is.

COME PLAY YOUR PART

Year 2 here are the words to Come Play Your Part, the song we are singing on Thursday for Count Us In.

It's your time, what are you feeling?

Making Bread

In class we have been investigating how our food gets from the farm to the table. We watched a youtube video explaining how wheat is harvested and how they then turn the wheat into flour. First the farmer grows the wheat. Then it is harvested. After it is harvested it is stored in silos ready to be transported to the flour mill. After it arrives at the flour mill it is cleaned and ground into flour. Then it is packaged. Finally the flour is transported to shops and bakeries ready to be used.

We then watched a youtube video to find out how bread is made.

After watching these videos we made bread in our classroom with a bread maker.

First we had to put the yeast into the breadmaker, we then added the flour and finally the water. We turned the breadmaker on and left it cook for 3 hours. The yeast helps the dough to rise.

The smell of the cooking bread in our classroom made our mouths water. After it was cooked we had to let it cool before we could eat it. Mrs R cut up the loaf so we could eat it. We all agreed that it was very yummy.

THIS WEEK IS BOOK WEEK

This week is BOOK WEEK. It is a whole week set aside to celebrate Children's Books. At school wek have been doing some activities based on some of the short listed Children's Books. The Year 2's did Shumann the Shoeman.

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

We also had a book week parade. Everyone in the school dressed up in their favourite book character. Everyone looked fantastic. Each class paraded in front of the other classes and a prize was given out to the best dressed person in each year level.

Here are the characters we dressed up as.

MICHELLE TAYLOR VISIT

Michelle Taylor came to our school on Wednesday 25 August. She writes all kinds of different poems. She gave us some great hints about how to write great poems. Michelle Taylor told us that she gets great ideas from her children, schools she visits and from the world around her. She writes all her ideas in a journal. She said that she has about 20-30 journals. She told us two important things about poems, they were short and you needed good describing words.

She wrote here favourite words on rocks and kept them in a collection and wrote titles on pieces of paper to help with her writer's block.

COUNT US IN

Count Us In is on again this year and we need to practise the song. Count Us In was an idea to help show how much fun music is and how important music is in school. We are busy practising the song that every school student will sing on the same day at the same time all around Australia. Year 2, to help you practise the song I have put the song into our document box. All you need to do is click on the song and it should play straight away.

MAKING ICE-CREAM

This term we have been investigating where our food comes from and how it gets from the farm to our tables. We looked at the production chain for milk. We watched a youtube video that showed us what happens to the milk after the cow has been milked.

OUR EKKA EXCURSION

On Thursday 5th August all the year 2 children went on an excursion to the Brisbane Exhibition (Ekka). The Ekka is a carnival that goes for 10 days every August. It is when people from the country bring their animals and produce to the city to be judged and to promote their region. There are lots of things to see and do at the Ekka. We went because we are learning about where our food comes from and how it gets to the supermarket.

We caught the train at 8.43am and got to the Ekka at about 9.45am. When we got there we sat down and had our morning tea. after morning tea we went off with our parent helper to see the cows, animal nursery, lambs being born, milking cows, the produce pavilion, and the government pavilion. After seeing all of these things we met up for lunch. After lunch we went off again with our parent helper to the showbag pavilion. We were allowed to buy one showbag up to the value of $15. After we bought our showbags we met outside the showbag pavilion before we caught the train back to school. We got back to school at 3.15pm. We were all very tired but we had a great day and saw lots of new and interesting things.

See what we got up to on this Flixtime video http://flixtime.com/video/detail/dc273ec761f6702b66e18cc65e8f9e09S5fH4mTRnXiCEusUt6/

SJV DAY AND WALKATHON

On Wednesday 4th August our school celebrated Saint John Vianney's Feast Day. John Vianney was a priest who lived in France over 150 years ago. He worked in the town of Ars. He talked to the people and taught them about God and Jesus. He was their Parish Priest for 40 years. After he died the Pope decided that John Vianney should be made a saint for the great work that he did in Ars. He became a saint on 4th August 1928. As part of our school's celebration we had a walk-a-thon in the morning then we went to Church for a school mass. After lunch we were put into groups that had children from prep to year 7 in them and we did 6 different activities. The activities were organised by the parents. We did Lob-a-choc, drawing on canvas, butterfly making, jumping castle and tug of war, cake decorating and matching the pictures of the teachers. It was a fantastic day and we thin our parents are great for organising it all for us.

SPORTS CARNIVAL

On Wednesday 21 July we had our school sports carnival. It was held at Villanova Park. It was the first time we used our new house colour names. Gold is Collins, Blue is Nagle and Red is Kennedy. We all took part in rotational activities. Our activities were Novelty Relays, High Jump, Ball games, Tabloid Games and 80m Sprints. We earnt points for our team when we completed in the different activities and for great cheering when we were sitting in our house colours. We all tried very hard but on the day Kennedy was the winner.

CHECK OUT OUR LITTLE VISITORS!!

Here is one of the pictures.

HENNY PENNY HATCHING PROGRAM

Today the chickens arrived from the Henny Penny Hatching Program. There are three chickens already hatched and they

are in the play pen under a light. The incubator has 14 eggs in it and one chicken that hatched this morning but it isn't ready to go into the chicken play pen.

The eggs with the pink stamps will hatch first, then the blue stamps, then the ones with purple stamps and finally the ones with the green stamps will hatch last.

The chickens are in our room because we are learning about how food gets to our table.

OUR KANDINSKY PICTURES

In Numeracy Block we were learning about different types of lines and shapes. Mrs R showed us some art work by a famous artist called Wassily Kandinsky. He was an abstract artist and he painted pictures using different types of lines and shapes. He would use thick lines, thin lines, diagonal lines, vertical lines and horizontal lines. He also used a lot of different shapes both 2D and 3D shapes with lots of bright colours. We learnt about these different kinds of lines and shapes and we tried to include these in our Kandinsky style pictures. Mrs R used ONE TRUE MEDIA to show our great work.

Group 4's Noun Groups

Today in reading block, group 4 read THE ECHIDNA AND THE SHADE TREE. It is an Aboriginal Story told by Mona Green. It is a story that tells how the echidna got it's spikes and why it shuffles when it walks. We found noun groups in the story and put them in a voicethread.

Group 3's Noun Groups

Today in reading groups, group 3 read the Aboriginal Story HOW THE BIRDS GOT THEIR COLOURS. We found some noun groups in the story. We put them on a wall wisher.

DAVID AND GOLIATH

Another story we have read during our religion lessons is DAVID AND GOLIATH. We decided it was from the Old Testament because it mentions God not Jesus. We thought that the message was to Trust in God and He will protect you. We also thought that David was a "BULLY BASHER". Someone who stood up to bullies. Here is a YOUTUBE video of David and Goliath.

NOUN GROUPS

Today Group 1 read an Aboriginal story -HOW THE KANGAROOS GOT THEIR TAILS.
They looked for noun groups.

Sam found "Short armed kangaroo"
Jack found "Big armed kangaroo"
Kane found "Good tucker"
Ethan found "Handful of spiders"
Lathan found "big kangaroo and little kangaroo"
Adam found "long legs and short legs"

We also found "plains kangaroo" , "hill kangaroo", "big kangaroo"

SKYPING WITH OAKRIDGE LOWER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Today we skyped with Oakridge Lower Elementary School. They live in Muskegon, Michigan in the United States of America. They are in grade 2 like us. Their school has grade 1, 2, and 3 only. Their school has one big building with two hallways. They have a gymnasium that they use for PE and breakfast. They showed us a picture of their playground and they have a fort called The Castle because it looks like a castle. We thought it was AWESOME! When we listened to them we noticed that they talk with a different accent to us. In their school they had a computer lab and they go for lessons there twice a week. We found out that they have pets like us. Some of their favourite sports are soccer and baseball. We found out that every morning they say a PLEDGE but we don't. We sing our national anthem. They asked us to sing our national anthem for them.

They told us that they had animals like squirrels, foxes, raccoons, wolves and chipmunks.

It was fun skyping with the children in Muskegon and we can't wait to skype again!

The Story of Zacchaeus

In class Mrs R told the story of Zacchaeus. We talked about how Zacchaeus was not liked very much because he stole from the people. Jesus forgave Zacchaeus because Zacchaeus knew he had done the wrong thing and wanted to be forgiven. This is a you tube video about the story of Zacchaeus.

OUR FIRST SKYPE CALL

Today we had our first SKYPE call with 2M. They are in the classroom next door to us. We skyped with 2M as a practice for tomorrow when we skype with a grade 2 class at Oakridge Lower Elementary School in Muskegon, Michigan. 2M gave us some helpful hints for when we skype.

• Don't call out
• Look at the camera when you speak
• Sit still
• Be sensible
• Speak clearly into the microphone.

OUR MOTHER'S DAY LITURGY

This term we did a Liturgy in our classroom to celebrate and pray for Mary who was the mother of God as well as our own mothers because May is the month that the Catholic Church devotes to Mary. We wrote prayers to thank God for our mothers and to bless them and keep them safe. We also wrote down on a paper flower why our mothers are special to us, we stuck this on a banner during our Liturgy. As part of our Liturgy we made a little movie to tell our mums why we love them. Mr S helped us to do a green screen and edit our own part of the movie. Some of our mums couldn't make it to our Liturgy so we decided to put it on our blog so that they could see it and so our Dads could see it too.

WHEN 2 VOWELS GO WALKING

During word study we have been looking for tricky parts of words in our word observations. One rule we have talked about is WHEN TWO VOWELS GO WALKING, THE FIRST ONE DOES THE TALKING.

Year 2, I have found a song that will help you to remember that rule. Leave a comment and tell me if you think this will help you remember that rule when you see those words.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

NATIONAL WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL DAY

Friday 7th May was WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL DAY. All schools around Australia took part in this event. It is held to encourage children to actively travel to school. Children and their parents met with teachers at different places near our school at 8.00am and walked together to school. We got to school at about 8.15am and when we got to school we received a sticker and a snack for breakfast. We got a bread roll, piece of fruit and a fruit juice popper. It was lots of fun!

JESUS FEEDS THE 5000

Today in class we read the story, Jesus Feeds The 5000. It is a story that is found in the New Testament. Mrs R read the story to us and we discovered that it was a Miracle Story. A miracle is when you can't explain how it happened. We talked about what happened in the story and what we think the story meant.
We know that stories are told for many different reasons. It could be to entertain us or maybe to teach us something. We decided that the story of Feeding the 5000 was to teach us something. We think that the story was told to teach people the importance of sharing what they have with others so that no one misses out.
Mrs R found the story on youtube.

OUR TIME WORDLE

In Class this week we are learning about time. Today we did a brainstorm of all the things we already know about time. Time words, how we tell the time, parts of a clock. We came up with lots of different things, so Mrs R knows now what we already know about time and what things we still need to learn.

We made a WORDLE to show some of the things we already know. What do you know about time?

SUPER HERO DAY AT SJV

On Friday the 30th April, SJV was over run with Super Heroes. We had Batman, Spiderman, Fairies, Caped Crusaders and The Incredible Hulk, just to name a few. Why did we have Super Hero Day??? We had it for Lachlan in Prep who is in hospital because he has leukemia. Everyone got to wear a super hero costume over their uniform and we brought in money donations for Lachlan's parents. The money will help to pay for petrol and parking because they have to go to the hospital every day to be with Lachlan. He has to be in hospital for 6 months!

In class we talked about why the theme "Super Heroes" was chosen. We decided that it was because Super Heroes are brave and strong and always come to people's rescue and save them.

Some of us forgot, so in class we made Super Hero masks, utility belts and wrist bands from cardboard.

If you could be any Super Hero who would it be and what special powers would you have?

ANZAC Day

On Wednesday our school took part in a ceremony to commemorate ANZAC Day. 4/5L led the ceremony. We listened as they told us why ANZAC Day is so important to Australians and New Zealanders. Mr Kinsella spoke to us about the importance of ANZAC Day and we stood and paid respect to all the soldiers who have died during war and all those who have fought or are fighting in wars, while the Last Post was played. We then listened as Mr L read out the Ode. After that we watched a film clip that showed photos and movie footage of ANZAC soldiers in various wars.

The letters of ANZAC stand for Australian, New Zealand, Army Corps. ANZAC Day is the 25th April. It is special to Australians and New Zealanders because it was on the 25th April 1915 that the ANZACS first entered World War I. They landed on the beach at Gallipoli in Turkey at 4.28am on the 25th April 1915. Many soldiers died trying to get to the beach and safety. Because of the efforts of those brave men we remember all of those people who fought and died in all wars. We especially remember the Australian soldiers who are in places like Afganistan and Iraq, fighting to protect others. We think all these people are true heroes!

Leigh HOBBS

Today Leigh HOBBS came to our school. He is an Australian author and illustrator. He writes children's picture books and chapter books. He wrote books called Horrible Harriet, Mr Chicken goes to Paris and

Old Tom. He taught us how to draw the main characters. His drawings are very funny. He showed us a pilot for Old Tom. Have you read any Leigh HOBBS books?

Here are our drawings of Old Tom, Horrible Harriet and Mr Chicken.

OUR NEW FURNITURE

It has been a very exciting week in 2R. We had our Dance Cart performance on Monday and on Tuesday our new furniture arrived! We have been very patient all term and our patience has finally been rewarded. We were using some old desks and chairs from the back shed as well as using some tables and chairs from Prep.

We can sit at Mrs R's desk and work if we want to,we can sit on stools or at the big flower shape or even by ourselves at an individual table. Our new furniture is pretty cool and we love coming into our room everyday because of it.

THE EASTER BUNNY VISITS 2R!!

We were all very excited when we came back from PE today. When we got to our door we saw some white footprints leading from our door into our classroom!

The EASTER BUNNY visited us and left some chocolate eggs in the easter baskets we made!

Good Friday

Good Friday is when Jesus died on the cross.

The crowd decided to let a murderer called Barabas go free and crucify Jesus. The Roman soldiers put a sign on the cross to make fun of Jesus. It said "Here is Jesus , the King of the Jews". Jesus died at about 3pm and his body was taken to a tomb.

HOLY THURSDAY

Holy Thursday is when Jesus had the Last Supper with the disciples. After the meal Jesus and the disciples went to the garden to pray. Judas betrayed Jesus and told the Roman soldiers where Jesus was. The soldiers arrested Jesus.

Dance Cart

Today our school took part in our DANCE CART PERFORMANCE. This term each class has been working on a dance with the DANCE CART Team to perform at the end of term. The theme for our dances was AUSTRALIA. Our class and 2M performed a dance to a song about our beach culture. Some of the boys were dressed as lifesavers, some of the boys were dressed as surfers and all the girls were dressed in red and yellow skirts. 2BP performed a different dance. Their dance was about the Aboriginals and Ullaru.

Our parents came to see what we had been working on and the new skills we had gained during the term. It was lots of fun and we can't wait until Dance Cart comes back again to work with us.

PALM SUNDAY

Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week. Holy Week is the last week of Jesus' life. On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem. The people were waiting to see Jesus. Some people put their coats on the road and other people waved palm leaves and shouted HOSANNA!

OUR PALM SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSEMBLY

Year 2, we are combining with year 3 to perform our Palm Sunday Assembly for the School. We will be doing this on Tuesday afternoon in the church. Tomorrow we will practise with the other year 2s and the year 3s. We need to learn a song for the Assembly, it is called HOSANNA! SHOUT HOSANNA. I have typed the words for you and have uploaded the song into our Document Box. Just click on the song and it should play straight away. You can practise the song while you are reading the words on our blog.

Hosanna! Shout Hosanna!
All praises to the King
Hosanna shout Hosanna!
With one voice let us sing
Blessed is He who
comes in the name of the Lord Our God
Blessed is He who
comes in the name of the Lord Our God

Sent into the village before Him
There just as He had said
A donkey with her colt nearby
Were brought unto the king

Riding into town on a donkey
Crowds gathering to see
Laying down the path before him
All welcoming their king

Written in the words of the Scriptures
One day would come a king
Telling everyone the Good News
To Jesus now we sing.

BRAVE HEARTS

On Thursday 25th we went to a special show put on by BRAVEHEARTS. At the show we learnt about different feelings we get when we are happy and sad and scared. We also learnt that we should RUN AND TELL SOMEONE when we get bad feelings about something or someone.

Some of the bad feelings we get are butterflies in the tummy, racing heart, stuck in the mud feet and jelly legs. Ditto came to teach us all of these things and we got an activity bag we a booklet we could colour in and talk about with our mums and dads.

Word wall

like We our word wall chant because it is fun. The teacher holds the word wall chant's out then five people get picked .The boy and girl that get picked put the word wall chant up on thewhiteboard then we do the word wall chant and spell the word.

The word wall chant we like is "The 'Chicken".

Patterns

In class we learnt there are three different kinds of patterns.The three different patterns are the repeating patterns, growing patterns and circular patterns. A repeating pattern is when you repeat your design. A growing pattern is when you count your patterns one, two three or three, two ,one. A circular pattern is when you do rings around rings.There are elements that you can use and they are number, shape, colour and size.You can say alphabet instead of saying your pattern like green, red, green, red you could do abab.

Earthquakes

We are learning about Earthquakes and we have found out that there are four layers of the Earth . The names are the crust mantle outer core and the core . There are special plates that
make up the crust . and the plates are called Tectonic plates . We also found out that some
countries live on the crack of the plates so when the plates get stuck as they rub together make
earthquakes . By Ella

St Patrick's Day

On the 17th of March it was St Patrick's Day because he died on the 17 th March.

The Pope decided he would be a saint like all the other saints because he taught people about God.He knew that lots of people didn't know about God.When he was 16 he was kidnapped by pirates and taken to Ireland and was a slave but he trusted in God and escaped from them and went back to England. He became a priest and went back to Ireland.

By Ciaran

2R'S WILDSELVES

We made our own wildselves for our avatars. We saved them in our folders and then we put them in a Smilebox. It was fun and we think it is a great way to get our avatar. Can you guess who our last 4 wildselves are?

Another scrapbooking design by Smilebox

The Math Monster

We have been having lots of fun taking our new class member "The Math Monster" home each night to do a maths task with him and our family. Each day we will add a voicethread for each person who takes home the Math Monster. Last night James S took home the Math Monster and he taught the math monster how to count to 10 in Dutch. We recorded James on a voicethread counting to 10 in Dutch. We noticed that some of the numbers in Dutch sound the same as when we same them in English. Can you count to 10 in another language?
