WORD WALL

Today we did Word Wall. Word Wall is when we practise how to spell words. Five people got to choose a word each from the word wall. We chose the words May, got, look, very and like. We did word wall chants to practise how to spell them. We did Scream It/Whisper It and Tiger Bounce. After that we wrote the words on our partner's back and they had to try and guess the word.
We had lots of fun and we think it is a great way to learn our words!

Cicada Shell

I found a Cicada shell attached to a tree. When I found it there was a hole where the Cicada climbed out.

Pass The Pulse

We learnt how to play a game called "Pass the Pulse". To play the game, you have to sit in a cirlce with a group of people and hold hands. You choose somebody to start. They choose which way to pass the pulse. To pass the pulse we squeeze the next person's hand gently and then they squeeze the next person's hand and so on until the pulse gets back to the person who started and they yell out STOP! While the pulse was passed around the circle the teacher times how long it takes.

Our record is 7 seconds with 22 children. The very first time we played our time was 16 seconds.

Our First Day In Year Two

Today was our first day in Year 2. We were all very excited about meeting our new class mates and seeing our new room. Mrs R told us about some of the great things we will be doing. We need to be very flexible because our new furniture has not arrived yet, so we have been working on bean bags, on the floor and at some tables.

Today Mrs R showed us her class blog from last year "4/5R Working Stars" and we made our class blog for this year. We are very excited about sharing all of our learning with others around the world. We made a Voki to go on our blog. We chose a koala because we are from Australia.
