Earth Weeks

 Check out the awesome work that got done over the past two weeks. We learnt lots about the environment and how to save it. There is lots more learning on the students individual blogs as well. 

Week 4 Space Week

Last week was space week and here is all the great work that got done. And there will be even more amazing work to check out with our down to earth theme this week. 

Week 3, Part 2 of Book Week

Today we finish our two week long book week. We had a middle school assembly and saw some great character costumes. Have a look at all of the work we did this week. Then come back next week when we start a new theme for the week, I think it will be out of this world. 

Book Week & Halloween

The first week of our Book Theme is done, and here are screenshots from the work we did. 

Also, did you notice some monster around the place? Well, it was for our Middle School Monster Hunt this week. I hope you found them all, if not here are some hints.

The first week of term 4 our theme was around Loud Shirt Day, with the title 'Bright shirt, Bright Thinkers'. Check our all the great work that went on this week...

Come back next week to see the work from our Book Week. 

Last Week of Term 3

This is week Room 2 has two choice boards that they can pick activities from. Harry worked super hard last week to make a Minecraft choice board, inspired by the activities Mrs Fox gave us a couple weeks ago. Here is a copy of our choice board and so of the things Rooms 2 has made so far.

Rhyming Challenge

 Today in our Google Meet we worked together to complete one of the reading challenges. We made lists of the words that rhyme with Bright, Ball and Send. We thought of 15 words, but some other students went away and thought of even more words. How many can you get?

Our New Challenge

For the last two weeks room 2 has been doing a 'Guess how many' challenge. Every day we had to guess how many items there were in a jar, and we had some great answers, check them out. 

We now have a new daily challenge, called Would you Rather. Everyday students need to decide which option they would prefer and give a great reason why. 

Superhero Masks - Todays Task

Here are some of the Superhero Masks that Room 2 made today. Now we're ready for our SUPER assembly tomorrow. 

Fractured Fairy Tales - Focus Task

 Our focus task for today was to read a fractured fairy tale and then do a comparison between the original fairy tale and the fractured fairy tale. Here were the results. 

Wanted Posters - Our Focus Task for Today

Today Room 2 focused on one of the choice board tasks for the week - to make a wanted poster for a superhero or supervillain. Here are some of our posters.

Passion Project

One of the activities this week for reading was to complete a passion project. Spin the wheel. It will land on a letter and students pick a topic starting with that letter to research. Here are the amazing posters that were made.

Inferring with Receipts - Distance Learning

 One of the reading activities this week was for students to use their inferring skills to interpret receipts and answer questions. Here is a copy of the activity. 

Part of the activity is for students to make their own receipts. 

Can you use your inferring skills to answer these questions made by students?

(1) What is this person getting ready for?              (2) Whose receipt is this?

    

(3) What is this person doing?                     (4) Where is this person going?

   

(5) What time of day is it?                (6) Who is this person buying this stuff for?

   

(7) What is this person getting ready for?         (8) What is this person making?

 

(9) Where is this person going?   (10) What is this person getting ready for?

Add a comment with your answers. How many can you get right?
