Day 6 Grade 2/3 Anti-clockwise letters

Today some people did a whole page of anti-clockwise letters.

We made plans for the garden area near the hot house. Some people suggested we have a garden path, a bird bath, a fish pond, fruit trees and flowers and garden seats.

In our class book, ‘Penny Pollard’s Diary’, Penny didn’t like pretty dresses and didn’t want to visit the elderly people.

Day 5 State Emblems

State Emblems

Today we wrote about ourselves.

We played games about team work. The caterpillar game is where people have to sit on each others lap and try to move.

Spelling rules we discussed – dropping the ‘e’ on the end of the base word before we add ‘ing’ eg. ride-riding

We got badges and ribbons as part of our self reflection on how we are working throughout the day.

Victoria has six emblems they are:

victorianflag The Victorian Flag

 

FLORALEMBLEMThe Common Heath

 

COAT_OF_ARMS The Victorian Coat of Arms

 

HELMETEDHONEYEATER  The Helmeted Honeyeater

Grade 2/3 Day 3 4th FEB 2013

Our Big book toady was a chapter book. The first chapter was about Hugo and he didn’t know who to choose to stay with while mum had the baby.

We worked out how many more days until our Melbourne trip. 28+12=40. Forty more days.

We’re talking about the months and seasons. We can use our knuckles to work out how many days are in a month and we can use a poem.

We had circle time. We decided on our class rules. They are, We have good manners in our class and Safety first.

We have new displays in our room.

Day 2 1st Feb. 2013

Harper got an award for ‘bouncing back’ after he fell off his bike on the way to school.

A nice community member helped him.

We have a display of colors on our wall. Red, blue and yellow are the primary colours.

Red, blue and white are the colours of the Australian flag. Green and gold are the Australian colours and red and yellow are the ‘life-saving’ colours.

We learnt to challenge ourselves when something is easy.

We did activities to do with calendars.

This afternoon we are doing sport.

Have a good weekend.

Day 1 Grade 2, 3 Our First Blog 2013

We started our day at a P12 assembly. We welcomed new students and staff and were wished a good year. We start the day with huff and puff.

We have learnt to keep our room tidy

We are starting to learn about our country Australia and the state Victoria.

The state symbol is the southern cross.

We were given a reminder bag at the start of the day it has a medal because we are all winners, it also has a cloth to soak up knowledge, a toy to remind us to have fun and play after our work, a button to remind us to speak nicely, a sticker because we stick together.

Music

We had music with Mrs Broome, we played instruments and wrote some music, we also have new instruments.

Paul helped us with our first blog.

It was a fun day!
