I was learning how to share equally. I can share out and count how many group I made.

Using repeated addition for multiplication

My reflection

I was learning how to do multiplication by using repeated addition. I enjoyed doing this activity because I  now know how to solve multiplication sums.

Welcome to 2020

I am in Year 3.

My teacher is Mrs Marais.

It will be an awesome year.

Looking after our Koha Garden

LI - We are learning to look after our environment by adopting a koha garden

We have been very lucky to have Mrs Robertson, the gardening guru, with us this year. We have been learning how to weed and water the garden. We also learnt how to grow vegetables from our koha garden. We grew many kinds of vegetables - kale, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage and more! We made kale chips and spinach dips and tried some of our vegetables fresh!

Freddy the Fish

As part of our Under the Sea inquiry, we explored the affects of pollution on sea creatures. 

Freddy the Fish was a happy fish swimming through the clean water. He noticed that the ocean was starting to change, the water was getting warmer and there were more obstacles in his way.

Freddy swam through... soil from erosion, fertilisers, run off, salt, acid rain, oil from cars and rusty metal. Freddy was not well. We realised that he won't survive long in the sea with all these pollutants contaminating our oceans. 

Narwhal Inquiry

For part of our Narwhal inquiry, we have had an in-depth look at the physical features of the Narwhal as well as its habitat and what it eats. 

Everyone was asked to make the Narwhal our of playdough and write about the process of making the Narwhal, and including all the features. 

Take a look at my creation! 

Science Experiment

Miss Runciman ran a science experiment with us. We wondered how sharks were able to stay afloat and move in the ocean so freely. 

We put water and oil in a small jar, shook it up and saw that the oil rises to the top. 

After some research we found out that a shark’s liver is full of fat and oils and that is how they manage to stay afloat. 

Check them out! 

High Tea Mug Design

After our amazing High Tea experience in Room 8/9. We designed 3D mugs to go with our writing piece. 

This is my story about the experience:

Quiet in the library

We are learning to enjoy the library 

Room 8 love going to the library to get books out every Monday morning. We are good at keeping quiet, reading quietly and putting books away correctly. 

Shhh... quiet in the library! 

My Self Portrait

I am learning to draw a portrait of myself. 

Room 8 has been working on their self portraits this term. 

We started off by sketching ourselves without any direction. We then drew ourselves with direction from the teacher to ensure all our facial features were in the right place. After we were happy with our entire sketch, we outlined in vivid and coloured using water soluble pastels. The pastels turned into paint after water was added. We chose a pair of sunglasses to wear in our portraits.  

I can draw all the facial features in the correct place. 

Our work looks beautiful! 

Welcome 2019

Welcome to my Year Two blog! My teachers this year are Mrs Watson (R8) and Mrs Lim (R9). I am looking forward to learning lots this year!

Kelly Sports.

We are learning to throw and catch on Tuesday mornings at Kelly Sports, 

with Coach Cameron.

Who Am I?

We had to tell about ourselves.  I had to think about me and what I look like.  Then write down the words and they are the clues.  We put them into a book so that other people can read them.  They have to think about what person it might be.  It is mystery to solve!!  It was easy for me because I am clever!!

Origami Art Show.

WOW!!  LOOK AT MY AMAZING PAPER FOLDING!!

Telling the Time.

At Maths time I was learning to tell the time on a clock or a watch or a phone or on the ipad.   On this clock here, the big hand is on the 12, and the little hand is on the 3.  This means it is 3 o'clock.  If I change the little hand and it points to 10, then it would be 10 o'clock.  If I change the big hand to the 6, it would be half past 10.  At first it was tricky to learn the time, but now I know the time!

Reading Eggs.

I am doing Reading eggs at school and at my house on the ipad.  I can match the picture and the word has to be the same.  I need to hear the sounds.  Next I want to do more lessons and I can get clever!

Year 1 Skipping Day.

Here I am jumping over the long rope on our skipping day.

Writing New Words.

We are learning to read and write new words by thinking about the end sounds of the words.  I had a little walk in the room and then I put these words on the laptop.  It was easy for me because I have the words and I see the words on the wall.  Next time I would like to do a d and an e and an f at the end.
