WALT Retell What We Have Read

Abbie's Reflection:

"I like reading.  I like reading about Budgies - non-fiction stories because I have one at home.  My mum helps me when I get stuck on the words.  I liked the story about Hatupatu."

Showcase - Wheels Day

On Wednesday 22nd of August, the Year 2 children participated in Wheels Day. We were showcasing another way we could get to school in conjunction with our school Travelwise programme.

Maths - WALT identify 2D and 3D shapes

WAL about Geometry.

We have learnt that "Geometry" means shapes.  

We already knew a lot about 2D shapes so spent most of our time learning about 3D shapes.  We went on a shape treasure hunt around the school and took photo's of lots of different 3D shapes.  Some were easy to find and others were hard but it was lots of fun!  We made shape monsters using some of the shapes we had learnt about.

Abbie's Reflection:
"I liked learning about 3D shapes.  I learnt that an octagon has 8 sides.  It was easy.  I liked the shape hunt because we had to find different shapes around the school."

WAL our Basic Facts

Playing Slide Maths with a friend

Abbie's Reflection:

"Sometimes Maths is tricky.  I liked playing Slide Maths with Ella.  I got 15 out of 30 on my test.  Next time I will try harder to get a higher score.  My family are proud of me."

WALT Choose Words to Make Our Writing More Interesting

The Moon is like a rock because it is gray.

The Sun is like an orange.  It is round like an orange.

Showcase Term 2 - Soccer Skills

This term we had fun with two coaches who taught 

us soccer skills.

It was a little bit tricky learning to control the ball 

as we played against each other in the big soccer arena.

We loved playing Shark Attack because we had to protect our ball.
