Welcome to Year 2
This December Year 2 got together with Year 1 to put on a excellent show called Eddie the Penguin Saves the World. Eddie noticed that the ice was melting in Antarctica. When he and his family travelled North to the North Pole they found out from the Polar Bears that the ice was melting there too. What could they do?
Luckily Eddie knew exactly what to do and he took his family all around the world teaching the humans to take care of our wonderful world.
Look at our pictures and see the amazing scenery and costumes made by the fabulous Ms Edgar, Mrs Wilkinson and the team...kindly helped by the parents of course.
Can you spot our brilliant narrators and the penguins and polar bears? Look out for the school children who learnt that they should walk, skip, cycle or even scoot to school.
You'll also find the lumberjacks who learnt to plant trees instead of cutting them down and the Prime Minister of Australia who taught the country to recycle by singing Eddie's special recycling song.
Thanks to DJ Johnny and DJ Donnie who introduced Eddie and the Penguins on the radio.
Here are some more of our lovely photos. Who can you spot in them?
Marvellous Me Workshop
Our topic this term has been Marvellous Me. We have been learning about the many ways in which we are all marvellous. Some are marvellous singers, some marvellous writers, others are marvellous at sports and still others are marvellous at many other things, including being a good friend.
We all have marvellous bodies and we learnt more about these in our body workshop.
Some of the things that we learnt were:
1. We have five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. We were surprised to find out that our sense of touch comes through all our skin, not just our hands. We investigated our sense of touch using our fee
t.
Our taste of smell is closely connected with our sense of taste. Here are some of us investigating taste...and observing our tongues.
We found out more about our sense of hearing and how we can identify things by the sounds they make even if we can't see them.Here we are listening carefully to sounds
.
We know that our eyes give us our sense of sight. Did you know that the pupil opens and looks bigger in darker conditions. This is us finding out about our eyes.
Where would we be without our skeleton? We'd be floppy and we wouldn't be able to stand or move about. We found out lots about our bones.and how important they are.
We have lots of things about us that are the same...but we are all unique. We are different sizes, have different colour eyes, hair or skin. Every single person has a unique set of fingerprints. Here we are identifying some things about our bodies that make us...US!
