Welcome back to Term 3. We all had a lovely holiday and are well rested. We are looking forward learning lots of interesting things this term.

 We have read Dougal the Garbage Dump Bear because this term we are learning about recycling.

We have also been learning the states of Australia. We live in the state of Western Australia.

Outside with science. We are learning about natural and processed materials.

We also had a visit from the Constitutional Office of Western Australia. The lady's name was Jackie. She had some cool puppets. She read us a story and we acted it out with our puppets. We also had a chance to vote.

Term 2 Week 5

On Tuesday, we had some very unusual guests visit our classroom. Can you guess who they are?

Our practise for our assembly item continued all week. However, on Ms H let us take a break one afternoon to kick the football on the oval.  Some of us chose to play in the sand instead. It was great fun.

Finally Friday came and we were presenting our assembly item Waltzing Matilda. Everyone was watching, and we were dressed up in our Australian clothes. We sang really well and had lots of fun too.

I apologise as we are unable to upload the video at this time.

Please enjoy watching our assembly item.



Term 2 Week 4

Learning Waltzing Matilda

Our class was very busy learning 'Waltzing Matilda' for our assembly item.

We even sang it outside in groups, and we sang it on the basketball courts. We sang it everywhere, until we knew the song without looking at the words.

The highlight of week three was of course our excursion to Waterfall Gully Farm. The Year 2 class would like to thank Mr S and Ms G for allowing us to visit their farm and for making it an awesome day.

We found a skull with horns.

We had a great day at the farm. We climbed hay bales, rocky hills, fed animals and collected chicken eggs, just to name a few things. Everyone had so much fun and we also learnt a little about life on a farm. We were all very tired by the end of the day. Thank goodness for the weekend.
