Chinese New Year.

Room 4 celebrated Chinese New Year by making drums. First, we learned about the legend of the monster Nian who came out to terrorise villages at New Year. The people of China learned how to scare the monster away with loud noises and the colour red, like our noisy red drums!

Welcome to Year 2.

Welcome to Year 2!

We are very excited to be in Room 4 this year.

Reading to Mum.

I am reading my stories to Mum.  I was really bad at reading because I didn't know the words.  Now I am good!  Next I would like to read some poems.

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 tricky to think of five clues.

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 4, then it would be 4 o'clock.  At first it was tricky to learn the time, but now it's easy.
