Music and Drama lessons
Science - We began our unit about Living Things. I presented a seed to each child and asked them what it might be. Some ideas were; a nut, a seed and a coffee bean. I told them it was a Runner Bean seed and we were going to grow them. We tried to use magic to get them growing which didn't work. Vivian thought it was because I had not attended Hogwarts to learn any spells. We decided they needed water and sunshine to grow and the children were surprised to learn they didn't need any soil. We placed a test cup inside the cupboard which we will still water but it won't get any light and one in the sunshine but will not water it. Xavier knew a lot about growing seeds and included in his workbook drawings of what he thinks will happen. He said if you water them too much they 'go yucky' and die. I wonder if he is correct? We will keep you updated on our seeds as they grow.
Life Education Van - We visited the Life Education Van where Alisha and Harold (he is a giraffe puppet) taught the children about healthy bodies and warned them not to pick up any sharp things they see like needles.
Another busy day!!!
Dear 2 T,
ReplyDeletethe science class sounds very interesting! My favourite subject at school was biology, especially learning about plants-it's nice to see 2T enjoying the same!
Regards,
Veronika

Thank you 2B for sharing what you have learnt. We are all enjoying reading all your updates and Callum is very excited pointing out his friends in the photographs in the slideshow. It is a lovely way for Callum's sisters to see what he is doing next door as well! Looking forward to reading about what you are all up to this week.

Dear 2T
ReplyDeleteIt was great reading your news what a fantastic and exciting start to the year. It was great to be able to share your experiences especially to be able to view some of the activities.
As a first time blogger I had fun navigating the site and really getting involved. We had lots of fun exploring the pages and trying out the links.
All the best for 2012. Joshua's mum.
I hope Hannah and her 2T classmates are better at growing things than me. I water my plants at least once a month but they always seem to die! I wonder what I'm doing wrong???? I would like some tips from 2T on growing plants if they can figure out what I'm doing wrong...Hannah's Mum
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start to the new year 2B. It's fun to be able to read and see images of what you are learning. I know Conner's family likes to see it from where ever they are in Australia! Keep up the great effort. Conner's Mum
