In Maths we have been learning about telling the time; on the hour, half past, quarter to and quarter past the hour. This takes a lot of practice every day.
We have also learn about growing and repeating patterns. Can you tell which of these are growing and which are repeating? Do you know what will come next in each sequence?
We have been practicing our hymns for our Father's Day Mass which is next Thursday in the church at 9a.m. All parents (especially Dads or Grand Fathers) are welcome to share in this celebration with us. They can come to visit the classroom after if they would like.
In preparation for Book Week Mrs P reads us some short listed books. Today we heard Rudie Nudie. It was a very funny story that we enjoyed a lot. For our Book Week Parade, Year 2 will be dressing up in celebration of this book. Of course we will not have any real rudie nudies because we are far too modest and sensible for that. Other costume ideas are pyjamas and slippers, teddy bears, wet scraggy hair, dressing gowns, hair tied up in a towel, bubble wrapped bodies to simulate bubble bath (with something underneath!), rubber ducks, soap/shampoo... Use your imaginations! Please remember the children must wear safe footwear and sun safe clothing and bring a hat for play time. If the costume is unsuitable for play time then the children may bring their school uniform to change into.
This is a very interesting video. Check it out.
Dear children and Mrs Taylor,
ReplyDeleteit is so nice to see that you are all studying diligently, reading and learning about numbers and about telling the time. I am especially pleased about the children being able to tell the time--I do get a bit tired of being asked by my little darling 'What's the time, mummy?' about 50 times a day.
Now, I just need to buy him a watch and he can work it out for himself.
Luka and I have been reading Pippi Longstocking--there are many books about Pippi's adventures in the library and we have borrowed three. She was an independent little girl who lived on her own (actually, with a horse and a monkey) in a little cottage. She had two little friends and they did a lot of funny things together. At the moment we are reading about Pippi travelling to the South Seas and maybe encountering pirates and cannibals.
Regards and I look forward to Thursday and the Fathers' Day Mass.
