Celebrate Life!
This term, 2BV are learning about Celebrations and will be exploring this topic through Art, HSIE and Science. We have been using photography to create to some Andy Warhol inspired self portraits, we've had some fun dressing up and of course taking a few selfies. Our Celebration party was a fun way to start the term. Thank you to all our wonderful mums, dads and other family members who helped providing some snacks and drinks.

Contraction Surgery. We have been focussing on contractions in Word Work this week. Ciara knows we start with 2 words in a contraction. Callum and Aytomiwa are carefully removing the unwanted letters. They put the word back together with a band aid where an apostrophe would go. Alisha is all finished!

2BV on a Motion Mission
In Science, we have been investigating motion, the movement of an object. We've been learning about words such as force, friction, energy, motion, push and pull. We are getting really good at making observations and using these words in our descriptions. This week 2BV were on a Motion Mission, completing a variety of activities to explore and investigate the causes and effects of the motion that was created.
These were our missions. You might like to explore them more at home or create your own motion missions.
Did you create your own motion mission at home? What discoveries can you share?
Thanks to Christina DeCarbo for an excellent resource.
Fun with Fruit!
The last two Fridays we have been working on an artwork inspired by the humble fruit bowl. We have looked at lots of Monet's artworks - paintings of water lilies, sunflowers, gardens, ponds, oceans and of course arrangements of fruit. We look forward to sharing our artworks soon....
We've been enjoying reading about James and the Giant Peach, so we've been imagining what a giant peach would look like. Chloe brought in a giant strawberry for crunch and sip. What stories could you write about a giant strawberry?
We've also enjoyed our apples even more on a Friday as we get them cored and sliced.... makes eating apples a whole lot of fun!
