OLHC Year 2 2015: Looking back on Term 1 ...

We worked very hard during Term 1!!

We got to know our wonderful teachers Miss Seymour, Mrs Fazio and Mrs Steptoe and we welcomed 4 new students into our grade - Karina, Viola, Ella and Reuben :)

In Maths we learnt lots of new things, especially about money!

We spent a lot of time in Maths working with concrete materials. Below you can see us estimating, playing card games, making 3D objects and matching analogue with digital times.

In HSIE, we wrote letters to Miss Seymour's hockey friends ALL over the world to learn about their families and their culture! We got some wonderful replies - including a video from Sarah in Scotland - she had such a funny accent. Here is a picture of 2W with their "thank you faces" which we sent to all the beautiful people that sent us replies!

Here are 2 of the letters we wrote:

In Science we loved learning about clouds later in the term. Here are some photos of us making the different types of clouds (and a huge mess!) using shaving cream.

In Science we also looked at the movement of the sun and earth and the effect this has on our shadows. We drew around our shadows with chalk and then went out an hour later to see how the shadow had changed.

We learnt how to work well together in small groups in PD/Health to make the best tower possible in 2 minutes with limited materials ... after having a go first by ourselves!
