What Makes a Good Learner?

Welcome

Welcome to my Year 2 learning blog. This year I am in Room 10 and my teachers are Mrs Somaratne and Mrs Strachan. I hope you will enjoy my blog and leave lots of feedback.

Room 7's Botanic Garden Trip

Room 7 went to the Auckland Botanic Gardens on the 17th November, 2015.

We learnt how compost is made naturally using FBI - Fungus, Bacteria and Invertebrate and how to make our own worm farm and compost bin.

We were very tired at the end but we had an amazing day!

"I liked the log we walked on and going under the tunnels 

and going into the cracked egg."

My Writing

Term 1, 2015

This is my writing at the beginning of the year.

Term 4, 2015

Look what I can write now!

This term I have been learning to use punctuation such as full stops, comma's and speechmarks and write more than one idea with details related to the topic.

I am very proud of my writing.

Reading punctuation!

I am learning to notice and identify punctuation marks when I am reading. 

"I can talk a little bit louder when I read an exclamation mark and a comma means I can take a break." 

Painted Paper Bouquets

LI: We are learning to mix and blend primary colours.

First we mixed primary colours together to make new colours then we

blended them together to paint our vase and petals. Next we used watercolours to paint our flowers and then we put it all together.

Measuring with our Gingerbread man

LI: We are learning to compare and measure the length of similar objects.

First we measured and made a gingerbread man out of cardboard. Next we had to build a bridge out of blocks and cardboard of different lengths that were long enough for him to cross.

"We made a tall bridge with different blocks. It was tricky to make it stay up."

Last but not least we made a Gingerbread man, 

decorated it and got to take him home to eat. Yum!
