Capital Letters In Action in 2B
We have been learning about the role of capital letters in sentences. Students were placed in groups and had to work collaboratively to make the capital letter nominated by the teacher. This activity also tied in with our spelling and handwriting focus for the letters A and B.

God is like a Potter
In Religious Education, Year 2 has been looking at images of God presented in the bible - God is like a shepherd, God is like a parent, God is like a potter. We read this passage (Isaiah 64:8); "Yet, O LORD, You are our Father. We are the clay, You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand"; We discussed what this meant and the students recognised that we are like the clay and God is shaping us to be like Him. He will always want us to be growing, changing, and having new purposes.  We had a turn at being the potter and molded and shaped a small piece of modelling clay into a new object. Check out some of our creations.

Spaghetti and Marshmallow Towers
Students combined mathematical reasoning with physics to design a tower- only using uncooked spaghetti and marshmallows that would stand independently. The challenge was on to see who could create the sturdiest, tallest tower. Check out 2B’s creative designs.

Reversible or Irreversible???
In Science, we have been looking at changes to materials caused by physical or chemical changes. The students are learning that scientists make hypotheses and then test them to verify their theories. Some changes are reversible, whilst others are irreversible. Students conducted an experiment to see whether heating chocolate was a reversible or irreversible change. The chocolate was heated by rubbing hands over the chocolate block in a sealed plastic bag. It was then placed in the fridge to cool. Whilst we decided that this change was reversible, it didn’t quite look like the original chocolate block as we didn’t have the mold to put it in. Either way- melted or cooled- it was DELICIOUS!!!
