Teddy Bear Picnic

Room 2 drew pictures of bears and coloured them in.  

We then took pictures with our iPad of us holding our teddy bear drawings and then we cut around our picture using our device.  

We had fun learning to draw a teddy bear.

Making sure the bears have enough food.

Today we had a teddy bear picnic.  We all brought our favourite teddy or soft toy to school.  We sat in a circle to eat with our bears then Mrs Millward brought in some little teddy bear biscuits to share with our toys.
When we had lunch we talked about why the toy we brought in was our favourite.

Circle Art

As part of our Term 2 Inquiry - Light and Sound, we looked at how sound could affect the choice of paint we used.  This art is representative of Wassily Kandinsky and how he used the timbre (the colour of the sound) eg bright or dark tones of music to choose which paint he would use for each circle. 

Room 2 listened to the opening soundtrack of Nemo while painting.  We would close our eyes and listen to the music then chose a colour we thought matched the notes and painted our circle.

Light and Sound

As part of our Inquiry - Light and Sound. 

We drew two columns in our Inquiry book and labeled them Light and Sound, then we had to cut out our pictures and decide if they were either light or a sound object.  Some of the pictures were hard to decide and some were both light and sound so we placed them in the middle.

2D Shape Pictures

Room 2 has been learning about 2D shapes.

We joined our shapes together to make other shapes and objects.  We tried to use not only different shapes to make a picture but we also wanted to use different colours that we have learned about.

Bread Experiment

Room 4 (year 3) did an experiment using bread and they let us use the bread to discuss what would happen to the bread if you didn't clean your hands.  This is one week after the bread had been touched.

Below are the observations Room 2 made after discussing the experiment as a class.

The bread got dirty because someone touched it with germs.  We have to wash our hands.
Alex

Some people washed their hands but there were still germs on the bread.
Aanya
One bread is dirty because the children touched it without washing their hands.  The other bread is just a little dirty.

Sharukh 
The bread got dirty from the dirty hands.

Rayne

The bread has germs.  You have to wash your hands.
Ikeli

Kids washed their hands, but germs still came on their hands and on the bread.

The good bread gave the bad bread some sparkly medicine and it turned good.
