Tae Kwon Do Two

After weeks of learning how to kick Room 2 got to practice that on some boards.  

They had to hit the board very hard for it to break.  

Below are Sophie and Ali breaking the boards.

Mad-hatters Hat Making

For Queens Birthday we made hats and decorated them with crayons, glitter, and stickers.  

It was a fun day and everyone was able to express themselves with their own designs.

Below Kawsar will show you how to make a hat.

First, you fold a piece of paper in half

Next, you fold one side into the middle.

Then, fold the other side into the middle

Then fold the bottom of the paper on each side up and press
along the fold.

Next, add any decoration you want

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.
