This week we had a visit from Mike Brumby who read us his story 'Alistair the Armadillo'. The story is about an armadillo who taught the rest of the gang in the Fez that taking exercise, eating healthily and taking care of hygiene is important. We learned that it takes a long time from having an idea to getting a book published-it took Mike 2 years and he edited his story 13 times!
We will be following Mike's advice about editing as we reflect on our own writing of The Heroines story and aim to improve it.
The Heroines movie-out soon!
Work began this week on the making of the movie 'The Heroines of Phuket'. The children have been put in teams of eight and need to organise themselves through each part of the project. Their first job has been to consider how they are going to tell the story and which roles they will take. Recording has begun and will continue next week when we will also begin learning how to edit a movie. Some of our Year 6 friends who are computer experts will be coming down to share their knowledge with us about this.
In Maths this week we have been looking at clocks and telling the time to the half and quarter hour. We have been counting in 5's forwards and backwards and continuing to develop our addition and subtraction skills.
Next week we will be considering how the different people in our school community make a difference to us and how our words could make a difference to them. We will be writing letters to share our words with them.
On Thursday 27th Nov at 8.05 in the Primary Library there will be a Library workshop held by our Librarian Ms Cindy Coulsen on. Why Reading Matters: Helping your child to become an independent reader. All parents are invited to attend.
And on Friday we are looking forward to 2CC's assembly.
A huge WELL DONE to this week's Year Two stars!
