Gliders!

Welcome back for Term 3!

We are learning about Flight this term and we started last week with a different experiment in each of the 4 Year 2 classrooms, which was pretty exciting! 

Today we made gliders, which are powered by thrust from our arms, which makes them lift up. We tested them outside and found that the wind was a big help! We all used the same pattern and found that some worked differently to others because the folds may have been a little different. We all had very good fun testing our gliders and seeing how far they could go.

Wow! 100 days smarter!

It is hard to believe that we have had 100 days at school so far this year.The children have worked really hard and all made lots of progress. So, it was a great reason to celebrate with dress-ups and activities bases around 100, with a shared lunch to follow. Thank you very much for all of the delicious food that you sent along and a big thank you to Grandma Marie, for her contribution of 3 delicious chocolate cakes in the shapes of 1 0 0. Here are some photos from the parade in the hall this morning. Also, there are some pictures from Onesies day on Wednesday. It was a fun day but I know that the children knew the 2 serious reasons behind it: we live in an earthquake prone area and we need to know what to do if an earthquake happens; and to support the people in Nepal after their disaster. Thank you for the donations. Have a good holiday, and do lots of reading!
