We have been interested in seeing a variety of different masks that can be used for drama. Sam gave a neat presentation about the mask his family brought from Thailand.
Zhayne made a cool mask at home. We took turns communicating with the class by wearing the mask and miming.
Practising our writing is an important thing we do in Grade 2. This week we made a list of the features of ‘good writing’. We were all amazed to find that we ended up with a very long list. No wonder writing takes so much effort. We realised that we actually know rather a lot about writing.
We are reading some superb descriptions in our novel ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ at the moment. This is captivating our imaginations and inspiring us as writers too.
In Maths we have explored multiplication and division by grouping people, shoes and objects. It is helping us to understand these important concepts and good fun in the process.
