S2 News

Hi! Secondary 2 have had a brilliant and fiery start to the final term of the year! We have continued our weekly Science experiments and even made a lava lamp which was very entertaining and calming to watch how the bubbles moved through the oil. It has been a very fun few weeks for Maths as the class has become actively engaged in many hands-on activities to explore 2D and 3D shapes. We have made shape robots, learnt some new games and have also made models using playdough and match sticks.

Independent writing has been regular in our classroom as Miss Monique uses a variety of tools to get the creativity flowing including visual stimuli, writing prompt videos, which encourage the students to think differently about concepts and also hilarious felt board scenes where we have to discover what mixed up things are happening. HPE is always something to look forward to on a Tuesday! The students are becoming quite competent in their physical skills when playing games such as Heads and Hands, Steal the Bacon and Fruit Basket. We had another visit from Aunty Christine in the Gubbi Gubbi Workshop where we learnt some more vocabulary for different animals and people.

We are looking forward to the remainder of the term and celebrating all achievements!

From,

Secondary 2 students, Miss Monique & Miss Dana
