S2 have hit the ground running in Term 2. We began in week 1 with the Cross Country. Everyone was dressed in their team colours and ready to do their best to gain points for their team.

We are doing a science experiment where we are attempting to make crystals. The class split into 3 groups and each group chose a colour. In a couple of weeks, we hope to have some pink, orange and blue crystals growing on the stones. Have a look at the pictures of us carrying out the crystal making activity.

Aunty Christine visited us in week 2. She revisited the stories and language we learned last year, then taught us a new song about gira (fire). We read the book about gira in class and hope to practice the song before Aunty Christine returns.

The special ANZAC parade was a moving experience. We laid our wreath and listened to a man play the Last Post and Reveille on a real bugle. Afterwards we came back to class to try out the foods that the soldiers ate during the war. We dunked our ANZAC biscuits into sweet sugary tea. The soldiers had to do this as their biscuits were so hard they couldn’t eat them without dunking. We also tried some bully beef on damper. Most of us liked it, but one person said it looked a bit like cat food. Then, to end on a sweet note we had some golden syrup with damper as well.

We are beginning to do some assessment tasks in our classroom. Miss Cann is very happy with our understanding of what we have been learning this semester to date. The S2 students are demonstrating their skills and knowledge to a very high standard. Well done S2!
