My Favourite Book

Look at the wonderful variety of books that came in for Show and Tell.
For a whole day, I wasn't the oldest 'object' in the classroom... Can you work out which book I'm referring to?

Sean (with a twinkle in his eye): It means Naughty Boy, Jordie.

Going to Year 2 by...

Nellie

Under questions and worries, Nellie has written, "Are you going to be mean soon?"


The Year 2s have been filling in this form. It took us a long time. At the end of the year we are going to fill in the identical form except 'Year 2' will be replaced with 'Year 3'. We will then be able to see how our writing skills have developed over the year. We anticipate that the form will take a lot less time to complete!

Look at what a good looking bunch of children you have:

Nellie

Dylan

Sean

Jordan

Jake

Luke

Georgia S

Haley

Joel

Liam

Yeju

What if tadpoles could talk?

We used de Bono's hats to ponder the question 'What if our tadpoles could talk?'

http://pics4learning.com/

Liam said they would say," Mrs Wilson, Liam is working!"

Nellie thought if tadpoles could talk we could then make friends with them.

Jake wondered if they would help us with our work.

Bella thought they would tell us if we were making a poor choice.

Georgia S said they'd talk to the Beanie Kids in our classroom. 

Ashley said they would say,"Please can you set me free!"

Lauren said they would say,"Mrs Wilson we want some food!"

Georgia K added that they would be able to tell us exactly what they wanted to eat.

Patrick thought that talking tadpoles would make especially good pets but also thought they may dob (tell tales) on students.

Yeju said they would enjoy talking to each other and may even say,"Mrs Wilson, I want to do some work!"

Jordan said they would say, "Oh, I like this person!"

Sean said they would say, "Can we eat those cupcakes?"
Amber: said they would let us know if there was a fire, if they wanted to be our friends, if they wanted a chat and if they needed fresh water.
Mackenzie thought it would be amazing and they could ask us to let them go to the creek.
