Aqua Safe

Year 2 had a fantastic time participating in Aqua Safe activities at Gungahlin Leisure centre this term. They covered lots of water safety survival skills including safe entry and exits, treading water, survival swimming in clothes and basic rescue skills.
A big thanks to all the mums, dads and grandparents who came to watch and help out! :)

The Dinosaur Museum

Year 2 had a wonderful (and mostly dry) excursion to the Dinosaur Museum on Wednesday. We learnt so many facts about dinosaurs. Everyone has a chosen a dinosaur that they are now going to write an information report on. We will look forward to sharing our reports later in the term!

Multicultural Day

Last Friday was Amaroo School's annual multicultural day. It was wonderful to see so many students dressed up to represent all the incredible countries we have connections with. There were lots of great stalls to visit in break time. The school also raised $3610! Don't we just look fabulous? :)

The Reading Olympics

2JLS kept a very close eye on the Australian medal tally in these Olympic Games. Now we are taking part on our own Olympics - The Reading Olympics! As a class we decided how many books to read to get a bronze, silver and gold medal certificate. To get gold you have to read 50 or more books or chapters in a month and record them on your special calendar. It's fantastic to see so many students tallying their books and going for gold! We can't wait until next month to see how many certificates will be given out.

Disco

Last Friday we had our Early Childhood Disco. We looked very snazzy in our disco clothes as we danced the afternoon away. Year 2 had a big day on Friday. We did such an amazing job for our dance "The Continental Drift" in assembly. In the middle session we participated in rotations to celebrate Science week. It was a busy day but we had lots of fun!

Explorations Term 3

Explorations have begun this term and 2JLS have become Geographers! Year 2 have started using the Chrome Books to start researching the country they have chosen to investigate. The guiding question for our explorations is "How can we teach people about countries around the world?" We are looking forward to sharing our learning later in the term!
Students learnt today what continent their chosen country is in. Make sure you test them on it when they get home!

Science Week Activities!

On Friday 19th August students will be participating in Science week rotations. All students have been placed into groups and will have the chance to participate in different science activities. A note will go home before the day informing you what group your child is in so you will know what rotations they will be doing.
