Our Classroom

We have had a great start to term 3. The classroom already looks a little bit different. It is lovely to see the painting has been done and our back wall is a beautiful sapphire colour!
We now have a reading garden which 2JLS are enjoying. All Ms Lambert's stuffed toys have come into be our reading buddies. We sometimes grab a buddy when we are doing read to self or working on our reading fluency.

Hello

Hello everyone,

I'd like to start by thanking everyone for their very warm welcome. I have had such a lovely first week with year 2. It has been wonderful to meet so many of you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns. Feel free to make an appointment or you can email me at jenny.lambert@ed.act.edu.au. I'm looking forward to a fantastic term of learning!

Thanks,
Jenny Lambert

Farewell

Today we had our class party to celebrate MANY things... A little 2NTS baby, Mrs Lambert coming next semester and of course the AMAZING learning that we've all done over the past semester. Thank you to everyone for supplying delicious food for us to share. We ate, laughed, danced and were very merry. We even had one special little person prepare a speech :-)

I'd also like to take this opportunity to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone for their thoughtful gifts and well wishes. They were completely unexpected but so appreciated. Your kind words and generosity mean more than you know. I will be sure to share my exciting baby arrival news with you all very soon :-)

I am certain that next semester will be even better than the first and warmly welcome Mrs Lambert to 2NTS. I know she is very excited to get in and get to know everyone. I can't wait to hear of the fabulous things that are happening in Year 2 - it's going to be a fun and exciting semester!

Warm wishes to you all Xx
Mrs Thorpe

Have You Got Game?

Today was our annual 'Have You Got Game', where teachers and students come together to compete. Different challenges were set and the teacher's were the ones to take out the competition this year.

We had a lot of fun and our favourite part was definitely dressing up as Disney characters. Don't we look FABULOUS?!

Brilliant Bunny

Each K-2 assembly, Mrs Bartlett awards one of the Early Childhood terraces the 'Brilliant Bunny' for having a neat and tidy terrace. 2NTS are a very neat and tidy class and we have been working really hard (especially over the past few weeks) to try to win our terrace the prestigious award . . . And on Friday, we did it! We were all more than thrilled :-)

Explorations

This term we have been working hard in Explorations to research our chosen Science topic. We ended our unit by creating final products that shared our learning. Each group decided on how they would present and we ended up with posters, books, dioramas and even a film! Unfortunately, our timing coincided with a few people being away sick so you will notice a few faces missing . . . However, they certainly worked hard too!

   

Camp Quality

Last Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have a visit from the crew at Camp Quality. They taught us about what cancer is and how people can have chemotherapy to help them get better. We learnt that we can still be friends with people who have cancer - they might a little bit sick because of the medicine's side effects - but we can do our best to cheer them up... because laughter is the best medicine!
