Paper Mâché Bowls

Room 11 have been making paper mâché bowls . We had to rip newspaper into small pieces and glue them on in layers. 

We had to glue lots of layers to make them strong.

We lined our bowls with petroleum and glad wrap to help us release the bowls.

Year 2 Zoo Trip

                            Year 2  Zoo Trip 

We went to the zoo but first we went on the bus.  We saw long necked giraffes and we saw Anjalee the elephant and her friend Burma. We wanted to run really fast to her because we had never seen her before.  We had morning tea and next we saw the seals and one was swimming in the water. There was 4 more seals. Three were sunbathing and one of them was in the water. Then we saw the meerkats.  We went in the tunnel. I hit my head because I was running so fast. Next we saw the spider monkeys. They were hanging from their tails.  There  were heaps of spider monkeys. They were cool. I like the zoo.  Emacyn

I went to the zoo.  First we went to a seat on the bus.  I saw the giraffe and the elephant and the lion. The lion had claws. The lion was sleeping on the grass.  I saw a zebra and the zebra had a friend too, it was a duckling.  The elephant was happy in the zoo. Sanaa

One of Room 11's topics is the Seasons. Here we are outside our tall sunflowers. We look after them by keeping them watered. We are going to collect some of the seeds later. We have also been drawing the beautiful sunflowers in art.
