Easter Chickens

Today we made some Easter Chickens for Easter.

The ingredients were :

• a packet of plain biscuits - crushed
• a tin of condensed milk
• a cup of coconut
• yellow food colouring
• sultanas
• chocolate chips

Mrs. Clarke helped us. We used a food processer to crush the biscuits and then we added the condensed milk.

Then we mixed in 3/4 of a cup of coconut.

We also put some coconut in a plastic bag with some yellow food colouring.

Then we made two balls out of the mixture.  We made a little one for the head and a bigger one for the body.

We rolled the body in the yellow coconut mixture.

                                     

Next we used 2 chocolate chips for the eyes and a sultana for the nose.

                                       

We got to eat them after school or to take them home.  Have a Happy Easter everyone!  See yo on Wednesday.

Learning in Room 2 This Week

For Maths on Monday Woppi, Jenny and Kane were given a magnetic hundreds board with about 10 numbers on it.  Their job was to work together and put all the numbers on in the correct place.  Here is the end product:

Didn't they do a fantastic job!

In Reading each group has a special word that they are learning.  We can choose to write it with clay, with deodorant dyes, magnetic letters, letterboards and now we can also use chalk outside.  Here are some people's efforts.

Maths

We have been learning to count backwards in Maths and give the before numbers.  We have played Bingo Before Numbers, the 1 Less Than Game and other games.  Here are some of our counting backwards numbers.

 

 

Nature Study Today

What a busy day we had today.  We had another Nature Discovery with Room 1.  This is what we got up to:

The Real Art Road Show

We were lucky enough to have The Real Art Road Show at our school.  Room 2 was the first class in the school to go and see it.  Some of us went with our parents after school or on Saturday morning and it was all free.  We got given a pencil each and we came back  and did some drawing for Art.

Here are some of our stories:

I am in the truck looking at the pictures with my Mum.  Lucas

Mufti Day

Today was Mufti Day at school.  We had to bring a gold coin to donate to Relay for Life.  Princess Phillipa, Mrs. Fleming and Mrs. Jackson are all doing the relay this weekend.  The teachers also had a morning tea to raise more money.

Maths This Week

We are learning to count backwards  and give the before numbers.  We played Bingo with the "number before" the one that we picked up. We also got into groups and put number cards backwards.

Yoga

Yesterday Mrs. Billing came to school to take us for Yoga.  We stretched our arms and we were cats and dogs and turtles.  We really liked and are looking forward to next Tuesday!
