Our Innovations

Stop Rubbish floating to the ocean! In Room 27 we are very concerned about all of the rubbish that seems to be floating out to sea, down streams and through pipes. We saw a stream and pipe at the back of our Native Garden and wanted to create something to stop our school rubbish from ending up in the sea.

These are our ideas on how we can help to prevent or solve this problem. 

Jephthah used a plastic plate to create a lid for the pipe. He cut out the middle so that the water could go through. The plastic tabs around the side are to catch the big rubbish and the string in the middle is to catch the small rubbish.

Summer has strung together plastic cups, they have holes in the bottom. The cups catch the rubbish and the water goes through.

Terri used a plate to create a lid for the pipe. He used string to create a spiders web to catch the rubbish. 

Evy created a lip to put over the pipe. The wooden ice block sticks are used to catch the big rubbish and the string is used to catch the small rubbish. 

Donabelle created a net from string, inside her lid. This is strong enough to catch the rubbish. 

Kyra used a plastic plate to hold her net on the pipe. She used string and pipe cleaners to make the net strong. 

Makayla used pipe cleaners to make her net because they are strong and have wire inside. 

Michelle used a plastic plate and pipe cleaners because they are strong. 

Dallas used a pipe cleaner net to catch the rubbish. 

Geometry Sorting

Makayla, Dallas and Roman we using the sorting circles to group and sort shapes by their different characteristics or features.

They sorted shapes into one group of triangles and one group of shapes that were not triangles. 

Can you think of another way we could sort them? 

Positional Language in Maths

Dallas is learning about positional language in maths. He made a tower out of blocks and moved the bears to different places or locations. 

Dallas put the bears on top of the tower!

Our Wellness Posters

For our first Parent Partnership Homework task, the Year 2 syndicate made Wellness posters with our families. These posters show what wellness means to each of us and our families. We talked about our cultures, our religion and the different types of food we eat at home.

These posters are a great way to get to know each others and to show everyone how proud we are of our culture and families.
