Farewell Jazzy Jasper

One of our most colourful characters in 2RY has left to live in London. Jasper will be sorely missed by all of us. There were tears everywhere on his last day. We wish him and his family a happy and safe new life in the UK.


Swimming Carnival

Last Wendseday, everyone swam in the Swimming Carnival! Everyone also tried very hard. It was a tough challenge but these were the results: Last was Derwent, 3rd Fitzroy, 2nd Lachlan and 1st (drumroll) was Murray! Even though Murray won, everyone felt proud of their team.

ANZAC Day

ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. Poppies are an ANZAC tradition because the soldiers died in a poppy garden and fought in the poppies in Turkey. We made poppies to decorate the pod area for our ANZAC assembly. We listened to the Last Post and Reveille played by Mr Elliot. Our class hosted the Y2 assembly.  ANZAC cookies are also an ANZAC tradition.
We watched this clip on Youtube about our ANZAC heroes

Happy Easter everyone

In a few days time Easter is coming. On Easter Sunday I hope everyone has a great time and gets as much Easter eggs and lollies to celebrate. 
During Easter have a great time and lots of fun with your family and friends.  If you invited any family, cousins, grandparenets or friends I hope you have a great time with them.

Some questions from Ms Ryan
What does Easter mean? Why do we get Easter eggs? Why is a rabbit a symbol of Easter?


Wheels Day ... forces in action

On wheels Day we...
rode on a rip stick, bike, roller skates and waveboards.

Welcome back! Term 2 has begun

We have all returned from our break refreshed and with lots of quality stories about our holidays. We wrote procedures this week on 'How to have a fantastic holiday' We will publish some soon.
We also had our "Wheels Day' on Wednesday for PE. We discovered the forces that we use when riding or playing on our bikes, scooters, skateboards, ripsticks, rollerblades and swaveboards.
Ms Ryan had a great holiday in Barcelona, Paris and London with her daughter. It was lots of fun :)
