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?

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 :)

Excursion to West Coast Park - Forces in action

On Monday we went to West Coast Park to test our ideas about forces.

I was on this skateboard thing that could go up as high as it can. I could go only 7cm tall because alot of sand was in it. by Gus

Bouyancy Experiment by Marzio

We had to make a boat and a ball experiment to test for buoyancy. We put them in a tub full of water to see what would happen. I thought the boat would float and the ball would sink and I was right at the end. by Marzio

Our Class Buddies 4M by Tatiana


4M came to 2RY for buddies. We did a experiment for buoyancy. We made a boat and a ball. We tested the boat and the ball at the same time.Our boat floated and our ball floated a bit because it had some space on the top.I had to write it all with out Ella. 4M had to go soon so we said good-bye to each other as Ella left. we enjoyed having our buddies. by Tatiana
