Room 8 in 2014.
We are a Year 2 class in Room 8 @ Bellevue School and this is our blog. We hope you follow our learning and share the things we do.
In Room 8 we ... Look - Listen - Learn!

We read about Otto the bear having adventures. Now he has left on another one. Let's follow him.
What is an Adventure?
Somewhere you have not been before, said Isaac.
Somewhere that no-one has been to and you explore, said Johnny.
Going somewhere exciting, said Lucy.
Doing something exciting, said Howard.
Using your imagination, said Lewis.

Let's discover together!
Values - our 4Rs.
We have been talking about how we treat ourselves and how we treat others...
Responsible - we are responsible for our behaviour to others. Respect - we must respect the feelings of others.
Tara wrote a poem about feelings.
It is okay to get sad
Or mad or happy
It's okay to ask people if you're mad or sad
It's okay to be afraid
So don't be mad
Be so glad.
Drinking fountains
We don't like the drinking fountains, said Blake. They are broken, said Tayla. We should clean them, said Johnny. We might get new ones, said Cayin. We can use our water bottles, said Nico. Everybody doesn't have a water bottle, said Howard.
Here's what we think!
Our White hat thinking.
We have 3 fish.
There are 2 fish tanks.
1 tank is big and 1 tank is little.
There are tadpoles in the round tank.
Tadpoles come from eggs.
Tadpoles grow into frogs.
The tadpoles are tiny.
We had Green hat thinking too.
Some people think...
The tadpoles are too small.
Some people wondered...
Are they tadpoles?
Let's find out!
We looked in our books about fish.
We looked in the tanks.
We used a magnifying glass.
We think there are little fish in the round tank.
We wondered ... are they little goldfish?
What will our fish need?
Food , said Aria.
Plants, said Cayin.
Air, said Jakob. Oxygen!
Water, said Michael.
What kind of water?
Clean water, said Azarliah.
Not sea water, said Isaac.
Fish food and plants to feed our fish.
Plants and pump to give oxygen to our fish.
What helps keep our fish tank clean?
What is in the bag?
SNAILS! Snails slide along the tank and eat any bits and that keeps it clean.
Our lego construction
Blake and I made an awesome lego car. I made the wheels and the body, said Carter.
To make a lego car you will need to have two wheels on both sides. You put the body on and you put the seats in. You need to put lights on, said Blake.
