26/07/10 What's Going On in BD Class?

This week is Maori Language Week - Te wiki o Te Reo Maori. We learnt to count in maori. We played a game of "Beep" counting to ten in Maori. It was pretty tricky but we got better as we went on. Instead of saying "beep" and sitting down, we said "e noho" when ever we got to the magic numbers. Check out the video to see how we practised counting in Maori.

Mr D got all the Year 2s started on their spelling homework this week. They will be doing it every Monday and Friday.

For topic, we looked at shadows again. We did a bit of a change because Mr D showed us some new scientific words. They were: transparent (see through), translucent (sort of see through) and opaque (solid). We changed some of our ideas about the objects we tested.

We also did "Ole Soccer Academy" today. We learnt some new skills like zig-zag, and inside and outside turn. We played a new warm-up game called "Opposites" and a practice game called "Get the Bacon." It was lots of fun! You can see what we got up to in this video.
