Shakespeare's Heroes

This week 2WD was busy practising and building props for our Reader's Theatre performances. There were three plays we worked on with the guidance of Mrs. Davies, Janene and Miss. Marion, our student teacher. Our first play had a mother and daughter being chased by bad guys, thrown out of a plane and almost swallowed by a serpent! Our second play had three children trying to build a house strong enough to stand up to the powerful Earthquake God. Our final play had four little penguins trying to escape from being taken by nasty hunters. The performaces were a great success and we had a wonderful audience of the grade one and two classes. Here is a look at our performances. 

Making gliders

As part of our science studies this term 2WD made some gliders. The gliders worked well and the kids loved seeing who's glider could go the furtherest.

Solving a crime in 2WD

Last Thursday and Friday 2WD were hot on the case of some tough criminals. We had to create a set of clues and discover who the criminal is. Students worked very well together and using a police line up solved the case. Some of the criminals were Mugsy, Spike, Benny, Fingers and Lefty.
