Maths: Symmetry

In Maths we have been learning about symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes. We have had lots of fun drawing the other half to pictures and investigating symmetrical patterns.

Healthy and Happy Me- Term 3 Integrated Studies Topic

As we were learning about healthy food choices, the Grade Two's all made their own healthy sandwhich. Some students tried sandwich fillings they had not had before and everyone had either wholemeal or multigrain bread. The students could choose to have cheese, lettuce, tomato, carrot, cucumber or beetroot (with many deciding to have a sandwich with the lot!) They did a great job preparing all the food and most importantly enjoyed eating a healthy lunch.





















An example of a student preparing their sandwich and a finished product YUM!
