2F News
A highlight of the school year to date is the fun Maths games to reinforce number concepts we play each day! Although if the boys are asked, they would surely mention 2/12 Treasure Hunt and the Year 2 excursions.
On Wednesday 30 March, the Year 2 boys met up with their Year 12 buddies for the Annual 2/12 Breakfast, the first of a series of activities together, as part of the 2016 Time Capsule initiative. The boys were greeted by their Year 12 counterparts and ran excitedly around the Junior School grounds looking for 'Treasure Hunt' clues. Mr Hindle was delighted to be serenaded by the students who solved the riddle and arrived back to the Gooch ahead of the others. Some of the 2F boys felt a little nervous at first, but all agreed afterwards that it was a fantastic morning.
We enjoyed the relatively fine weather on our excursion to Kings Park on Friday 6 May. Despite an ominous start to the morning, the boys spent the day researching various landmarks around the park and identified the function and feature of each space. A highlight of the day was having a lovely lunch and playing in Synergy Parklands.
To celebrate the culmination of our current unit of inquiry and, as a segway in to "Sharing the Planet," the boys went to Elizabeth Quay and Perth Zoo on Friday 13 May. Our class particularly enjoyed the ferry ride from Elizabeth Quay to the South Perth Foreshore.
Finally, the Year 2F boys will present an inquiry assembly on Friday 20 May, singing a song called "I am the Earth". The lyrics will provoke the audience to understand how the Earth works and the impact of human activity upon our natural resources. The song takes a personal look at our relationship with our planet and we hope you enjoy it.
