Use of Water In the Community: Baleigh's Mum Visits Year 2

This week we have been learning about how people in the community use water. We brainstormed different jobs people do that use water. Firefighters use water to put out fires, hairdresser wash people's hair with water, plumbers fix pipes that hold water and carpet cleaners use water to clean carpets. The list goes on and on. Baleigh's mum used water when she was a swimming instructor and more recently she uses water as a Pre-school Teacher. She came to visit us and we asked her some questions about how she uses water at the Pre-school. What questions did you ask her?

First Independent Photostories

This week we learnt how to write cinquain poems. We wrote poems around the theme of water because we are also learning about water in Science. After we wrote our poem, we searched for photos that we thought matched the words. We then used Photostory 3 to create a digital text. Finally we had to create music that suitably matched the poem. I'm so proud of you all! Take a look at these two examples of what we did today.
