It was a short week this week. We welcomed Phallyka to our class and continued to inquire into nutrition. Welcome Phallyka to our class PE with Helmi's Mum Saara helped Mr Andy teach the class one of Helmi's favourite games from Finland to our class. Our school Lunch On Tuesday I took a photo of each students lunch and we spent time looking at the food groups on each plate and the variety of food the students ate. Asking thick and thin questions We introduced students to the idea of 'thick and thin' questions. Thin questions generally have a yes or no answer and thick questions will give you a lot of information. We did this to help students develop good inquiry questions they will research next week.

The students worked with Mr Andy in their first PE class this morning to create a set of essential agreements they will follow during PE lessons for this year. Mr Andy keeps a PE blog , please check it throughout the year to see updates from PE. Grade 2CS PE essential agreements  First PE lesson
