Welcome to Year Two
Year 2 making fairy bread
The Year 2 cohort made fairy bread on Tuesday. This was part of the writing process for them to understand how to write a procedural text. Each student had to butter their bread and then dip it into the sprinkles. They were then very happy to eat the end result.
Mad Science Incursion
Who made it to our Mad Science Incursion? The students were absolutely enthralled and entranced as they learnt that air is invisible, odourless, all around, takes up space, and exerts a pressure. It can also be used as a weapon! Look out for an airzooka assault and some giant smoke vortex rings.
They flew toilet paper using Bernoulli’s principle, and levitated beach balls.
Then they learnt about the two types of electricity: flowing and static and made some super static electricity with the Van de Graaff Generator. They watched wool fly, fluttering confetti fireworks, and a hair-raising demonstration!!
Edendale Farm Excursion
Litter, litter everywhere
Whittlesea Council came to MPHPS to help the children understand and learn about the impacts of litter on the environment, why people litter and how to reduce litter at school and in the community. They participated in some hands on activities polluting water and then learnt how that would impact the animals that live there. They also learnt how rubbish can or cannot be broken down into soil, learning that chewing gum never breaks down!
