Paper mache planets and World Book Day

 Another busy week of learning and building took place in Grade 2 this week! 

Paper mache solar system

Excitedly, the students have been using their creative crafting skills to create paper mache models of celestial bodies in our solar system. A messy, but fun time in the Grade 2 classroom! The students have completed the moulds, and they will complete the painting detail in the coming week. Using skills learned in their IT lessons, the students have been recording and editing video about the process behind making their paper mache planet.

Posture class with Mr Didier

The students were very excited to take up the challenge from Mr Didier, to see which class will take the prize as Spring Posture Masters. They did several activities which involved dynamic movements, which challenged their balance and muscle tone. Great fun, and learning was had by all the students. Thank you, Mr Didier, for reminding us to be mindful of our posture!

Visit from Germany Expo 2025 team

We were fortunate to receive a visit from the team responsible for putting together the German pavilion at the Osaka Expo 2025. The cherry on top was the opportunity for the students to meet the expo mascot, Myaku-Myaku!

International Book Day

We had a wonderful day celebrating books and the gift of reading! In the cosiest of pyjamas, and with their favourite book (or two) in hand, the students had an inspiring time together. Bookmarks were made, crossword puzzles completed and buddy reading enjoyed. The students were also treated to a reading carousel from some of our Lower and Upper Primary teachers. 


We look forward to the many Cultural Week activities next week, along with bringing our How The World Works unit to a close by completing our paper mache planets.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,
Ms Theona
