What a Wonderful Start to the Term for Year 2!
What an exciting and fun-filled start to the term our Year 2 class has had! As part of our RE unit on Wisdom, students have been exploring the idea of making wise and poor choices. We read The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, which sparked some lively discussions—some children are now convinced that the wolf blowing down the houses was simply an accident, while others are not so sure!
To put their wisdom to the test, the students worked together to design and build their own houses. Each house needed strong walls and a sturdy roof that could withstand the big bad wolf (who made an appearance, of course!). This hands-on activity was a highlight of our week, filled with teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and plenty of laughter. Most importantly, it gave the children a chance to use their “wisdom” in a fun and memorable way.
