Junior School Council Fundraiser - Pyjamarama and Animal Onesie Day

Our grade 2s enjoyed dressing up in their ‘winter woolies’ - pyjamas and onesies - to raise money for 'The Thin Green Line Foundation'. The foundation is run by Sean Willmore to raise awareness and funds to help train and support rangers to protect animals from poachers. For more information on this foundation, visit: https://www.thingreenline.org.au.




I like wearing my pyjamas to school on Friday. I wore my skeleton pyjamas. I got a donut but didn't get a Big M.

On Friday June 17th it was Pyjamarama Day. I was wearing my Minnie Mouse PJs and my pink dressing gown. My brother, Corbin, did not wear his right PJs. He was wearing monsters when he was supposed to be wearing Ninja Turtles. My sister, Ivy, had Elsa PJs and white lovehearts and pink dressing gown. I had an awesome time. So did my brother and sister. We raised money for 'The Thin Green Line'.

On Pyjamarama Day I wore a monkey onesie. It was really hot in it and I lasted all day. I had a donut and strawberry milk. I enjoyed it. We got to watch a movie because it was a wet day timetable.

On Friday the 17-6-2016 it was Pyjamarama Day. I wore Super Girl PJs. We donated the money to 'The Thin Green Line'. My sister wore Hello Kitty PJs. They were red. My brother wore tracksuit pants with his PJ top. I got an iced donut with pink icing and a strawberry milk. It was delicious, amazing and super! My brother had a strawberry milk, so did my sister. 2J watched a movie because there were donuts and milk all over our tables! It was funny! It was a busy day! IT WAS AMAZING!

On Pyjamarama Day I was in my 'Wake Me Up on Saturday' PJs. I got a banana donut and a chocolate Big M. We raised money for the 'Thin Green Line'.

Forces at work (and play!)

When I was with Mr Beck I did an experiment. We pushed a ball into the water. The water pushed the ball up and gravity pulled the ball down. The basketball went up high but the tennis ball just floated.

We did inquiry with Mr Beck. We pushed the ball down and the water pushed it back up again. When I put my hand in, I froze!

Floating Ball
By Franki
You will need: some foil, some paper and a straw.
1. You need a straw.
2. You get a piece of paper and fold it into a 3D cone and sticky tape it to the straw.
3. You get a piece of foil and roll it into a ball.
4. You get the rooled up ball of foil and put it in the cone that you made. You practise blowing it in the air.

In Inquiry we are learning about push/pull forces. One day we went to Buddies and made a floating ball. But sadly mine didn't work. So I made one at home. That worked! The force of air pushed the ball up, and gravity pulled it down again.
Abbey

One day we went to our Buddies to make a floating ball activity. The materials were: pen, paper, coloured straw (or a plain straw), scissors and foil.

Paper helicopters
We made paper helicopters. We used specially cut and folded paper and a paper clip. We experimented to find ways to make the helicopter fall to the ground more slowly. The push of air slowed the fall, but the pull of gravity was always stronger.

2J Visit the High School

Today my class and I went to the high school to do some art. We made monster bookmarks so when we're finished reading we can put it in our book. My first one had big, fat eyes. My second one had one small eye. It was awesome.

On 7-6-2016, 2J went to Lara Secondary School. We made monster bookmarks. Marley and I did a rainbow one with sharp rainbow teeth. One of the eyes was pink and purple with blue spots. Marley and I had two girls helping us. They were very nice. I enjoyed it. It was amazing.

Today our class went to the Lara Secondary College. At the Lara Secondary College we made MONSTER book marks! After we finished I walked away very proud of Hannah. My first monster was Cookie Monster. My second monster was King Bob and my third monster was a Squiggle.

Today 2J went to the high school. We made small bookmarks. I made a red bookmark and I put eyes on, then I put on my little cookie.
By Matilda



Today we went to the high school. 2J had their own buddies. Me and my buddy made some monsters. Some kids had one or two or three or even four monsters. Two of the high school kids read a story to us.
