__ **Health and Physical Education** __ Physical Education classes the students in Grade 2 have participated in games requiring vigorous physical activity to create an awareness of fitness. Students were also required to explain how rules make playing games safer. Students have been developing their Fundamental Motor Skills in running, leaping, vertical jumping, dribbling and dodging. Students are required to demonstrate appropriate safe practices and procedures for using P.E. equipment.

__ **Visual Arts** __ Year Two students apply imaginative, lateral critical thinking to design and develop various works of art. Students were posed with a problem to plan and design hats. This was further developed by studying works by Roland Wakelin. Students were exposed to the use of line to design themselves in black texta. Puppets were discussed and students decorated puppets using a variety of materials. Student’s knowledge of design was enhanced through creating decorative paper eggs. An awareness of other forms of paper weaving and paper construction skills supported their work in creating a Japanese lady.

__ **Information and Communications Technology** __ The Year Two students have been using “Microsoft PowerPoint” to create their Digital Portfolios. Students have been able to personalise their work by manipulating text and adding clipart and photographs to suit the purpose of their documents. Students have also learnt to access the internet and their email accounts to compose simple messages to send to their teacher.

__ **L.O.T.E** __ This Semester the students have been learning to name colours in Japanese. They have written about their favourite colour and their least favourite colour and are learning to recognise colours in hiragana and katakana. They have expanded their recognition of hiragana characters. The students have enjoyed cultural activities such as origami, //hinamatsuri// (The Doll’s Festival) and //kodomonohi// (Children’s Day).
