What I Liked most about being in 2J this year was...

What I have enjoyed in 2J has been many thing. The first thing I have enjoyed  is all the art knitting an sewing  that we did I loved sewing and knitting plus art is my favourite thing to do. Another thing I have enjoyed  I all the lovely things I have learnt. Now I know many things. My last reason and most important reason of all, is having a great teacher who is really kind, caring and fair. Mrs Jenkins would  always help me and everyone else in the class in many ways.
By Evie


What I have enjoyed this year has been sewing. I've enjoyed knitting and want to learn crochet but sewing is my particular favourite. I'm always impatient  to do sewing and whenever Mrs. Jenkins says that if we do our best we will do sewing, I try and do my best. I hope we do sewing next year. Another thing was art. Since my whole life I loved art. I would doodle if I had to and I loved colouring. If I colour something I always put my effort into it. I want to always impress my teacher in art. Something else I enjoyed was topic talks. When I started kindergarten and year one I read off a sheet of paper but in this class, you need a lot of confidence. I have all the confidence in topic talks and it's helpful because I would need to use palm cards or do it by heart. I really like topic talks because it also improves my confidence. The thing I enjoyed the most this year are the tests. Every class has tests but this class has challenging tests. We would have to look on the blog and some questions that are in tests. I want to improve my knowledge and this class is the right one.

What I have enjoyed in 2J this year has been sewing for Mothers' Day because I have made different kinds of patterns. Another thing  I have enjoyed in 2J this was making the Fathers' Day apron because my dad told me he was impressed with the apron I made. He uses it every day for preparing food. Henceforth I've enjoyed doing tessellations. I have enjoyed 2J this year by doing glorious activities.

What I have enjoyed in 2j this year has been that Mrs Jenkins has taught so many things I did not know. In 2j we always do fun things like craft, sewing, colouring and s on. Another thing is that I have made honest wonderful friends and class mates. Thirdly I have always enjoyed year two and was looking forward to it. Lastly I am going to miss year two and Carlingford, since I am leaving.
By Caitlin


What I have enjoyed in 2J this year has been every single piece of work that I have done with my lovely teacher Mrs Jenkins. One thing I really liked was making Christmas decorations for my tree. Another I liked to do was challenging maths questions. It is so fun breaking it by step by step. there was one more thing that I liked and it was geography. I like geography because I learn interesting facts and thank you to my dear teacher Mrs  Jenkins.

By Yyoung
What I have enjoyed in 2j this year.
I have enjoyed knitting, sewing and English. Why knitting entertained me calmly. sewing taught me how to do better knots also faster knots. English  made me have  better handwriting. But the best thing loved was story writing not just because it gives me better handwriting it gave me better imagination.
by Aleks
I have enjoyed the excursion to the Powerhouse Museum in 2J I learnt a lot about sound. When it was Pancake Tuesday I liked making and eating them.I liked going to the library. I loved learning subtraction with trading. Lastly I extremely enjoyed sewing.-

Journal Topic this week. Ididn't know where to go...

I didn't know where to go because I was surrounded by bulldogs. They thought I was food so they tried to bite me. I thought they also didn't have an owner that meant that they were wild. I screamed with fear, then I fainted. When I woke up I realized that the bulldogs had an owner who was just buying some food for the bulldogs. I ran home and told Mum and Dad what had happened, then I jumped in bed. By Marcus


I didn't know where to go because I was lost. I was in a forest with wild animals. Just then a lion appeared right in front of my eyes. We glared eye to eye. Moments later I roared louder than a dinosaur. Henceforth a tree fell onto the lion and it groaned wearily. I ambled out of the forest and found my way home. I was exhausted when I arrived.
By Om


I didn't know where to go what path to take I was lost in the rainforest. I didn't know where my parents were or my family so I walked on a path however that didn't lead to my family. I walked on another path and that finally leaded to my family I was so happy.
by Caitlin


 I didn't know where to go because I lost my way in the forest to the campsite. A while later I started left, then right. All I could see was trees everywhere. I glanced up. After that stared down. All I could see was the grass and the leaves. Later on, I saw a table full of food, so came closer to get a gaze at the food and, "Surprize!! happy birthday Charlie."
by Meldaan


I didn't know where to go so I hid under the covers of my bed. One hour later the kitchen light turned on and I heard the creaking of the floor. I saw a shadow from my bedroom. ''Could it be a ... no.''
'Is it dad?  Help.''
I ran to my parent's bed room. ''Mum.'' but I heard no answer, so I ran to the kitchen and hid behind the bench. I heard a voice '' I know you're here kid ...
by Issie


I didn't know where to go because I was in mid air. I was lost in an enchanted rainforest. I tried to draw a world map but I couldn't .All of the animals were enchanted. a little puppy dog raced to me and shouted to me. Suddenly a flash of light took me home and I was very happy.
By Shreya
I didn't know where to go as the trees creaked. Listening to the snapping crocodiles and the howling wolves I shivered. I ran like lightning as my coat flew out of my hands. Suddenly I heard a very unsatisfying cry. Thereupon my head an object hovered continuously.

Journal writing in 2J: As the door slammed I knew... Please read and leave a comment.

As the door slamed I knew that the lights flickerd there after they turned of. Suddenly I heard loud footsteps. I tried going back to sleep but I couldn't. I was frightened then I tried going back to sleep but I still couldn't. It was eventually my mother she whispered, 'The power just turned of.
By Selena


As the door slammed I knew that someone or something was lurching  around the house. I turned one way then the other. As I  turned I heard noises. I was super scared. At least I was just my cat and the floor creaking.
By Finn


As the door slammed I knew it was a spooky ghost I shrugged. The ghost was hunting
for me so I ran and ran I ran as fast as I could but it was still after me. Then it magically
disappeared. By Marcus




As the door slammed I knew water was coming from down the door. I opened the door and saw three pipes. It was spraying water everywhere. I turned off the three pipes. It stopped spraying water everywhere.  By Kylie




As soon as the door slammed I knew something bad had happened. I swung the door opened but there wasn't a sound heard. Slower then a baby crawling, I tip-toed down the staircase silence.
It was morning and breakfast was ready so I ate. After eating my breakfast, I slowly walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Just before I started to walk, everybody surprised me.

Journal writing: A time when I was brave was... Please read and leave a comment.

A time in my life when I was brave was when I was four. I had to go to the hospital and get a needle. I thought it would hurt and it did, but I didn't cry and I was very scaared.
By Selena


I A time in my life when I was brave was four years ago. It was at the end of the year and I was going to a preschool for older children who are about five years old. I was really scared and nervous but happy for myself because I was moving on to being a greater person. I was really proud of myself of moving on and being brave by not staying in the preschool for younger children.
By Evie
 A time in my life when I was brave was when I was on a cruise. There was a yellow water slide and I felt afraid, but I was brave and tried it out. I started having fun. Another time when I was brave was another water slide and water at the end. There was a curve at the end as well. I was brave enough to try it out to. I was afraid.
By Om
A time in my life when I was brave was when I was at tree-tops and I decided to move onto a harder level even though I was not sure if I should. I felt nervous.
By Hannah
