The other week, we made bread. Srey Neang (Lucas's mum) came and shared her expertise with the grade 2 children. They loved exploring the process of how bread was made, and each made their own bread roll. They were simply delicious!

Moo Moo Farms
Our visit to Moo Moo farms was fantastic. To find out more about the farm click here
Today we went to Moo Moo Farms in Phnom Penh. We went by bus. It was really smelly...(the farm, not the bus!) Hana
The farm is owned by Kenneth Matthews and Matthew Boyd. They are from America. Mimi
The cows in this picture are eating. They are fed corn, hay, grass and grains. Sorriaj and Ngy Meng
The animals in this picture are only calves. They are big enough now to eat hay but they still get their mothers milk. Wadia.
The cows would not have any milk if they did not have babies, so that is why the farmers let them have calves. Boramey.
This man is Kenny Matthews, he is holding a milking machine. They use suction cups to get the milk from the cows udder. Sophia H
I learned that the cows are milked every day. Lucas.
I found out that milking the cows does not hurt them. When their udders are full of milk it hurts, so they like being milked. Yewon
As we were watching the cows, I noticed something really creepy! When the cows looks straight ahead their eyeballs are not in the middle. Sophia M
It was funny how the cows kept licking their noses. Nith
One of the cows licked Ms Karyns bag. Hana

The weeks are rolling by!
Three weeks of school left and I have to farewell my awesome Grade Two class! We have been insanely busy! Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to.
On Friday Mr Andy from Epicure came and talked to grade two about food production and distribution. We gained some valuable insight into what goes on behind the scenes at our cafeteria. Thank you Mr Andy.
In mathematics we reviewed our understanding of basic fractions. Here are some of our pizza parlour problems.
We have now had our third minecraft session to our unit. This valuable learning engagement had allowed learners to experience real life situations from farm to marketplace that Mr Matt has created for us. We can't wait for our session next week.
We completed our research into staple food crops. These are ready to present to the class. We completed some artworks on the food crops we investigated.
We loved our 'Wheat production simulation'. In this activity we were assigned roles as farmers, transporters, millers, bakers, shopkeepers, or bankers and had to work through the production process, creating, buying, and selling goods. It really helped us understand food production better and there was some fantastic mathematical thinking happening around profit margins and sales tactics!

Last week we worked in groups to present our Reader's Theatre scripts. It was fun to practice communicating confidently with the audience.

Whats Happening in Grade Two?
We have been busy over the past few weeks! In PE we are loving taking gymnastics. Here are a few pictures of us in action!
During writing we have been learning to express ourselves through poetry and have been using our imaginations to write out own mini picture books. We enjoyed sharing these with each-other.
We are currently delving deeper into our 'How We Organise ourselves unit -Food as Resource'. In pairs we are investigating important staple crops of the World and fining out how they are grown, produced, distributed, and used. Later this week we will present our findings to the class.
Many of us attended the Art Auction on Saturday. Our classes beautiful artwork was won a a student in Ms Courtney's class. It was a wonderful event!
