YIS is getting ready for Sports Day this Friday!
Check out the video and keep an eye out for a certain class (right at the beginning!) and a certain teacher (just towards the end)!
Check out the video below to see what 2R have been up to in PE!
Thanks Ms. Buehler!
The past few weeks have seen so many visitors come to 2R to enrich our classroom life. I felt it was time to do a quick photo-summary of some of these interactions with our community, and to share our great learning experiences!

Today’s post is from Yo, in her words!
First when we played I was the dentist and I was a little shy. I looked at Braden’s tooth and I draw the colour. Next Braden was the dentist and I eat a tablet. At first I thought it was so yucky but it was so sweet.
How were your teeth?
No! I have only one plaque!
What about the comic?
I make everyone know what the dentist experiment was. I tell the story of doing the dentist and doing the patient. I was so happy!

As part of our study of how leading a balanced lifestyle helps us stay healthy, 2R had dentists in to visit the class. Today, we had a chance to be dentists ourselves! We learned all about plaque and tartar, and then got a chance to see how effective our own teeth cleaning was! Blue on our teeth means plaque! Don’t forget to floss!
Watch our video and turn up the sound!
Today in PE we learned about the importance of balance in play and rest, as well as learning about the different food groups. To learn about the different food groups and how each group helps the body, students rotated around 6 stations. At each station students had a task to complete, each task helped students to learn about food groups and helped to improve their skills in Benchball. Below are some pictures from today’s PE lesson.
This is Louis talking about dentists coming.
After morning recess, some special dentist visitors came to our class to talk about what happens when you leave plaque. Germs will be biting your teeth. We also did an experiment to see which drink is sweeter. Cup A was really sweet and taste strange, and cup B taste like lemon a bit. They put 12 sticks of sugar in a water bottle, then shook it and pour it into the cups with the letter A. Them everyone tried one of the cups out. Then they put yellow food color and magic powder, and shook it again. Then, they poured it into the cups with the letter B. Then, everyone tried one of the cups out. The answer of which drink was sweeter was cup A!!!!!
On Tuesday morning, the wonderful team from Dr. Kaku’s Dental Office came to visit second grade to teach us about dental hygiene, and how to take good care of our teeth! Enjoy the photos, cut down on the surgar, and don’t forget to brush!

2R students started this week by showing each other the snacks they’d brought from home, or bought in the canteen. Then, we asked ourselves two questions:
