Welcome to Room 2 for 2010.

This blog has been set up as a showcase for our work this year.
It is a good way to connect school and home, to share what we have been doing in class.

"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen

We read the novel "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen and as part of our contract we created some shelters that might have looked like the one that Brian had made. We were only allowed to use rocks, stones, sand, dirt, sticks and twigs - things that Brian would have used. Have a look at some of our creations.
