Year 2 Update

Our Learning -Term 4, Weeks 3 & 4

The Year 2 students and teachers have had a great start back to term four! We have got straight back into our classroom routines and making sure we are ready to learn and focus.

In our Literacy block we have immersed the students in persuasive writing. We have looked at a range of text and their persuasive features. Students are working hard on stating their opinion and giving evidence to support it.

During Maths we have looked at fact families and this week we have begun exploring fractions.

Throughout our SEL sessions, we are revisiting the expectations of students and looking at the matrix.
