Learning in Year 2

Writing

In writing, we have been strengthening our persuasive writing skills. We have written some persuasive pieces on a variety of topics and have even started using persuasive techniques. Our focus has been exaggeration and rhetorical questions, to help make their arguments more interesting and convincing.

Maths

In Mathematics, students have been developing their understanding of money, fractions and problem-solving. We have been learning to recognise Australian coins and notes, calculate the value of different amounts and solve simple money problems. Students have explored fractions by identifying and representing equal parts of a whole, including halves, quarters and thirds. We have also been developing their problem-solving skills by using mathematical strategies, explaining their thinking and applying their knowledge to a range of real-life situations.

Integrated

In Integrated we have begun our topic ‘Now and Then’. we will be looking at how life was different for our parents and grandparents to our life now. We have discussed how toys of the past and present are different and then we chose a toy from the past and a toy from the present and wrote and drew about it. We also created a timeline of how transport has changed over time and then discussed what we observed.

Reading

In reading we are enjoying reading ‘Matilda’ together as a class. We have been exploring the characters, events and themes within the story. Students have been practising their reading comprehension skills by making predictions, sharing their ideas and discussing what might happen next.

Cross Country

Our Grade 2 students showed incredible determination and spirit during their recent cross-country event. Every runner gave their absolute best with happy smiles and fantastic energy from start to finish. It was wonderful to see them cheering each other on, displaying excellent sportsmanship. Every single student should be incredibly proud of their outstanding effort and achievement!

Cricket Clinic

Our enthusiastic Grade 2 students recently participated in an exciting cricket clinic, learning the fundamentals of the game through fun, interactive drills. The children had a fantastic time developing their catching, throwing, and hitting skills while practicing great teamwork and sportsmanship.
