Book Week Fun

Year 2 students really enjoyed participating in the Book Week parade and completing their book, ‘Tiwi In Paris’ activity and designing a poster reflecting on the parade.

Maths

Students have explored the connection between patterns, skip counting, making ‘groups of’, repeated addition, and using arrays, to build multiplicative thinking. They learnt how to link this to division. Here are some work samples from 2B.
