Grade 2 Community News

Dear Grade 2 Families,

Our students have done their absolute best this term and we couldn’t be more proud of them. As we go through the year we are seeing huge improvements in student learning of routines and new content.

English

In InitiaLit this term, we have been focusing on understanding texts using a variety of comprehension strategies. This has included learning about the features within persuasive texts, imaginative texts and informative texts and also learning how to make smart predictions to understand our texts on a greater level. We have also been working on mastering spelling rules to aid with spelling of difficult words. Our students are doing great. 

Maths

In maths this term, our students are continuing to develop their understanding of number. To further develop students understanding of number we have been learning about 3 digit numbers, ordering numbers and reading numbers. Our students have also been learning tricky addition and subtraction with a focus on regrouping. Measurement has also been explored this term in fun and engaging ways. Our students have just begun learning about how to use formal units to measure objects. They’re doing great with his tricky concept!

Knowledge Building

Our grade 2 students are loving learning about History. To explore this topic our students have been comparing past, present and future and have even completed a take home task about life in the past. Our students have shown great enthusiasm in this topic and are making excellent progress!

Reminders

-    Hats! Another reminder that In term 1 students are expected to wear their hats in the yard. Please make sure they come to school with a Tarneit Rise hat every day and that this hat is clearly labelled with your child’s name and grade.

-    Reading every night - Some students have now reached beyond 25 nights of reading! Keep it up!

-    Arrive on time - School starts at 8:45am. Please ensure that your child is at their classroom by this time, ready for learning to begin.
