What we are doing in class

During the Inquiry unit, students have been exploring the oceans and continents of the world, helping them make connections to Australia’s location and significance in the world. In mathematics, we have wrapped up our place value topic and are starting the topic of money and Australian currency. In literacy we are continuing to build upon our Little Learners codes as well as exploring features and writing of narratives. 

Incursion

The Drama Toolbox visits us for an incursion on the 1st of May. Students will learn about fairytales, dress up in fun fairytale costumes and create their own stories. This aligns with our writing focus for the term. Please make sure you confirm attendance of your child via compass. 

Life Education

We will be having a visit from Life Education during May, these sessions for year 2’s will focus on growing friendships and how to be good friends.
