Year 2 Garden Reflection

Penny in 2D: “We learned that life cycles are a process of change. We also learned how some trees lose their leaves and others don't. The ones that don't are called evergreen trees. The trees that lose leaves were brought to Australia from colder places. Trees lose leaves so snow won't break their branches."

 

Daisy in 2D:” We have an inquiry into life cycles as a process of change. When the leaves fall, they sound like a waterfall. They also sound like whispering and rustling. I like how we got to look and examine the leaves before we drew them. I think that it’s quite interesting that Australian trees are only evergreen trees and that colourful ones are from other countries. I love how interesting leaves are and I hope you do too!”

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Auburn South Primary School is excited to be participating. The PRC application offers a range of exciting features including:

  • access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)
  • a modern user-friendly interface
  • rewarding students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved
  • the option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 8 September 2023.

 

Students’ from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Students’ from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.

 

All students’ who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
