Year Two Team News

Hello Year Two families,

It was wonderful to see our students showing off their dance moves at the school disco back in Week 2, with the conga line proving to be a favourite among many!

Our classrooms have been buzzing with excitement and learning as we dive into our new Inquiry unit, What’s in My Garden and Why Does It Matter? Students have been enjoying exploring the fascinating world of insects through Epic, an online reading library, and discovering why these tiny creatures play such an important role in our gardens and environment.

Year 2 Camp

We wish our first group of campers well as they head to Scienceworks for their Grade 2 sleep over! 

Curriculum Focus: Weeks 5 and 6

Literacy: In Reading, students will continue to complete comprehension activities based on this term’s class novel, ‘James and the Giant Peach.’ In Writing, students will continue developing the skills of researching and note taking whilst exploring non fiction texts linked to our Inquiry unit on Epic.

Numeracy:  Students will revise and consolidate their addition and subtraction skills and understandings. Time will also be allocated to completing Mathematics assessment tasks over this fortnight.

Inquiry:  Students will continue exploring our Inquiry topic this fortnight, integrated with our literacy lessons.

Willy Kids: Through the pillar of Responsibility, students will discuss the importance of being honest at home, school and within the community. Students will role play situations with peers that demonstrate honesty and integrity.

Until next time,

The Grade Two Team - Joel Kitchen (2J), Bianca Italiano / Zoe Kitchen (2I) & Rochelle White (2W)
