YEAR 2

FROM THE TEAM

We have had a wonderful week in Year 2 this week. The students are excited to be creating their own narrative stories this week and have had a great time being creative with their characters. They have also enjoyed learning to tell the time, with students exploring hands on activities with miniature clocks. We are looking forward to the colour run coming up next month, as well as the Easter Bonnet Parade at the end of term. 

LEARNING INTENTIONS FOR NEXT WEEK

LITERACY

In Reading, we will continue to learn to identify key vocabulary in texts we read, discover the main idea of stories, and summarise the events in a text.

In Writing, we are learning to write our own narrative texts based on Trixie Trickster and use our plan to independently write our own story using the tools learnt.

MATHS

We are learning to use strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems. 

INQUIRY

We are learning to explore our family traditions and celebrations. 

WELLBEING

We are learning to use cooperation and teamwork to collaborate in a friendly way. 

SOMETHING TO WORK ON

Shoelaces

Many of our children have laces on their shoes this year. Please work with your children to help them be independent when tying their own laces! 

Home Reading

Home readers should now be coming home nightly. We encourage all students to bring their reader bags and diaries each day to school. Please encourage your child to do the book entries on their own. Where it says ‘homework’, we kindly ask that they write their nights of reading so we can celebrate their success!

Labelling

A reminder to please ensure that hats, jumpers, jackets, drink bottles and lunch boxes are all clearly named. Items that are named are far more likely to be returned to you. 

Inquiry Homework

If your child has brought home a family questionnaire to help with our Inquiry Unit, can you please ensure it is completed and returned to school as soon as possible? Thank you.
