Year 2-Weeks 6 & 7

In Year Two we have continued engaging with place value in Mathematics with a focus on engaging, hands on activities that help our students grasp the concepts we are teaching. We have further explored the features of narratives with opportunities to write exciting stories in class. 

Congratulations to our new SRC Representatives for 2025! 

Supporting Your Child's Learning at Home 

If you are looking for ways to support your child's learning at home you may wish to try some of the ideas below.

Reading

• Using the take home readers every night. 
• Reading for fun with a book of choice to build interest in reading. 
• Asking questions about the book as you read. 

Writing 

• Practising writing sentences that include full stops and capital letters. 
• Using our phonetic knowledge to spell new and unfamiliar words. 

Maths  

• Practise skip counting by 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's. 
• Practise simple addition and subtraction facts. 
• Encouraging reading analogue clocks and talking about the times of day. 

Take Home Reading 

Take home reading is well and truly underway! In Year 2 we swap our readers on the same day we visit library and students will bring home two new books each week. Repeating the same books over the week allows time to comprehend different parts of the text and develop a deeper understanding of what we are reading. 

Hats 

A friendly reminder that school hats are required to be worn during recess and lunch. Students who do not have a hat will have to spend recess and lunch under the shade sails. We also encourage wearing sunscreen and drinking plenty of water during the school day.
