From the Year 2 Classroom
Sacred Heart Primary School Yarrawonga
We ended Term 3, with a BANG! Our Excursion to Twisted Science, Planting Seeds with Tim from Bunnings for our Creation Unit in Religion and Footy Colours Parade.
Term 4
It’s hard to believe that we are already in Term 4! We are ready for a busy but fun-filled term of learning, growing and making memories together. It is going to be a very busy term, so please keep up to date with the events and important dates coming up so you don’t miss anything! Please ensure students have their hats clearly labelled with their name.
Literacy
In Literacy, we are learning to Monitor our reading by ensuring that we read fluently, stop and retell, check for understanding- did that make sense? and then Fix- re-read if we need too.
In Writing, we are learning to write poetry. We have written a one-word poem about out holidays, and we will write other one-word poems about various topics, such as food, focusing on using a range of descriptive language. Next week we will look at Simile Poems.
In Spelling, we have been learning to spell words that have the 'ch' phoneme, 'tch' as in catch or 'ch' as in lunch, words ending with 'tion' and words that have the digraph- 'au' as in launch or 'aw' as in claw. Our Tricky Words are- women, after, laugh, believe, saw and before.
Mathematics
In Mathematics, we are learning about Fractions. Halves, quarters and eights. Some of us are also learning how to halve and quarter using decimals.
Religion
In Religion, we are learning about The Good News. In this unit, we will explore the Old and New Testament and learn about some of the stories in each part. Students will relate these stories back to their own lives.
Inquiry
In Inquiry, we are learning all about sound! We are exploring how sound is produced and how sounds can make materials vibrate. We will also investigate how different actions can create sounds with varying pitch and volume through a range of fun, hands-on activities and experiments.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
