Year 2 Update

Upcoming learning in Year 2 

During the next fortnight, Year 2 students are undertaking learning in the following areas:

Reading - Students will be engaging in literacy activities using the Little Learners Love Literacy program. Class will be starting their small group reading sessions to help support students with their reading, comprehension and fluency. 

Writing - Students have begun Narrative writing by creating characters and settings as part of their writing. Over the coming weeks students will look at the different elements of what makes a narrative.  

Maths - Students have started a block of work looking at the place value system. They will be using lots of hands on materials to make, read and write numbers. They will explore the skills of expanding, renaming and partitioning.  

SEL - Students will be continuing to build connections with their peers and teachers. They will also talk about mindset and learning about fixed and growth mindset.

News and reminders: 

Hats: Please remember hats are required throughout terms 1 (until April) and 4. Students without hats will be asked to sit/play under the shade sail on the courtyard steps.

Drink bottles: Please remember to bring a drink bottle to school every day, but more importantly throughout the summer terms. It saves disruption to your child's learning when this is accessible within the room.

Home Reading: Take home readers have started. We encourage all students to bring their reader bag back each week to change over their books. Please make sure you are recording when your children are reading each night.
