Connect: Year 2
Hello Grade 2 Families,
We’re working hard to remind students to reach out to a yard duty teacher if any issues come up in the yard. We’d love your help by encouraging them at home to do the same!
Little Learners Online Platform
We have assigned appropriate 'stages' to your child based on recent assessment. They are able to choose from any of the texts that appear.
If your child does not have their Password Bookmark, please ensure their blue satchel is in their bag so we can send this home ASAP.

REMINDERS:
- Learning starts promptly in the morning. Please remember to take/remind your child to use the toilet before the 8.45am bell so nothing important is missed.
- Library days: 2A - Tuesday, 2B - Wednesday, 2C - Wednesday. Please ensure your child's satchel and/or library bag is packed or they will not be able to borrow for home. (The specialist timetable for each class can be seen below.)
- We are noticing a number of students are requiring ongoing support to tie their shoelaces and this is becoming a big distraction in the classroom. Here is a handy video they can watch to practise - EASIEST shoe tying trick ever
