Year 2 News

Dear Families,

It’s hard to believe we’re already in Week 9 of Term 2! Our students have had a busy and exciting few weeks. Week 6’s excursion to the aquarium was a highlight and sparked some fantastic discussions. 

In English, students have continued creating imaginative stories inspired by the work of Peter Carnavas. It’s been wonderful to see their creativity shine through as they develop their own narratives.

In Maths, we’ve been exploring the concepts of doubling and halving through hands-on games and activities, helping students strengthen their number sense in fun and engaging ways.

Looking ahead, we’re excited for this week’s Strengths Spotting Week, where we’ll be celebrating the unique strengths each of us brings to our learning community. We also have swimming coming up in Week 10, followed closely by the end of term!

Thank you for your ongoing support—it’s been a fantastic term so far, and we look forward to finishing it strong!
