Grade 2 Community News

Dear Grade 2 Families,

Warm greetings! As we go into Weeks 5 and 6, we are halfway through Term 2 and are continuing to have an amazing time learning in Grade 2. The students are continuously working super hard with our new maths and literacy concepts and are reaching for the stars to achieve their learning goals.

English

In InitiaLit, we have been learning suffixes and prefixes that is added to base words, such as ‘ing’, ‘ful’ and ‘un’, along with new tricky words such as already and across. Each week we have been focusing on new vocabulary words and identifying if they are nouns, verbs or adjectives. During comprehension lessons, we were learning how to make text-to-world connections while we read to enhance our understanding.

Maths

In maths, we have been learning how to read and write 4-digit numbers, as well as continuing our learning about concepts such as 2D shapes and capacity. 

Knowledge Building

We have continued our learning about people and places in our local community and the history behind it Including the Werribee Train Station and RAAF base Point Cook.

Reminders:

• Excursion - We are visiting the Werribee Mansion later in the term. Please check compass for more details.
• Reading every night – Please continue to encourage your child to read at home every night, the reading journals gets filled in and gets brought to school on their allocated days. 
• Arrive on time - School starts at 8:45am. Please ensure that your child is at their classroom by this time, ready for learning to begin.
