What have we been up to?
We have well and truly settled into year two! We have been busy learning new things, creating friendships and building our classroom routines! It has been so lovely to see their independence and confidence grow already!
Leader in Me Lessons
Our leader In me sessions have been facilitated by Ms Telegin. She has been guiding the students through understanding each habit and how we can use them in our personal and school life.
In Literacy, we have a range of lessons that support the growth of each student's literacy learning. This includes; Phonics, Write 2 learn, Fluency, Handwriting and Literacy (Reading).

In Inquiry, we are learning about our Earth and its resources and how we can look after it. So far, we have focused on recycling and where our rubbish can go. We discussed how we can do this both at home and at school!

Important reminders:
- Please don’t forget to bring in your hats and water bottles in term 1 and 4 as we have had and will be having more hot days.
- We are beginning to send take-home readers each week. Your child will not be able to take home a book without a reading satchel. If your child does not have one, please reach out to your classroom teacher.
