 Term 1 Week 4 Year 2 Newsletter

Dear Year 2 parents & guardians,

Welcome to Week 4! It’s been a smooth start to the 2025 school year and we are loving getting to know our new class families. Thanks to the grown ups who came out to the Year 2 Info Night in Week 2 - much appreciated.

What we’ve been up to in Year 2:

• Students are settling into their new rooms and classroom routines really well
• Getting to know about each other through games and activities
• Recapping on the ENPS C.A.R.E values and what these look and feel like
• Discussing the ‘group plan’ and practising following this
• Revisiting the Zones of Regulation
• Revising our Stage 7 Little Learners phonemes (sounds - oral) and graphemes (letters that represent the sounds - written)
• Looking at patterns and algebra in maths (number sequences; greater than, less than, equal to; numbers before and after; missing numbers in a sequence)
• Discussing what family life looks like in our homes

Reminders:

• Bundoora Farm excursion: please see Compass for details, permission and payment (NOTE: parents helpers will be needed for this. An email will be sent in coming weeks with information about this)
• Hats: Term 1 is a hat term, so please check your child has their hat at school
• Library bags: check your child’s Library day and that they have a library bag to borrow books
