Year Two Team News

Hello Year Two families,

We are now approaching the time of the year where we can reflect on what a great year it has been and enjoy the last week together as a Year Two cohort. We are incredibly proud of the progress all our Year Twos have made.

Over the past two weeks, our Year Twos have been working diligently to prepare a variety of craft items to sell at this year's Wishing Tree Stall. It has been wonderful to see many of the students embracing the glitter and paint with enthusiasm while decorating a range of Christmas decorations and ornaments.

The Wishing Tree Stall was a great success and our students did a fabulous job at hosting classes from across the school. Running the stall provided an opportunity for our Year Twos to step up, as they helped students consider what to buy, and they calculated the correct change. We will notify you via email over the coming days as to how much was raised.

A special ‘shout out’ must go to all the families who helped out by making and donating baked goods to sell. Sweet treats are often a hit with the students and baked goods often sell out fast and help us to raise more funds for families in need. We are really appreciative your efforts, kindness, and generosity.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for your support this year. We have had a wonderful year together and are extremely excited about seeing the students step up to Year Three. We hope you have a relaxing break during the festive season and best wishes for 2026.

Curriculum Focus: Week 11 Term 4 

Literacy: In Reading, we will be revising a number of strategies that we have focused on throughout the year. In Writing, we will be writing narratives in pairs or in small groups.

Numeracy:  We will be revising analogue time and money. 

Willy Kids: Our Willy Kid topic to finish off the year is ‘Celebrate’. We will dedicate time in class to reflect on our achievements and the progress we have made throughout the year. There is certainly a lot that our students should feel extremely proud of.

Until next time,
