Year 2 Update

Upcoming learning in Year 2 

During the next fortnight, Year 2 students are undertaking learning in the following areas:

Reading - Students will be engaging in literacy activities using the Little Learners Love Literacy program. During reading classes will be using a range of different text to expand their comprehension. We will look at answering questions, making connections and expanding their vocabulary. 

Writing - Students will start a block of learning on persuasive writing. They will explore the different elements of a persuasive such as stating their opinion, giving reasons and providing evidence. 

Maths - Year 2 students have really enjoyed completing the hands-on activities in Maths when learning about graphing. Students will now be looking at telling the time, reading a calendar and making connections between season and the months of the year. 

SEL - Students will be continuing to build connections with their peers and teachers. Classes will explore how to play fairly with their peers and together with their class. They will make an agreement of steps to following when playing outside in the playground.

News and reminders: 

Hats: Please remember hats are required throughout terms 1 (until April) and 4. Students without hats will be asked to sit/play under the shade sail on the courtyard steps.

Drink bottles: Please remember to bring a drink bottle to school every day, but more importantly throughout the summer terms. It saves disruption to your child's learning when this is accessible within the room.

Home Reading: Take home readers have started. We encourage all students to bring their reader bag back each week to change over their books. Please make sure you are recording when your children are reading each night.
