Year 2-Week 10

Over the last two weeks we have begun wrapping up our units on Place Value and Narratives! In Maths we have demonstrated our amazing place value skills and begun applying it to skills like estimating and rounding. In Narratives our students have been working hard to publish their work into good copies, creating some amazing pieces of writing. 

Supporting Your Child's Learning at Home 

If you are looking for ways to support your child's learning at home you may wish to try some of the ideas below.

Reading

• Using the take home readers every night. 
• Reading for fun with a book of choice to build interest in reading. 
• Asking questions about the book as you read. 

Writing 

• Practising writing sentences that include full stops and capital letters. 
• Using our phonetic knowledge to spell new and unfamiliar words. 
• Incorporating adjectives into writing. 

Maths  

• Practise skip counting by 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's. 
• Practise simple addition and subtraction facts. 
• Encouraging reading analogue clocks and talking about the times of day. 

Take Home Reading 

Take home reading is well and truly underway! In Year 2 we swap our readers on the same day we visit the library and students will bring home two new books each week. Repeating the same books over the week allows time to comprehend different parts of the text and develop a deeper understanding of what we are reading. Take home reading will continue over the school holidays. 

Hats 

A friendly reminder that school hats are still required to be worn during recess and lunch. Students who do not have a hat will have to spend recess and lunch under the shade sails. We also encourage wearing sunscreen and drinking plenty of water during the school day.
