Hello family and friends of Year 2,

We have had a great start to term 2! Earlier in the term we celebrated the Feast of St Joseph. Congratulations to all our Spirit of St Joseph Award recipients. Under 8s day was held at WCC this year and thank you to all the families and friends who came along for a morning of fun!

Across our English learning area, the students have been building background knowledge on Australian Animals. We have explored the different text structures of informative texts, and we will be constructing our own information report as the term continues.

In maths we have been exploring the concept of money – representing, calculating and ordering various amounts. As the term continues the students will investigate directional language such as clockwise, left, right and representing categorical data in different ways.

Thank you for sharing your different toys with us! The students have been using them to demonstrate various forces such as push and pull. In science, the students are designing their own toy and as a part of technology, they will outline the appropriate materials to use in order for the toy to function properly.

Our Athletics Carnival is fast approaching – please keep an eye out for the schedules and run sheets. If you are available to help set up on the day please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated!

A gentle reminder that homework is given out and to be returned on Mondays. Please ensure that all school library books are returned – our library day is also Monday. If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards,

Emily
