The students have been busy learning about the world around them and how they are connected to it. Through our Design Technologies and Geography study we have been learning about places and their features, particularly farms, the food and fibre they produce. We have been making connections with the things we use in daily life, where they are produced within Australia and the world. This also ties in the skills needed to read maps and to locate places.  Lots of new vocabulary has been learnt in Geography including continent, equator and scale. While in Design Technologies new vocabulary words introduced are harvest, factory, dairy, produce and sustainability.

We have been focusing on our role in reducing, reusing and recycling. We particularly focussed on how to use resources such as food and water, sustainably.

Thank you to everyone who returned their Science mixtures homework and Design Technologies products from around the world. All the wonderful things discovered at home has inspired our classroom learning.

Sight words will be tested each afternoon again instead of only on Fridays. Please have your child bring their folder in and place it in the tub whenever they are ready for a test. We can test about 3 or 4 students per day. If we don’t get to you the first day, we will the following.

Just a reminder about fruit snack being a quick and easy snack to be placed on each child’s desk ready for the day.

There are currently ten students from Year 2 hitting our target of 95% or higher attendance.  Have a great weekend!
