  Good afternoon  parents, Wow! What an absolutely busy yet fun first full week we have had in the Year Two team since swimming lessons have finished and we are into full days of learning.  Can you believe it is already week 3? I am so proud of how much focus and persistence with a positive attitude our Year Two team are showing when learning new things. In just a few weeks we are already growing our confidence to problem solve and continuing to build our independence to complete our work, try out new things and even suggest and share our own ideas and other ways we can show what we know and have learnt.    Thank you to all who have made the time to read through the parent information slides posted last week and read through the other information in the previous posts. I hope it was a great way to find out the 'nitty gritty' of  Year Two learning and life in our class. Please feel free to refer back to the previous blog post for a link to the slides present...

  Hi everyone,  Welcome to the 2023 parent information night for Year Two. This year we are back to presenting it face to face now that the COVID restrictions have been lifted. We understand that in previous years, it might have been a bit difficult for some people to attend due to other commitments, so we are very privileged to be able to present this to you all in an online capacity AND in person on Monday 13th February at 5:30pm in the Year Two classrooms. We are so excited to teach your children and have already had such a great two weeks getting to know everyone. We would love for you to have a look through the presentation so you are informed about the ins and outs of Year Two.  Whilst the whole presentation is important, there are a few slides that relate to time tabling and academic information. Please find below the link to access the powerpoint presentation: YEAR TWO PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT We want to thank you again for taking the time to go through the presen...
