Dear parents,

It is hard to believe that there is only seven weeks to go until the children finish Year Two!

Year 2 Cultural Excursion – Meelup – tomorrow

Please send your child to school in their sport uniform for our cultural excursion to Meelup. We will leave by bus at 9:15am and return to school at approx. 12:00pm.

School photos will be taken on Thursday 26 October. Photo information was sent home last week for ordering. The Year 2 students are expected to wear their formal school uniforms on photo day.

Grandparents Day – Friday, 3 November (week 4)

This will be celebrated on Friday the 3rd of November so please make sure that your child has taken the time to invite their grandparents along if possible. Grandparents are invited to gather in the hall for a 9am start assembly.

At 9:30am, grandparents are invited to visit the classrooms of their grandchildren where we will show them some of our fantastic work that we have completed over the term (similar to learning journeys).

We will then all gather in the undercover area for a shared morning tea with their grandchildren from 10:40am.

Homework

Below are our Fluency grids, spelling lists and focus sounds for weeks 3 and 4.

 



Learning Intentions

English: 

This week we are learning the sound 'ge' as in cage, 'dge' as in bridge and suffixes.  This fortnight’s tricky words are: though, around, interesting & shouldn't. 

 

We have been reviewing what a narrative text is and the purpose of a narrative text:

  • ·         entertain the reader
  • ·         sometimes teach a life lesson

We have reading and discussing our shortened mentor text ‘Tiddler the Story Telling Fish’.  We have been reconstructing the mentor text (orientation, build up, complication, climax, resolution & ending) and brainstorming ideas that can be used when creating their own version of the mentor text. 

Please see below our class mentor text which demonstrates what the children should be consolidating and extending on since this was taught in Term One and is a revision.

 


Important dates: 

•          Grandparents Day – Friday, 3 November (week 4)

•          AGM – Wednesday, 8 November (week 5)

•          Pupil Free Day - Friday, 10 November 

•          K – 2 Dance Concert – Friday, 17 November (week 6)

•          OLC Christmas Concert - Wednesday 29 November (week 8)

•          OLC Colour Run & Last Day of School for Students – Friday 8 December (week 9)

Wishing everyone a great week.

 

Kind regards

Kaya
