Mid-week Sneak Peek

  Dear parents We have had a busy day. Today we started a new Recount, with our class having the staring roll. After a class discussion, we decided to put on a cloak of invisibility and spy on our Year 6 buddies! First, we put on our cloak of invisibility and went into spy mode to sneak from wall to wall so no-one would find us. Once we made it safely without being seen, we put on our spy glasses and looked into the Year 6 classroom. We saw that they were working hard. Next, we went to the adventure playground and used our spy glasses to watch the Year 2 sport lesson on the oval. Can you guess what sport we saw? If you would like to find out what happened next, please ask your child were we went and what we saw. Some hints for you to help prompt their story telling: ·          Tall poles in the adventure playground ·          Chickens ·          Ou...

  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...
