Learning

In Term 3, the Grade 2 students are focusing on the following:

• Reading – Exploring a range of comprehension strategies such as making predictions, text connections and inferring character behaviours and emotions throughout a text. Students will also be building their knowledge of sounds and letters through daily Heggerty and manipulating different sounds. 

• Writing – Students will be exploring the structure and use of informational texts by having multiple exposures to different informational texts about Australian animals. This will culminate in students exploring the writing process to create an informational poster about an Australian animal of their choice.

• Numeracy – Students will be learning different strategies to use with their multiplication and division skills with numbers to 20 using various materials. They will also learn fractions of shapes and collections as well as learn about duration and location relating to how to use a grid map.
• Inquiry – Students will be learning the unit of ‘Geography’ focusing on Australia and our place in the world. They will also be learning about continents and oceans around the world.

Home Learning

Home Reading – read everyday for at least 10 min. Children should be reading their “I read to you” book and parents should be reading, or assisting children to read the “Read to me” books. Books will be changed once a week. Please be aware of your child’s day to change their home readers and make sure they have their home reading folder on the correct day.

Math Seeds & Reading Eggs – your child can log into these apps/websites at home to practice their reading and numeracy. (if you don’t have the login details, please contact the classroom teacher)
