Wellbeing Incursion at 9:15am for the Grade 2’s
April 2nd
Last day of term - early finish at 2:30pm.
Term 1 learning with Grade 2’s
The Grade 2’s have completed two weeks of the start up program where students focused on learning their new classroom routines and getting to know their new class members and teachers.
In Term 1, the Grade 2 teachers have designed structured lessons where students will be engaged and reach success. Please see below the content that will be taught this term:
Reading Comprehension - Students will be exposed to many different texts created by fantastic authors and use this opportunity to learn reading strategies to help them have a deeper understanding of the literature and the author's purpose.
Phonics - Students will be learning many different spelling rules for different sounds. Students will then use this phonemic awareness knowledge to read set fluency texts each week.
Writing - Students will be learning how to use the 3W’s (when, where and why) to enhance their sentences and add detail to their writing. Students will also deep dive into understanding the features of a narrative text by studying the text “The Day the Crayon Came Home”.
Maths - Students will be participating in the new Explicit Maths Program. This is where students will take part in Daily Review questions, Multiple exposure to teacher completed examples and complete independent practice. Some of the areas that the students will be learning about are number bonds, reading and writing 3- digit numbers and 2-D shapes.
Wellbeing - Students will be participating in designed lessons that are directly linked to our school values. This will build their understanding of the expected behaviour at school and create a safe and calm environment for all.
History - Students are learning about how life was lived a long time ago including how people sent messages to each other, the toys that were played with and transport that was used.
Home Reading
Home reading/ Readers will commence later in the term and a Compass email will be sent out once this has begun. Reading at home is encouraged to ensure students' love for reading continues.
Thank you for your patience.
