Term 4 Week 3

This week Year 2 continued to investigate shelters. We focused on how different shelters suit different climates and how they are built to suit their environments. 

Comment on what your house, or another shelter you use, is made from and how it's designed to suit your environment and needs. 

Keep up the great work Year 2! 

Mathematics strategies

In Year 2 we have been talking about the importance of checking the accuracy of our answers and proving our findings when working to solve problems mathematically.

We have been exploring various strategies. Here are some  examples of the jump strategy on an empty number line for addition and subtraction and the split strategy to assist you when problem solving at home.

Remember to use these in your homework this week and keep up the great work Year 2!

Whisper phones

This term year 2 have been using whisper phones when reading independently. (Thank you Trevor and Mr Shelton for assisting is in making them) 

Whisper phones allow us to read aloud to ourselves without disturbing anyone else. When we read with whisper phones we get to hear what we are doing really well when we read as well as what we need to improve. 

Share with us what you like about using the whisper phones when reading. 

 

Term 4

Welcome to the final term in Year 2! 

Can you believe that it is already here? We certainly cannot. 

Already, we have done some amazing work. We have worked on narrative writing, full of descriptive language, looked at the value of Australian money and begun to look at different types of shelters.
