Another very busy week ahead!!
The class will be putting the finishing touches (illustrations) on their recounts and they will also be creating the cover page for their Fairy Tale. The spelling focus is on the long vowel sound I using "ight" and "I". In Maths this week we will be revising some of the concepts that were covered in the Maths exam last week.
We are very busy making posters about God's creation and we will also be going on a walk through the school grounds as "St Bernardine's Detectives" looking for areas where people have not been stewards of God's creation. We will be discussing at length how we can look after God's earth better than we do and how we can sustain our environment.
Enjoy your week.

Term 1 Week 8
Welcome to another very busy and exciting week in 2 Green.
This week we will be going to our excursion on Thursday to Mayes Cottage in Kingston. This is a small 2 hour excursion and the 4 year 2 classes will be attending the Cottage in 2 sessions. Our class and 2 Maroon will be attending the excursion in the morning and then 2Navy and 2White will attend when our group arrives back at school. As the assessment task for English the children will have to write a recount of the excursion.
On Wednesday and Friday this week all the year 2 children will be sitting their term 1 Maths exam. We have broken the test into 2 parts so it is not so big for one test. Part A will be on Wednesday and part B on Friday.
The Phonic focus this week is the long vowel sound I as in "ie", "igh", "y". The class have almost finished the final copies of their Fairy Tales, and they are excited to share these with you on showcase night , Wednesday 2 April 6pm - 7pm. I hope to see you there.
Please ask your child about the progress of our meal worms..... Personally it is always a relief when we have a successful life cycle occur in these classroom experiences. We had 4 beetles by Friday afternoon and hopefully there will be more when we look at them tomorrow and during the remainder of the week.
Please feel free to contact me at any time. Email or a note with your child is the best way or alternatively leave a message at the school office and I will contact you as soon as I can.
Enjoy your week.

Term 1 Week 6
Welcome to Week 6! Can you believe we are more than half way through the term!! This week is another very busy week. On Wednesday the 5th March we will be celebrating Ash Wednesday. Our class will be taking part in a litrugy in the church at 10am. We will be making and eating pancakes this Tuesday as we remenber Shrove Tuesday. The Year 6 children are selling pancakes to raise money for Caritas. These will be sold at first break.
In Literacy this week the class will commence writing their own Fairy Tale. This is the genre we have been working on this term. Our Phonic focus is on the long vowel sound E - as is "e", "ee", "ea", "e_e", and our Grammar foucus is on creating compound sentences.
In Maths we will be spending more time on our mental maths strategies. The class have been working on their knowledge of doubles and near doubles and timing how quickly we can add them up correctly in our head.
The children will also be looking at 2D shapes and modeling numbers to 100.
This week the class will be introduced to our History Unit on the Logan Area. We will be going on an excursion at the end of the term as a part of this subject. More details will follow soon.
Please remember we are collecting donations for Caritas during this Lenten Season. Our class will be hosting the Parish Mass next Wednesday the 12th March at 9am. We would love to see you there....
Enjoy your week.
Kind regards,
