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.
