In Year Two, students have been:
- Practising reading smoothly and confidently with a partner
- Learning smart and efficient ways to count.
- Recognising number and picture patterns that are repeated and growing.
- Writing recounts, sharing and organising their ideas about things that have happened.
- Learning how to collect information and record it using tally marks.
- Showing resilience and persistence when learning feels challenging.
- Practising self management skills, such as staying calm and trying different strategies when something is tricky.
- Developing a strong growth mindset, helping students understand that mistakes are part of learning.
- Learning how to choose “good fit” books that match their reading level and interests.
Grade Two students have been busy building their skills across all learning areas. They are practising reading with a partner to improve fluency and confidence, while in Maths they are learning efficient ways to count and how to record information using tally marks, as well recognising patterns in numbers and pictures. In writing, students are working on recounts, helping them clearly share events and experiences. We are also focusing on building resilience and persistence, encouraging students to keep trying when tasks feel challenging. By practising self management strategies and developing a growth mindset, students are learning that effort and mistakes are important parts of learning. During library time, they are becoming more independent by choosing “good fit” books that suit their reading level and interests.
