The Year 2 students have had a wonderful couple weeks!
As part of our SMILE program we participated in Backflips on Bullying; a dynamic incursion that linked in well with our Expected Behaviours and immersed us in activities about how to treat others with kindness and how to be inclusive.
In Connected Learning we enjoyed our Brickworks Design Incursion. We worked together in small groups to design a structure with a purpose, that could withstand heavy rain and wind. We listened to each others ideas and used our group budget to purchase necessary materials. It was so much fun!
In Literacy we continued to write our narratives, using interesting adjectives, synonyms and similes to write rich descriptions.
In Numeracy we created surveys and used tally marks to collect data. We then used this data to create picture and bar graphs. We continued to focus on Place Value, using concrete materials and other tools to represent the value of 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers.
