Over the past two weeks, our Year 2 students have been busy learning across all areas of the curriculum. In Reading, we have been focusing on making predictions by using clues from the text and illustrations to help us understand what might happen next. In Writing, we enjoyed making pancakes together and then wrote a detailed recount about the experience, carefully ordering events and adding important details. We have now moved on to Narrative Writing, where students are learning about story structure, including characters, setting and problems, and are beginning to create their own imaginative stories. In Maths, we are practising addition and subtraction using a number line as a strategy, learning how to jump forwards and backwards to solve problems and explain our thinking. We are also learning about the Wurundjeri seasons, exploring which months belong to each season and how they differ throughout the year. In Connected Learning, we are focusing on understanding and managing our emotions by developing positive strategies to recognise and respond to our feelings.
