Year 2 Update Wk 37

This week the children have continued learning about the different continents and oceans, they have been creating their own lapbooks full of lots of information. The children have been enjoying their Information Literacy lessons with Ms Jeves, who has been working with the children on the determining importance comprehension key. They have been using their metacognitive skills by using De Bono’s blue thinking hat during library rotations and white thinking hat in UoI.

Reading                                                                          

Children continue to bring home one book per night to read with an adult. If they do not complete the book in one night, they are able to bring this home to read the following night. Please ensure that you are leaving a comment about your child’s reading in their reading journal. In June your child’s class teacher will continue the final assessment of your child’s reading in Year 2. Therefore the colour of their reading may change before the end of term. We ask that you please be patient as we complete the final assessments as it can be quite time consuming.  

Library Book Bag
Please make sure your child has their book bag and library books on the correct day.
 
Daily Collection
Children are taken by their class teacher to the front steps at 2:55pm daily, to allow them to leave the building in a safe manner before 3:00pm which is when the Y4-6 classes are dismissed. Please ensure you are there for 2:55pm to pick up your child. Thank you.
