The children in both Year Two classes will be having a Dinosaur Day on Wednesday 28th June (Week 10) from 9-11 a.m. I am asking for volunteers to help on this day please.

Good Evening Wonderful 2H Parents Homework Folders Thank you for the helpful homework folders. Wow what a difference these have made for the efficiency of our classroom routines and your child.  We do hope that you are experiencing the benefits on the home front.  Supplementary Mathematics Material You may have noticed your son or daughter has an additional Mathematics package within their homework folder?

Good Morning to our wonderful parents of 2H What a delight it has been to welcome your children back into term 2 and witness the excitement and growth in their learning over the last 4 weeks.  Introduction of a Reading Log In order to promote reading and independence within our students we will be introducing a Home Reading Log. This will be utilised to enable your child to record in writing what exciting books they have been reading at home each night. This practice will allow us as teachers to identify what book choices your child is making, interests they may hold and generate positive insightful dialogue surrounding literacy.  It would be most appreciated if you could assist your child to complete the book title and the number of pages read each night. We will then have a look at the reading log entry throughout the school day and have a little chat with your child about the exciting books they are reading.  Homework Folder In order to better facilita...
