Grade 2

Kyabram Fauna Park

We had a great day at the Kyabram Fauna Park. Thanks to Mrs Fitzpatrick for organising this excursion for us. We learned about different life cycles of insects and lizards that they have at the park. We enjoyed meeting a lot of native animals, in particular the young fruit bat being cuddled by its mother. Some of us had interesting experiences in the cockatoo enclosure where we could walk amongst these cheeky birds.

Things to remember
Please ensure students continue to  bring drink bottles to school so they can remain hydrated during the day. As the mornings are now much cooler, please make sure that your children are wearing a jumper or jacket at the start of the day. To make it easier to find owners of jumpers these need to be clearly named as well. Reader bags must come to school everyday and reading diaries need to be signed by a parent / guardian to signify home reading!


Homework expectations -
Grade 2 students are expected to complete reading at home 5 nights per week and must have their yellow reading journals signed by parents.
Spelling - Spelling lists have gone home and are to be kept in student's Reader Bags. A list of activities that can be completed at home in order to practise list words in preparation for the weekly test has been included. Children may also access the Sound Waves webpage and practise their spelling by playing the interactive games containing their list words.  Whilst spelling homework is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to support you child's confidence during tests and to develop their awareness of the various graphemes (letter/s) that can be used to represent phonemes (sounds) in words.


Soundwaves - Spelling Program
Grade 2's have begun the exciting new spelling program called Sound Waves.
Each week the students will be introduced to a new phoneme (sound) and the grapheme/s (letters) that can make those sounds. Students will be completing interactive activities at school each week.
