Welcome to Year 2 Mrs Fenton (Mon-Wed) & Mrs Lockyer (Thurs-Fri)

Our classroom was abuzz on the first day with smiling reunions, the sharing of holiday stories, and a lovely sense of togetherness. Students brainstormed with Mrs Lockyer about ways to create a happy, safe, and productive learning environment. Together, they developed a team agreement. As always, students will live out our WEST values at St. Patrick’s Catholic School - our classroom motto is “work hard, be kind”.

Students will review skills attained in Year 1 and engage in new concepts to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding. In Literacy, students will continue to build their phonics skills and phonological awareness through the InitiaLit program. During Term 1, our writing focus is imaginative writing. In Mathematics, students will review and consolidate their knowledge of number bonds and build on their understanding of place value. In Science, we will begin by exploring our living world and how it changes. We are looking forward to working in the school garden with Mr Tim, and we will be investigating how technology is used in the kitchen.

We welcome the care and expertise of Mrs. Michelle Lamprey in the role of Teacher Assistant. We are excited to share in your child’s academic, social, and emotional growth throughout 2022!
