Year 2 News - Mrs Fenton & Mrs Lockyer

Welcome to Term 4! Mrs Fenton will be teaching Year 2 on Monday and Tuesday and Mrs Lockyer will continue to teach Wednesday to Friday. We look forward to sharing in many interesting and engaging activities with students as they consolidate and enrich their knowledge, understanding and skills.

In English, students will participate in a whole-class Novel Study. We will be reading George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl; students will be learning to apply known comprehension strategies, expand their vocabulary, and to create detailed character descriptions.

Last term in Science, students worked with Mrs Fenton and Mrs Mac to understand the importance of water as a natural resource. Students created detailed representations of their understanding of the water journey. During Term 4, students will work with Mrs Fenton to identify other examples of Earth’s natural resources, specifically identifying their use in the school environment. Mrs Lockyer will guide students in developing their knowledge of our local history in Latrobe with a focus on historical events, including the great floods.

In Mathematics, students will continue to develop their problem-solving skills across the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). In our Statistics & Probability unit, Year 2s will learn to use the language of chance to discuss everyday events and they will begin to collect and represent data. 

We thank our Year 2 families for their continued support of the homework and home-reading programs throughout this busy final term of the year!
