Sew ngapa to Grade 2, 2025! 

We have had a fantastic start to the year with lots of learning and adventures already.  In English we are reading Frog and Toad stories.  We have used adjectives to describe Frog and Toad and made predictions about how their adventures will end.  Last week we discovered Toad’s fishing bag with lots of Band-Aids and tissues.  We had very excited discussions about how it got there, why Toad was bleeding and what happened to him after he left our school.  This week we found Toad’s camp.  It did not look like he had enjoyed his camping trip: his toast was burnt, his tea was spilt, and we don’t think he had a tent!  Poor Toad.

We have been learning about what The Heart Way looks like and how we can show it each and every day.  We learnt what the Fruit of the Spirit are and discovered which Fruit other people think we show.  We also chose one Fruit that we’re going to try and grow.  Please ask your child to show you our Fruit of the Spirit Tree.  We’re also reading Bible Stories which are helping us learn the importance of forgiveness and saying sorry. 

We had a great excursion to the Boardwalk where we read and drew pictures about important people and events in Torres Strait history.  We used this information to make a time-line.

In Maths we have been reminding ourselves of place value, how to tell if a number is odd or even and discovering growing patterns.  We love using concrete materials as well as 100’s charts to help us solve problems.  We also love practising our skills on IXL. 

It has been lovely to have some parents join us in our classroom for Maths and English games before school.  It’s a fun way to spend time with your child and everyone is always welcome.

Blessings,
