Your challenge is to arrange these triangles to make one big triangle, so the numbers that touch add up to 10.

You have a set of the digits from 0 – 9. Can you arrange these digits in the five boxes below to make two-digit numbers as close to the targets as possible? You may use each digit once only.

In Class 2, we love our books! We ensure that we choose and share a variety of books every day in class. Further, every child is encouraged to access a selection of books related to our topic. To encourage this love of reading further at home, you could read and talk about the books they bring back home in their book bag. We change these books every Monday afternoon.
For the Year 2s who have access to Accelerated Reader levelled reading books, it is expected that your child is to read for at least 30minutes to 1 hour per day. Accelerated reader quizzes can be accessed at home. Please click on the link below and then enter in your user name and password.

In Geography, we have been learning all about where we live and contrasting it against the wider world. We have used Atlases to locate where we are and explored the seven continents. We also had a fun session of recreating the word map using playdough and labelling the 7 continents.
We also had a lot of fun singing the 7 continents song. You could sing along to this very “catchy” number by clicking the link below:
