Reading

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.

For the Year 2s who have access to Accelerated Reader leveled reading books, it is expected that your child is to read for at least 30 minutes 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.

Songs

Please click the link below to listen and sing along to some of the new songs we are singing in Class 2:

The Body Song

Busy Body

Hungry Little Caterpillar

Last week, class 2 learned about some of the parts of the body we cannot see, but play a very vital part in keeping us healthy and active. We learned about our heart and how exercise helps keep it strong and working perfectly.

It was a rather noisy classroom as we tested and recorded the effect of physical activity on our hearts.
