Welcome to Class 2!
Learning Question: What is it like in China?
Welcome to Year 2.
In the classroom this year there will be:
Mrs Hume (Class teacher)
Mrs Hardisty, Miss Lyttle and Ms Halliday (Teaching Assistants).
We are looking forward to a year of fabulous learning!
The children will bring their reading books home every day. We would like them to read at least 3 times a week. Please remember to sign their record book when they read with you at home.
Library day is Wednesday. Please return library books each Wednesday.
The children will bring home spellings every Friday. Please help them to practice these and return the books each Monday so we can have a quick spelling test.
We continue to use Tapestry to share our learning and give and receive messages and reminders. Please keep your eye on it for any updates.
Our PE days are Monday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor).
Thank you.
Mrs Hume

A huge thank you to our Class 2 parents and families for your sponsors and support with this.

Then we compared them to the biggest dinosaur alive today, a blue whale.
A blue whale is bigger than most dinosaurs, it would fill our playdeck!
