Book Week - Year 2's Thirroul Library Visit

As part of our Book Week activities this week Year 2 visited Thirroul Library on Tuesday.  We enjoyed listening to many of the books that have been nominated and won prizes this year along with playing games.

Week 6 Spelling and Grammar Focus - Adverbs

Adverbs tell us more about verbs. Adverbs often end in 'ly'. E.g. I walked carefully.

Spelling Rule: 
- If the word ends with a short y, change y to i before you add ly.
- If the word ends with a long y, just add ly.

Core Spelling Words:
sadly
loudly
slowly
nicely
rudely
quickly
quietly
happily
crossly
kindly

We encourage you to point out adverbs when you are talking with your children! :-)

Week 5 Maths Investigations on Mass

Students were very engaged with hands-on investigation with Mass in Week 5! Whilst students are only required to use informal units of measurements (e.g. blocks, counters, pegs) in Year 2, I did encourage students to go home on Friday and ask you if they could heft (I hope they can tell you what hefting is!) a kilo of flour or sugar. Students could find other objects that they think has the mass of about 1 kilo.
