Term 1 Week 2 2018

Welcome to Year 2! We have had a great first week settling into our new learning space and getting to know each other!

Well done all the students in Year 2 as you manage yourselves in your new space. We have been so impressed with the way you have listened to new information and followed instructions. It is going to be a great year! 

Here is a photo of Mrs Rodda and Mrs Skelton modelling how to come to school in the morning. 

Tuuhura Time

Our new focus this year is our morning routine of Tuuhura time. This is a time to be creative, to play and to relate to others. Already we have seen some wonderful moments involving sharing, working things out and caring in the morning. 

Throughout the year we will be adding resources to our Tuuhura Room (entrance way). If parents have any materials they would like to donate to us then we would gladly accept them. We are looking for creative things to design, make, build or role play with. See one of the Year 2 teachers if you have anything you think might be used. 

Literacy = Daily 5 

Year 2 have had a taste of the Daily 5 this week. We have been training how to 'Read To Self'. This is just the beginning of our journey towards self management and student agency or choosing our own learning and getting it done. See below for pictures of us choosing where to read, what to read and managing our own materials. 

Assembly 

This week will be a chance for our first Timatanga Assembly for 2018. The big change is that we will be running our assembly in the school hall this year to give us more room to celebrate our learning. We have also changed the time for assembly. This year we will on a Friday at 12pm. L3 will be hosting. Children that are presenting will receive a script to practice during the week. Throughout the year we will give every child a turn to present or take part in assembly. So...

L3 Assembly this week

Date: Friday 9th February

Time: 12pm

Place: School Hall 

El Gregoe - Performance on Monday 

To kick off our Inquiry about being brave this term we have the chance to watch this fantastic show in school on Monday. If you have not returned the permission form to your Home Base Teacher please bring this on Monday. 

All About Me Bag

Remember to bring your All About Me Bag on Monday. In your bag should be 4 items that help you tell us all about YOU. Remember you can take a picture or draw an item if it is too big. Also don't forget to decorate your bag if want to!
