A Visit From a Stay at Home Mum

Mia's mum came to speak to our class yesterday. She made a beautiful book about all the things that she does and she read it to us. It had lots of great photos in it. Mia's mum also made everyone a very special treat to eat!
What is one thing you can remember that Mia's mum does?

Read to Self Record

Today 2F have officially made it to 20 minutes of focused reading in our Read to Self session!! I am so proud of every single student! I had hoped that we would get to 20 minutes by the end of the year and I can't believe we made it at the end of Term 1! 21 minutes and 5 seconds. Well done everyone!

2F Class Item

Our item is in one week!! 2F are getting so excited and hope that parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles, family and friends will be able to come and see our performance.

Where? Auditorium

Premiers Reading Challenge

In 2F we are so excited that EVERYONE is taking part in the Premiers Reading Challenge this year! If you have not received a username and password yet, don't worry, it's coming. In the meantime, you can still read the books and just record them somewhere safe.
Today in class we read "Willy the Dreamer" by Anthony Browne. You can add this to your list!

Happy reading everyone!

Easter Hat Parade

The annual Easter Hat Parade is fast approaching!  It will be held on Thursday 5th April - the last day of Term 1.
We will be making our hats in class time during the last week of school.
Children are required to bring in a hat that they are able to decorate and their own craft items to do so. Some ideas for craft materials that you can send in may include coloured paper, stickers, eggs, feathers, ribbon etc.

If you are in 2F, please bring all the items you will be using to make your hat in a plastic bag marked with your name. All materials need to be in by Friday the 30th March. We are going to have so much fun 

A Visit From a Policeman!

We had a very important and exciting visitor last Thursday! Mr Kremer is a policeman and he turned up in his uniform, much to the delight of Year 2.
What are some of the things Mr Kremer uses for his job? What does he use the most? What was your favourite part of his visit?

Junior School Churchtime

Yesterday we had our first Junior School Churchtime. Our Junior School memory verse for the week was introduced yesterday by Molly and Polly.
Some children in 2F can already remember parts of this verse! The memory verse is:


Isaiah 41:10
"Do not fear, for I am with you; 
   do not be dismayed, for I am your God. 
I will strengthen you and help you; 
   I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."


Do your best to try and learn this before your STACKS group next week 2F :)
