The best part of me!

Welcome to Year 2

Wonderful writing

In the beginning ....                           and now!                                        

At writing time we are learning to experiment with new types of punctuation, such as commas and speech marks.

“Actually I am a great story writer now. I can do long  stories with lots of interesting words.”

Wild animal tee shirts

I am learning to sketch a wild animal and transfer my drawing to a tee shirt.  I used special fabric markers to colour in my design.

Number line subtraction

I am learning to use a number line to help solve subtraction problems to 20.

"I can count backwards to work out subtraction problems.  I put the biggest number first.
Sometimes I can do it in my head" said Hadi

Reading out loud

We are learning to read out loud familiar poems. We are trying to read with fluency and expression. As we get more confident, we can pay attention to the author's punctuation to help our reading sound more interesting.

"I can sound out words I don't know when I read out loud. I can read loudly so everyone can hear" said Hadi.

Reading

I am learning to use all my strategies independently. I am able to read the book independently and I can find the main ideas in the text.

"I can read faster because I read carefully" said Hadi
