Tabloid Sports Update

Hi Everyone,

Wow it is officially the first day of Summer with three weeks left of term to wind down, move the neighbourhoods to the new spaces and learn as much as possible before saying goodbye and becoming year Threes. We'll of course be having a lot of fun in these last few weeks to celebrate the amazing achievements and developments of every child.

I'd just like to share a few photos from Tabloid Sports. The four session are now complete and the Year Twos really enjoyed the opportunity to engage with the children in the year one and prep neighbourhoods. The program was a huge success thanks to Rita for coordinating the Transition program and the rest of the Transition team for their efforts to organise the sport and the program for the new preppies. Well done.

Guest speaker Jo Boyce talks to us about book reviewing

Jo Boyce, an ex-student (and Luisa's daughter) joined us today to talk about her job as a book reviewer at Readings and her huge passion for reading. The children were enthralled and we got some great tips on writing a descriptive book review. We shared our favourite authors which was very exciting.

Jo read us part of Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo and we reviewed it together.

Thank you Jo for visiting us, we wish you all the best in your journey to become a teacher!

Year Two walking excursion to Melbourne University Wednesday 13th November

Hi everyone,

Next Wednesday 13th November, the whole year two neighbourhood will be walking to Melbourne University at 9.30am to attend a day planned by Alison Kealy and Matt Duckham in the Engineering Department. They will be setting up a variety of experiences for the children related to mapping and location as a culmination of the three workshops they have run at school.

We will be walking back to school at 2.30pm ready for pick-up.

Lunch will be provided by the university and we will be providing Alison with a list of any food allergies that we have on record for the children in the neighbourhood.

Please assist your child by packing a water bottle and a hat, they will be leaving most of their bags at school.

If you have any questions, please ask one of the Neighbourhood teachers.

Regards,
The Year Two team.
