Fun, Forces & Friendship
YEAR TWO
Year 2 has been a lot of fun this year! One of the best parts was going swimming over Term 3. We loved getting out of school and learning a new sport with our friends. Another highlight was the Push and Pull incursion as part of our Inquiry unit called “The Invisibles.” We got to do lots of hands-on experiments to learn about forces, which helped us understand how push and pull work in real life. We really enjoyed the activities and being able to explore science in a fun way. This year has been full of new experiences and learning! - Gavin F & Anorah C
TERM 1 The Year 2 students went on an excursion to
Additionally, the students participated in a Push and Pull incursion, exploring how objects move through hands-on activities. They investigated the effects of air, gravity, friction, and mass by experimenting with rocket balloons, magnets, tornado tubes, catapults, and marble roller coasters. The day was filled with curiosity, fun, and lots of launching, rolling, and bouncing. TERM 4 The Year 2 students were excited to begin their final Term of 2025. The Term was filled with positive energy, curiosity, and achievement as they prepared to conclude Year 2 and get ready for Year 3. They especially enjoyed the annual Year 2 Sleepover. During the Sleepover, students took part in a disco where they showed off their dance moves, had supper, and wound down with a movie before bedtime. The next morning, they had breakfast before going home. The event helped promote independence, resilience, and teamwork. The term included many exciting activities and preparations.
Westgarthtown (now Thomastown) as part of their Inquiry Unit, ‘Our City, Our Town’. They toured Ziebell’s Farmhouse and museum, learning about the Ziebell family’s life as early dairy farmers. The students explored the cottage garden and sketched their surroundings, participated in a Heritage Walk, and visited the Church and cemetery. They enjoyed stepping back in time and experiencing history firsthand. TERM 2 The Year 2 students consolidated their understanding of place value for two- and three-digit numbers. They practised modelling numbers in various ways using a range of hands-on materials to deepen their knowledge. “Using the blocks to build numbers made learning place value so much easier and more fun!” — Dayan L TERM 3 The Year 2 students had an engaging visit to the RSPCA, where they fed rabbits and Lenny the sheep. They met the animals in the adoption centre and learned about what animals need to stay healthy, safe, and happy. A highlight was hearing the story of Gus the French Bulldog and getting to pet him. It was a valuable learning experience for all students.
