Learning with Enthusiasm
YEAR TWO
SEMESTER ONE Westgarthtown: The Year 2’s visited Westgarthtown in Term 1. Westgarthtown is a really old village in the outskirts of Melbourne where German and Wendish settlers started farming in 1850.
YEAR TWO SRC REFLECTION
Numeracy: In Term 2 we learnt how to use ‘Friend of 10’ and ‘Friends of 20’ to solve simple addition problems using concrete materials. We also invited our parents/carers in to share what we have been learning in Math.
Year 2 has been really exciting! Visiting Westgarthtown was a fun experience. We explored old houses, learned about the museum, and walked through the heritage garden. It was like stepping back in time and seeing how people lived long ago. The push and pull incursion was also awesome; we got to discover how forces work through fun activities and experiments. Learning about these concepts hands - on made science so much more interesting. Overall, Year 2 has been full of amazing learning adventures, and we’re excited for more fun experiences in Year 2 . - Rocco and Stella
Even though it is part of Thomastown and Lalor now, there are still old bluestone buildings there which gave students a glimpse into the past. At school students continued to explore how our local area, and
items we use daily, looked in the past.
