Class News Year 2 This term Year 2 have been very busy. In writing we have focused on persuasive writing. We have looked at different types of advertising and the language used to persuade the reader. We are now starting to look at the structure and grammatical features of a persuasive text. In English we are reading “Tom Tom” by Rosemary Sullivan. During these sessions we have explored how the author uses adjectives to make the sentences more interesting. Year 2 have identified nouns, proper nouns and pronouns used in the story. We have identified different uses for a comma and written sentences using a comma. We are currently working on how to write different types of sentences. In mathematics Year 2 are focusing on the investigation “Gone Fishing”. During this time students will work on whole numbers, numbers beyond 100, addition facts, subtraction facts, mental strategies for addition and subtraction, division, measurement, months and seasons.
