Visual Literacy
Year 2 has been studying Visual Literacy during Literacy lessons.
We have already investigated the salient point and the use of colour to create a mood.
Today we discussed the text.
We have been studying the book Fox by Margaret Wild.
The text is very interesting in this book. Why has it been placed in certain positions? Why is it in different directions?
These are some of the questions that we posed and investigated.

HIGE
Today we started our unit for this term - Suitable Spaces. The learning intention was to understand natural and man-made materials and to understand what has changed in the playground.
We investigated the work that has been done so far in changing our playground space. To do this we looked from different views. We viewed the playground from the Stage 2 verandah and then the Stage 3 learning space.

As we were observing we were thinking about what was man-made and what is natural.
During our investigations we also thought about what had changed so far during the construction.
Whole Number
Year 2 has been consolidating their understanding of 2 and 3 digit numbers. We have been studying numbers before and after, ten more and ten less. The students enjoyed writing on the mini whiteboards. Go Year 2.
We love thinking about our Learning Intentions and then reviewing them at the end of the lesson. In that way we can know we have completed our journey.
