Extension+Challenges

Extension Challenges

**//The curriculum revolves around teaching and learning the foundations of English and Maths from prep to year 4. After year 4 student's learning develops more complex ideas and skills. The extension programs for year 2s this year in English and Maths have been designed to not interfere with their growth in the development in establishing their foundations in English and Maths but to challenge them in different ways so that the skills that have master can be used as a frame work to build on.//**

//**If you have any quiries please feel free to talk to the year 2 teachers. You will be notified by the classroom teacher if you child is at the standard for the extension program and will have a meeting with the teacher before the student starts.**//
