Year Two - Spotlight on Learning
Dear Families,
We have been seeing students show many Acts of Kindness this week and hearing about all of the Acts of Kindness they have been doing at home. There have been lots of tokens earned and the hampers are going to be very full! If you have not returned your signed forms for tokens earned at home, please do so on Monday. We look forward to seeing many of you at the Carols on Tuesday! Don't forget to come to school in Christmas outfits or colours.
Next week we are learning...
Religious Education: We will be learning about Advent and working on our Taking Action Project. Any families who wish to make additional donations of non-perishable items for our hampers may donate them to the community too. We will also be practicing our Christmas Carol ready for the Carols Event on Tuesday 3rd December. Here is the song should your children wish to practice at home:
Mathematics: We are learning about location. We will be locating positions in two-dimensional representations of a familiar space and move positions by following directions and pathways.
English: We will be looking at irregular past and present tense verbs in our reading and writing. Our spelling focus is reading and spelling words with 'Rabbit Pattern' where a short vowel needs protection from a double letter.
| Spelling | rabbit, pattern, lesson, dollar, ribbon, narrow, parrot, cherry, error, sorry |
| Vocabulary | stack, neither, indigestible, haul, desperate, shearer, delighted, sheepishly |
Auslan: We will be revising the signs from Unit 8 in preparation for our end of cycle assessment in Week 10.
Social/Emotional Learning & RRRR: We are focusing on preparations for our transition to Year 3. What that might look like and any wonderings we have.

Reminders
With the weather being unpredictable at the moment it is a great time to remember to ensure all students clothing is labelled. We are gathering quite a collection of jumpers and hats that students have taken off and not placed correctly into their bags.
We are also seeing lots of students coming to school without their drink bottles. This causes a disruption to the class when students need to leave the learning space to get a drink at the taps outside. We allow student in Year 2 to keep their drink bottle on their table and use as needed within the classroom.
