Year Two - Spotlight on Learning
Dear Families,
Welcome back to our final term of Year 2! Wow has the year gone quickly. We hope you all had a wonderful break and we can see the students have come back refreshed and ready to learn! We have lots of exciting things to look forward to this term so make sure to check the newsletter weekly for any updates.
Next term we are learning...
Religious Education: We are continuing our work on Mission Month and looking at the different ways we can raise funds for those less fortunate. Watch this space as we will be conducting a Damascus fundraiser for our chosen cause.
Mathematics: We are learning about Fractions. Students will be exposed to fractions of halves, quarters and eighths.
English: We will be looking at identifying and defining subjects and predicates in clauses. Our spelling rule is looking at the different types of plurals.
| Spelling | dodges, confesses, dismisses, munches, knives, echoes, men, blood, flood |
| Vocabulary | demand, shearer, outrage, delighted, zoomed, sheepishly, furious, proper |
Auslan: This week we are learning that in Auslan we sign the object first and then describe its features. In this unit we learn signs for different pets.
Social/Emotional Learning & RRRR: We will be continuing our work looking at Positive Gender Relations. Students will also be revising the skills required to take turns and share with others.

Reminders
Just a reminder that St Thomas is a Sun Smart school and during Term 4 students are required to wear hats. Please ensure students have their name on their hat and remind them of how to take responsibility for their personal belongings. Any student without a hat will be required to sit in the shade during play time and miss out on play.
We're participating in Socktober for Mission Month to make a difference for children in need in Mongolia. We'll be learning about a community in Mongolia this year and kicking goals to support children. Thanks for supporting our team as we look to make a difference!
