Year Two - Spotlight on Learning
Dear Families,
Congratulations on another successful Term! We have had a busy term with lots of fun and engaging learning. We are three quarters through the school year and have been amazed with the progress of the students.
We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break and comes back relaxed and refreshed as Term 4 will be another exciting term.
On Friday students participated in sports dress up and showed the colours that represent their favourite sports teams.
Next term we are learning...
Religious Education: We are beginning our Unit on Mission Month. Students will learn what the purpose of Mission Month is and ways we can help those less fortunate.
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 adding '-s' or '-es' when using plurals. As well as third person plurals eg: The girl plays (third person singular), The boys play (third person plural).
| Spelling | sports, fruits, creeks, markets, cages, dishes, beaches, watches, fire, entire |
| Vocabulary | rumbling, cunning, thrilled, perilous, economy, anxious, exhausted, foiled |
Auslan: This week we are learning that in Auslan we usually sign the object first and then describe the colour of it. To do this, we need to know how to sign different colours.
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.
