Spotlight on Learning

Next week, Week 10 of Term 2, we will be learning and engaging in the following: 

Religious Education Focus

We are learning about special celebrations that welcome people into a community, such as baptism and Welcome to Country. 

English Focus

We will continue learning Stage 4 sounds, with our focus being on 'k' and 'x'. We will be building words using these sounds, such as jut, up, jet and jam. We will continue to read words with Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 sounds. Please check the reading pouch for the sound sheet every week.

Mathematics Focus

We will continue to strengthen our knowledge of 2D shapes by focusing on sorting shapes based on their features and creating our own shapes using different materials. Students will explore how shapes can be similar or different and practise making shapes through drawing, tracing, and using hands-on tools.

Social and Emotional Learning

We are learning how to manage stress. This week, we will focus on identifying what stress feels like in our bodies and exploring helpful strategies to feel calm and in control. As part of our learning, we will also be making our own stress balls to use when we need to self-regulate.

Auslan Focus

This week, we will be revising the Auslan signs we have previously learned. Our focus will be on understanding the rules of Auslan, including how facial expressions help to add meaning to what we are signing. Students will have the opportunity to practice their signs and explore how expression plays an important role in communicating clearly and effectively in Auslan.
