Year Two - Spotlight on Learning

Dear Families,

On Thursday students were invited to wear bright coloured clothing as a fundraiser to help take Sister Julie's body back to Nigeria. We had so many generous donations and some wonderful outfits worn. The bright colours definitely made us all feel happy and cheerful and we are sure Sister Julie would have been smiling down on us. 

Next week we are learning about...

Religious Education: We will be learning about Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. On Wednesday classes will participate in a Liturgy and receive ashes to commemorate Ash Wednesday and make their Lenten promises. 

Mathematics: We are learning about addition and subtraction. We have been focusing on strategies such as using tens frames, open and closed number lines, and bridging to ten.

English: We will be looking at the book 'The Lost Girl' where students will unpack key vocabulary within the text. Students will undertake activities related to the story and review the subordinating conjunctions: if, when, before and after. Our spelling focus is the Silent Final E Job 3 where e goes at the end to make c and g say their second sound (ce ge).

Auslan: This week we are learning that in Auslan we can use our fingers to represent something else such as two legs, a person moving or two people standing near each other.

Social/Emotional Learning & RRRR: We are focusing on emotional literacy where we recognise and manage our different emotions. 

Reminders:

On Wednesday March 26th we will have our community Mass at 9:30am, all families are invited to attend.

We will be beginning to look at family trees in the next couple of weeks. If you could discuss with your children the members of your family who they would like to include in their family tree (e.g. immediate family - parents, grandparents, siblings).
