Year Two - Spotlight on Learning
Damascus Community
Dear Families,
Our students had a fabulous time celebrating Mother's Day early with their mothers and special people. We spent time making a craft activity and enthusiastically singing the song, 'We love our Mummy'.
The students did a great job using their Auslan signs during the song. We wish all mothers a wonderful Mother's Day!
The whole Damascus community has continued to be focused on further developing their English by reviewing the decoding and spelling of silent final e words. We have also been learning about how to decode and spell plurals.
Religious Education: whilst Assumption Day isn't until the 15th August students will be looking at Mary's death and how it highlights the special connection to God and Jesus, and can spark wonder about heaven and God's plan for all people.
Mathematics: we will be focusing on doubles, near doubles and fact families to assist us with our addition and subtraction understanding.
English: students will identify similarities and differences between the picture books, 'Words That Taste Like Home' and 'Amma's Sari'. We will be identifying the number of syllables in words and reviewing the 'fszl' rule.
Auslan: we will be learning signs to answer the question, "What do I have today?". Here is a sample of these signs:
Social/Emotional Learning & RRRR: students will be learning about respect and what it looks and sounds like in different situations. They will also be identifying ways people can show respect to others.
