What are are the Sacraments of Anointing of the Sick and Reconciliation?

Penance is also known as confession, so the sacrament of Penence refers to the first (and the subsequent) occasion on which a child makes their first Confession - which pretty much entails set prayers and cleansing the soul by confessing all of their sins. Catholics are required to do this at least once a year, although local practises usually dictate that it is performed on a much more regular basis. Penance must be performed before Communion can be received so as a sacrament it comes after baptism and before Communion. The annointing or sacrament of the sick is the last sacrament administered to someone who is dying, it is a final absolution to cleanse the soul before death.
