Week 7

Welcome to week 7.
This week are are getting into our class novel 'Birrung', where we have been examining the language used to paint pictures in the readers head, as well as what we can infer from clues in the text.  Today, we were examining how our thinking has changed from our pre-reading to now.  Through our synthesising activity, it is interesting to see how our initial thoughts about the story involved a boy with his bird as a friend, to today learning that Birrung is an aboriginal girl.  We will be examining the way people were treated during the time of the first fleet as we read on.

Homework this week is a little different.  I have assigned tasks in mathletics in place of the times table sheet.  The tasks will reinforce concepts that we are studying in maths lessons.  I have also assigned a book in reading eggs for the students to read.   I have also sent home passwords for study ladder as I have assigned tasks for those students that are looking for a challenge.

For science, I have posted a website for the students to examine and explore forces. You can access this website here

Week 8 Term 2

Good afternoon parents, I can not begin to explain how proud I was of all the students yesterday at the First Eucharist mass. They acted with great reverence and respect, participating so well in every part of the mass.  A tear did well in my eye when I saw the students reciting the prayers and completing the actions at the appropriate times. We thank you for the support and guidance you have given throughout the preparation of the sacrament. All of the students have taken home today their poster, banner, prayer card and cross as little mementos for you to keep and reflect on in time to come. Congratulations to Lucas, Taylah and Gabriel on receiving a Merit award at Friday's assembly, they are working hard to achieve their best .

Mother's Day Assembly

Good afternoon This Friday is our prayer assembly and it is also Mother's day this weekend.  So I have decided to combine the two events and we will have a Mother's Day Themed Prayer Assembly. All students have readings, which we have been practicing for a few days now.  They also took photos of their readings on their Ipads today so they can access them to practice.  Please support your child by practicing their lines with them. It promises to be an exciting day that will get us thinking about our mothers.  It would be wonderful if you were able to join us, so we will hopefully see you Friday. Mr McSevich
