Week 9

Welcome to week 9 as we race towards the end of term.

Last week we spent some time working through what we have been ;learning about narratives, showing this in the awesome stories we have written about brussel sprouts!  I can see that may people share my sentiment of these packed vegetables! This week we will begin out stories that will make into books.

Today we read two chapters of 'Birrung', exploring the way that convicts were treated on the boats sailing to Australia and the lack of respect they showed towards the Aboriginal people.  In Maths we will continue to develop our division skills.  

Homework: 

Homework this week is the same as last week.  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.   

Shoebox:

Thank you to all the people that have brought in their Shoebox donations, it is such an important and worthy cause. If you have not brought in your items, could you please do this by the end of the week.  The letter outlining what to bring in here

Sports Carnival:

This Thursday is our whole school Athletics carnival. Students are asked to wear their faction shirt on Wednesday and Thursday. This year the students will be having a lunch break and therefore the canteen will be open for lunch.  Details have been sent home of what will be available to purchase from the canteen.

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
