Term 4, Week 2

 Welcome to Week 2!!

How good was that weather on the weekend!!! It was sensational! Good to hear that the summer sports have started again with bball and cricket. Love that we have girls playing for the local club!!

Merit award:
Assemblies are back!! Well sort of. Even though there was no parents, Mr T was up there rocking the mic and delivering news. Congratulations to Matilda for receiving our merit award on Friday!




SMMC Feeder Day:
On Friday we ventured to SMMC for their Feeder Day. It was an awesome experience! The students made smoothies, decorated pet rocks and learnt some great drama moves. Some parents toured the school while we were there and it was just a good day all round.








Writing:
In our writing session this week we have begun looking at procedure writing, this has provided a great opportunity to integrate our Eucharist preparations into our writing. We are doing some shared writing on a procedure to show how to receive the Eucharist.
Last week we made toast as a part of our procedure writing with students learning that their instructions had to be very specific and clear.



First Eucharist:
On Friday, we will be walking down to the Church for a tour with Fr Francis. He will spend time with the students showing them around the church and giving them a more in depth explanation of their history and purpose. We will also have the chance to complete some reflective activities which invite the students to deepen their knowledge around Eucharist. It will be sports uniform as normal!

Uthando Dolls:
We will be having our first Uthando Doll session this Thursday 1.45-2.45pm. A massive thank you to those parents that have filled their names into the roster. We are very grateful for your help. A HUGE thank you to Lauren Heitman and her beautiful mum for their assistance in pre-sewing the dolls ready to be stuffed and started on Thursday!

Numeracy:
Our maths learning this week will continue looking at mapping and grid positioning...we will be going old school and playing a bit of Battle Ship as practice so if you have the game at home, perhaps a good excuse to bust it out!

Week 9 - Home Learning Information/Support

Image
Welcome to week 9. The first thing that I would like to say is a massive thank you to everyone for all the support that I have received in the last couple of weeks. It has been a very trying time and its important to show care and stay safe. It’s been wonderful to have Team meetings with those at home and to see the great work they have been doing.   This Blog will have information regarding Online Learning. It will explain how I want Teams and OneNote to work as well as how to access the videos I have created. There will also be a Do’s and Don’ts section at the end of this Blog. Teams: After one week of using Teams as an Online Learning tool, I have made some adjustments into how I would like Teams to be used. Firstly, I don’t want to see any work submitted on Teams, I would like all work to be submitted on OneNote. My current vision is for Teams to be used for 3 things. The first is to be a place to access the work that is required. This can be done through t...
