On Red Day we enjoyed talking about the importance of child safety and thinking about 5 people we feel safe talking to. Lots of us included our friends, teachers, siblings and adults at home.
Our Funky Friday was also such a blast!! So many of us sported crazy hair and we had fun wearing our casual clothes. Thank you to Mrs Masseni for organising a fantastic and memorable day for us after such a hard slog of remote learning. We are so lucky to be able to grow and learn at St Mary’s!
Year 3/4 - We all loved Community Week this week, particularly the great Sports Day activities Mr. Lappin organised for us.
We have collected some great information about our chosen animal and we are now beginning to create the ideal environment for them. We are also planning an information report about our chosen animal during Writing.
We are continuing to work on confidence and self esteem in Circle Time and Forgiveness and Reconciliation in Religion.
Year 5/6 -
We loved our Community Week and thanks to our school leaders, teachers and students for organising and being involved in this fun week. The Year 5/6s enjoyed their sports’ activities on Wednesday. They also helped out with the junior events. Congratulations to all the House team leaders. All teams were exemplary in their conduct and involvement on the day. WELL DONE ‘YELLOW’ team on the win!
The Year 6’s are continuing to work on their Yearbooks. The Year 5s are now editing scripts for another Readers’ Theatre production. They will revise and plan their new plays for a ‘new’ audience, the Year 6s!
In Reading, (BTN) the students watched several video clips about current event stories. They demonstrated their comprehension through answering questions about what they saw and heard. The stories included; History of the U.N., Mt Resilience AR App, Covid Normal, Spotting Deep Fake Videos & Fiver for a Farmer.
This coming Wednesday, the 11th day of the 11th month we will remember them. Our 3/4 students will lead the school in a special service for Remembrance Day.
In the years since that Armistice, Australia has been called upon to serve in many wars, conflicts, peacekeeping missions and humanitarian operations. Over this time more than two million men and women have served in the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Airforce, tragically more than 102,000 of these brave Australians never made it home.
At this service, we will play The Last Post symbolising the duty of these dead is over and they can now Rest In Peace. During the minute’s silence, we will be asked to pause and reflect on the service and sacrifice of all those who have and continue to serve in defence of our great nation and of freedom and democracy.
They grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, now the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.
Yours in Faith
Matthew Taylor
Religious Education Leader
