Welcome to Week 2!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our mothers. We hope you enjoy a relaxing day!
Next Monday, 12th May, our school community will be celebrating Mother’s Day with a liturgy to be held in House teams. Our Year 6 House and Mission Leaders will host each liturgy, which begins at 9am. The liturgy locations include:
- St Pope John-Paul II House (Red) – Hall
- St Vincent De Paul House (Cream) – Curiosity
- St Mary MacKillop House (Black) – Mass Centre
From 8:00am until 9:00am on the Monday morning, a coffee cart will be supplying complimentary coffee, tea and other hot drinks for staff and families. We would love to see as many mothers, grandmothers, big sisters, aunts and cousins as possible.
In Literacy, we looked at reading and spelling words with ‘th’ and ‘oo’ as in ‘moon’. The students practised finding the sounds in words, reading and writing words that make that sound. In Bookmaking, we continued our learning around information texts, specifically around the use of facts versus opinions. We watched a video on ‘whales’, discussed the facts that we learnt about and the students needed to think about three facts that they could include on their information report.
Congratulations to Jason for reading 50 nights!
In Numeracy, the children continued their learning on skip counting by 2s. They practiced their counting skills in various ways and also worked on grouping collections by 2s to count more efficiently.
Next week we will start a new topic in Mathematics!
In Religion, we explored the Annunciation of Mary. The children listened to a story and song about the special moment when the Angel announced to Mary that she would be expecting Baby Jesus. They were then invited to draw their interpretation of the story.
In Technology, the children used their designs from last week to create their Emoji masks. We discussed the importance of using our design plans to guide us through the creation process, while also recognising that making changes or additions is a valuable part of being a great designer. Take a look at how they turned out!
