Welcome to Week 10! We cannot believe that it is the last week of Term 3.
Congratulations to Oliver for reading 75 and 100 nights!
In Literacy we have been reviewing split digraphs and how they work to change the sound of a vowel, such as turning cap into cape or hop into hope. We practised reading and writing these words in sentences to build our confidence. We also focused on editing and improving our writing by checking sentence starters, adding the word because to explain our ideas, and using stronger adjectives and emotive words. Finally, we published our work by making neat copies and shared our writing with the class through oral presentations, listening respectfully and giving positive feedback to others.
This week in Maths, we are exploring duration. We ordered units of time including hours, days, weeks, months, and years. We also continued learning about the order of the days of the week. In addition, we looked at different daily activities that take seconds, minutes, or hours, and then ordered these activities from the shortest to the longest in duration.
In Religion, we read the book Rudie Nudie and discussed the similarities and differences between boys’ and girls’ body parts in a respectful and age-appropriate way. As a class, we created a Venn diagram to visually represent these comparisons. Students then cut out body part names and glued them onto diagrams of a boy and a girl baby, drawing lines to connect the words to the correct parts of the body. Through these activities, students were encouraged to appreciate that all bodies are special and that each person is uniquely made in the image of God.

Socktober 2025
Socktober is an annual mission program run by Catholic Mission in Australia, which uses soccer to educate and engage students in fundraising for global mission programs that support children in need. Holy Family participated this year by making ‘sockballs’ and partaking in a penalty shoot out on the oval.
