Good afternoon families,

This is just a friendly reminder that 1SD and 1KJ will be participating and performing in the Holy Family Christmas Concert this Friday 3^rd December commencing from 5:30pm. The event will be held on the school oval. Families are encouraged to bring a picnic rug or chair. From 5:00pm there will be a Gala Auction and the canteen will open for drinks and sausage sizzle to purchase.

Please note:

• All students will need to be accompanied and supervised by their parents, e.g., not turning up alone.
• All students need to MEET THEIR TEACHER OUTSIDE CURIOSITY (near the Design Lab door) two items before their own. Reminders will be made throughout the evening. After they have performed, they can continue to watch the rest of the concert with their family, or go home.
• Students may wear neat CASUAL clothes for the concert, preferably in Christmas colours (red, green, white, yellow) or accessorised with a Santa hat, tinsel, etc. Students in 1SD and 1KJ have made reindeer headbands which they will wear during their performance.

Participation by all students is encouraged, although not compulsory. We do ask that if your child wishes to attend, then they must also perform. Please confirm if your child will be participating. If you and your child are unable to attend, please also let Miss Dowsett or Miss Jessop know as soon as possible.

Please refer to the email sent by Mr White for further information regarding bookings (tickets), COVID-safe requirements and the Gala Auction.

We look forward to performing for you!

Good morning everyone!

Please find the children’s Sport Day teams below:

Today in math we explored the language of location and investigated how to follow directions. As a class, we focused on the terms:

Above

Below

Behind

In front of…

To the right of…

To the left of…

Following our language investigation, we were challenged to create a picture by following Miss Dowsett’s instructions. Everyone did a fantastic job at listening and following the directions given. Please see below some examples of our work:

Each child in our class has drawn an image and been included in the Junior Primary tea towel to celebrate 40 years of Holy Family Catholic School!

Take a look below at the preview..

Don’t forget to get your order in via the QKR app THIS WEEK to make sure that you are able to secure yourself a tea towel.

Writer’s Workshop

Today 1KJ continued to look at information books in Writer’s Workshop, BUT we got to spend our lesson in the MUDLA using it to inspire us for our new books. Below see photographs of our learning today.

Congratulations to Vedika and Agamjot for reading for 75 nights, Paris for reading for 100 nights and Oliver for reading for 200 nights! Well done, amazing effort to all!

In Writer’s Workshop this morning we began looking at Information Texts!

The children were asked to explore a range of information texts and investigate the special features in them. We then had a discussion to unpack our findings, which included:

‘They are information books. They tell us information about things’ – Will

‘There’s an index, a glossary and contents page’ – Ayan

‘There’s facts’ – Chase

‘There’s labels’ – Raavi

‘There’s lots of pictures’ – Eleazar
