Today we celebrated Catholic Identity Day. We looked at The Creation Story and compared it with the Aboriginal Creation Story. We then reflected and represented our thoughts  in painting and drawing.

It’s time to share all the amazing Light Houses.

After reading  The Light Keepers Lunch we decided to have a go at constructing our own lighthouse.

Firstly we researched different types of Lighthouses and chose 4 we would consider to make.

Then we looked for workshops that showed us how we could make different light houses.

Next we designed and recorded the materials we would need in our Art books.

Today we started the construction process

We were so busy and hope to complete them on Monday

Watch this space for our completed Light houses.

We celebrated our favourite learning from Term one  at our Assembly.

It was a beautiful celebration of our diverse cultures through dance and sharing our family language by speaking it.

Also some learning using Flat Stanley, The feels which helps us with our feelings and the book “Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus” by Mo Williams which helped us with Persuasive Writing.

We have some highlights to share with you from today.

Thank you to the parents who were able to come in yesterday to watch it live.

Our assembly was filmed so as soon as it is ready we will be emailing it to all families.

Today in numeracy the students engaged in using base 10 blocks to show different numbers. They recorded their findings using their laptops. The students used powerpoint and photo booth to help them.

It was exciting to see the students  use a variety  of ways to show and record the  numbers.

Both classes have been looking for patterns in numbers during some of their Numeracy activities.

One game that students really enjoyed was, “Who’s got the poison.”

In this game students had to identify and use different winning strategies to avoid being left with the poison.

As well as being a lot of fun, this game developed their adding ability and their understanding of number patterns.
