Health
Today the children listened to the story The Gingerbread Man and discuss examples of tricks or secrets that are shown in the story. Then the children used small puppets to retell the story in small groups.
Maths
As part of our measurement focus this term, today the children explored the word time and what takes a short time as opposed to a long time. When talking about time some children also said they have clocks in their homes that helps them to tell the time. The children drew a clock in their books.
More clocks on Tuesday…
This week the children have been practising their team’s sports day chants. The aim has been to develop teamwork, a sense of team spirit and show their commitment to being part of a team. Here are some snapshots from over the course of the week.
Iteka: Indigenous artist in residence
This week, Iteka brought in some Aboriginal artefacts that have been passed down from generations in her family. The students enjoyed learning and being able to hold, touch and feel the different tools and materials.
Religion
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
Jesus got into a boat and crossed the Sea of Galilee. When he heard that John the Baptizer had been beheaded by King Herod, he went to a deserted place, not far from the city of Bethsaida. Jesus brought his disciples with him, saying, “Come with me, away from where people live, so we can rest.”
However, so many people were going to see Jesus that he and the disciples hardly had a chance to eat. After they got into the boat, a large crowd saw them leave and followed them on foot along the edge of the sea. Many other people in the towns along the way joined them. they brought those who were sick in hopes that Jesus would heal them. When the boats landed at the shore, the huge crowd was already there. Jesus welcomed them. He was filled with love for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. he spoke to them about the kingdom of God. He healed everyone who needed to be healed.
It was getting to be late in the day. The twelve apostles said to Jesus, “Send the people away so that they can go into the villages and buy some food for themselves. There is no food here.”
Jesus said, “You give them something to eat.” He asked Philip, who was from Bethsaida, “Where should we buy food for all these people?” Jesus knew what he would do. He asked Philip this question to test him.
Philip answered, “Eight months’ wages would not be enough to give each man even a bite.”
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said, “Here is a boy who has five small barley loaves and two small fish, but what is that among so many people?”
Jesus told them to have the people sit down on the green grass in groups of fifty and one hundred. there was plenty of grass in that area. So the people sat down. There were about five thousand men there, not counting women and children. Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. Looking up to heaven, he blessed it, thanking God for it. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples. They gave it to all the people. Everyone had as much to eat as he wanted.
