Today, we had a whole school mass to celebrate the wonderful year that we have had together. It was a great way to farewell the year 6 students, many who had started in reception. Fr Santosh was our celebrant for today’s mass. Here are some photos from the mass:
Advent
The Advent wreath is an important symbol of the Advent season. It is usually made of evergreen branches placed in a circle, topped with four candles.
We use the Advent wreath as a way to prayerfully reflect on the Advent seasons. On the first Sunday of Advent, the wreath is belled and one candle is lit. Every Sunday, another candle is lit until all four candles are burning brightly. The colour purple represents waiting, hoping and longing for the arrival of Christ.
The colour pink reminds us that the time of Christ’s arrival is fast approaching and we must prepare.
Students create their own advent wreath.
Have a lovely evening – see you tomorrow

Snapshot of Learning: Today we spoke about letters. We will be writing letters in our book making sessions over the next couple of weeks. We introduced the process of sending letters or parcels to other people. The students drew their house, with their letterbox and someone delivering the mail.
What do you know about letters/mail and post offices?
Clara- You can send letters to people.
Ryder- When you order something it comes in the mail.

Oscar H- The post man will come to your house and does a delivery.
Kunal- It has your name on the post letter.
Rozy- How they know it’s your box when you post it you have to call them and tell them what you want.
Luciano- If they order some books at your house you just get them. You hear the ding dong and then you pick it up.
Avelyn- If the person doesn’t know what your address is you have to tell them on the phone.

Snapshot of learning- Word Study- Today, we spoke about the ‘et’ sound and how words that end in this sound rhyme. The students came up with a list of words that end in the ‘et’ sound. The students have been writing their own sentences using lots of high frequency words that they recognise. We have seen such growth with the students’ writing throughout the year. It has been amazing!
Have a great evening and see you tomorrow 🙂
