Confirmation Retreat
Students from our Year 6 class joined together with students from our afterschool classes for a day of retreat and reflection as they prepared to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation later in Term 3. The retreat was led by Sr Maree from the Mary MacKillop Centre in South Perth and was a day of reflection centred around the Sacrament of Confirmation as students learnt about the life of Mary MacKillop (Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop) along with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Being Health Heroes
In Year 2, our students embarked on a journey to learn about different ways to stay healthy and look after their bodies. They explored the importance of staying hydrated, engaging in physical activity, being sun smart, getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and maintaining good hygiene. Through hands-on experiences and practical lessons, our young learners gained valuable insights into leading a healthy lifestyle. After all, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but learning all these tips makes it even better!
Collage and Construction
Some very exciting things have been happening in the Pre-primary classroom this term. When we arrived to begin the term or teachers have added some new areas to explore. One new learning space is the collage table. At this area we have been using recycles materials to create and make wonderful creations. We are learning to use the new equipment safely. For example, we are learning to wipe our glue brush and to sit down when cutting with scissors.
We have explored the new construction toy mobile this term in the construction area. This new item has helped us to investigate the different parts that vehicles and machines have. We have been creating our own vehicles and machines using the mobile pieces.
