Day at the Museum
During Term 2, Year 3 and Year 4 went to the Western Australian Museum, Boola Bardip, for an excursion. It was a fun and exciting day for all. At the museum we attended an education session on living and non-living things. We learnt a definition for each and what characteristics to look for when classifying. We also got to use some awesome equipment. After that, we spent our time exploring all the wonderful things the museum has to offer!
Sacrament of Reconciliation
A number of our students received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time this week. This is an important Sacrament in the faith life of our students and focuses on the ability to make good moral choices and building strong relationships with others. This Sacrament also reminds us that we all make mistakes and the importance of restoring relationships when we make wrong choices.
Reconciliation Retreat
Students from our Year 3 class, joined together with students throughout our school and afterschool classes who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation later in the term. Students took part in a day of retreat held at our school. During the day, students revisited parables about forgiveness and took part in some creative story telling. Students were led through a most beautiful day of prayer and reflection as they took part in a number of activities centred around the Sacrament of Reconciliation, from making a ‘Reconciliation’ treasure chest to creating some beautiful mosaic crosses.
We are proud of our children and all that they achieve and share with them a great pride in our school.

Lots of Learning
Lots of learning took place during Term 1. It was the first chance we had to complete NAPLAN. We all tried our best and hopefully did well. We also completed many exciting activities that contributed to our growth and development. We had a chance to explore our creativity in Maths by creating symmetrical pictures, and ANZAC art to help us remember all the people who died during war. We were also lucky enough to work with our Kindy buddies.
Welcome to Year 3
Our first term in Year 3 was an extremely busy one and it seemed to fly by! We were lucky enough to participate in a variety of Special Events that show cased what a wonderful community St Jude’s is. We had swimming lessons and celebrated Harmony Day. We also took part in the Walkathon, that raised lots of money for those in need. Most importantly we celebrated Easter and remembered it’s importance to our school.
