Last week in Year Three, we went on an excursion to the local Wanneroo Museum.  We learnt all about the history of our local community.  Did you know that Wanneroo was all farms when it first began?   We were lucky to be able to touch and explore olden day items.  We are so lucky to have all the modern technologies that we have today!  A special thankyou to the parents that were also able to help us explore our history on the day.  

Year 2’s are learning about ways in which people can show love towards others. We discussed with students how God loves each of us personally and how he does this through the people he has placed in our lives. We wrote sentences describing what we thought love is.

A Prayer for My Mummy

Dear God,

Thank you for my mummy.
She looks after me, plays with me,
Listens to me, and makes me laugh.
She works very hard and sometimes she gets tired. 

Please give her good sleep.
Help her at work.
Give her happy times,
And lots of hugs and kisses.

Amen.

The Year Sixes have been learning about the importance of the 7 gifts & 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit and the Sacrament of Confirmation which many of us will be making later this month. We would like to thank Mr Marando, our parents, all of our teachers and Fr John for leading us in the Sacramental Meeting last night.

We have learnt that the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit are - Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Piety, Fear of the Lord, Knowledge, Wisdom.

The 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit are - Love,  Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self Control.

We are excited about our Confirmation Retreat on Friday the 19th of May to learn more about Confirmation and what we can  do as a Christian. Please keep us in your prayers over this next month.

Welcome to Term 2. Year 5 has been extremely busy preparing for NAPLAN testing.  We have been practising very hard, using previous years’ tests in reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy.  Next week we vet our skills and knowledge against children from all over Australia. We’re quite sure that we will do well.

This term, we welcome Miss Fucile to 5G.  She is an intern teacher from Curtin University, doing her final prac.  She will be with us for the whole term.

Wednesday morning, we participated in an incursion run by the Electoral Education Commission.  It was very interesting and gave us a better understanding of the unit of work that we have been learning about.

In Health and Design and Technology, we are learning about food and nutrition.  Although we have just started the unit of work, we are enjoying the activities and are learning a great deal about the topic.

Last week, we were paired up with Pre Primary Buddies. These will be our buddies for the rest of the year. We did a great ‘getting to know you’ activity and look forward to lots of fun times with them.

In Vietnam, young Nguyet was isolated as a result of her severe disabilities, until a program supporting parents of children with disabilities gave her family new skills and offered her education, creative outlets and community interaction.

Please donate to Project Compassion 2017 and help children with disabilities in Vietnam to learn new skills and connect with their communities.

Our iPads have arrived and we are all very excited!!  We are logging on and learning safe and appropriate ways to use our iPads at school. We have lots of new apps to try and are looking forward to using devices to enhance our learning.
