On Thursday 4th August the Year 4 classes went on an excursion to Fremantle. We were taken on a guided tour of the Duyfken, the first European vessel to reach Western Australia in 1606. It was so interesting to find out about the harsh condition that sailors lived in in those days. Being a bit of a rainy day we got the authentic experience of being in the ship’s hull in the weather. While we were close by, we also visited the Shipwreck Museum. We were amazed at all the artifacts from shipwrecks on the WA coast found from over the last 400 years. Luckily for us there was also a sea monsters dress up activity upstairs. We all had a great day and we’re looking forward to visiting the Maritime Museum next! Check out these websites if you’d like to find out more.

On Thursday 4th August the Year 4 classes went on an excursion to Fremantle. We were taken on a guided tour of the Duyfken, the first European vessel to reach Western Australia in 1616. It was so interesting to find out about the harsh condition that sailors lived in in those days. Being a bit of a rainy day we got the authentic experience of being in the ship’s hull in the weather.

In Year 3, we have been reading the BFG and were lucky enough to go see the movie!  We have talked about what was the same and what was different between the movie and the book.  We also wrote a report on our thoughts and designed posters to advertise the movie .  

In Maths, we have been learning about Area and we were challenged to make metre squares out of paper and masking tape!  It has also been a busy week for us as we prepare for our assembly this Friday.  We can not wait to see you there!  

In Health, we are learning about Drugs and the precautions we have to take when coming in contact with prescribed drugs. Our work on this topic will be on display in our classrooms for Fathers’ Night. In Civics and Citizenship, we are beginning to look at the types of government around us, participate in a voting activity to understand what it is like to be in a democratic society, and be aware of the responsibilities of the local, state and federal governments.

In Religious Education we are looking at the beauty of creation and how this helps us discover that God is more beautiful than we ever could imagine.

We will be exploring ways Jesus helps his followers appreciate beauty in creation. How Jesus taught his friends that God wants to come and live in them, who are part of creation, and so help them to speak and to act in beautiful ways. We will also learn that God lives in people through the Sacrament of Baptism.

Lastly we explore ways Christians show love for God by showing appreciation for the beauty in creation.

We are also learning many prayers:

Our Father, Hail Mary and the Glory Be to the Father.

Year 5 Class New On Monday Year Five attended the 'Bush Babies' exhibition at Wanneroo Museum. We were treated to a talk from Sharyn Egan, a local Noongar artist and saw various examples of portraits that have been painted as part of the project. The students discussed the techniques and impact of the paintings before trying their hand at a portrait of a class member. We also attended the 'Collecting Stories and Telling Tales' Exhibition. Not only are there many artifacts and photos belonging to many St Anthiny's families there are also Wanneroo memories from Five Blue and Gold on display. We would like to thank Mrs Elsegood, Mrs Madureira, Mr Moyo, Mrs Rudrum, Mrs Singara and Mrs Wraight for accompanying us on the excursion.

YEAR 4 RE NEWS

 

In preparation for our First Holy Communion next term, we have been learning about the Eucharist. When bread and wine are made, many individuals grains or grapes are joined together to make a new whole. This is similar to the way we all come together to celebrate the Eucharist. We made Pic Collages to explain the process of making bread and wine. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we get ready for the next big step in our faith journey.

 

Year 4

KINDY NEWS Over the past four weeks in Kindergarten, we have been very busy learning all about Australia. We have read a variety of books based on Australian animals such as Edward the Emu, Possum Magic and Wombat Stew. We have made paper plate wombats and emus, painted maps of Australia and collaged the Australian flag. We made our very own ‘Wombat Stew’ and painted some very pretty possums. We have continued learning all about our sounds and numbers in our Literacy and Maths rotations.  It has been a very busy term with lots of learning, play and fun times in Kindy!

The Year 2s have had a very busy term and have been working really hard!
