Week 3

Hi and welcome to another week.

A new homework grid went home today. It is due in a fortnight's time - Monday 13th May.
You will find the spelling words on the Homework Page if they get misplaced.
A reminder that the first homework grid of the term was due today. Please remind your child to return it if they haven't already.

This week in literacy we are focusing on the story 'The Little Red Hen'.  Our phonics focus is Long e - 'ee' & 'ea'.  We are also writing sentences using question marks and exclamation marks.

In maths we are continuing to practise counting in 3s and single digit addition plus we will be exploring how 3 digit numbers consist of hundreds, tens and ones.  We are revising 'o'clock' & 'half-past' and will introduce 'quarter past' and 'quarter to'. Reading analogue time is a concept children need a lot of practise with.

There are some important dates to remember:
Friday 3rd May - Disco: Years P - 3 5.30 pm - 7 pm
Wednesday 29th May - 2G Assembly @ 2.25 pm in Siena
Wednesday 5th June - 2G Mass @ 9 am in the church

Have a good week.

Here are some pictures of the children getting their groove on today!

Week 2

Hi and welcome to another week.

We are fully in the swing of this term's units of work now. The children have learnt about the parts if the Bible as an introduction to the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). Can any children remember how many books are in the Old and New Testaments?

The children are showing a great deal of interest in our History 'Anzac' unit. Today Jack shared his Grandfather's medals with us and we talked about Anzac Day symbols. The children are invited to represent St. Bernardine's in the Anzac Day march this Thursday. The school will meet at 9.30 am at Blackwell Street. The children are required to wear their Day 'check' uniform and they will need their hat.

You are welcome to join the school for the Anzac Day assembly at 2.15pm tomorrow (Wednesday 24th) in Siena.

Thanks to those who have brought their show boxes in already.

Have a good rest of the week,
Melissa & Felicity

Week 1

Welcome to Term 2! We hope you all had a wonderful Easter and an enjoyable holiday.  The children were very excited to walk into the classroom yesterday to find they had had a visit from the Easter bunny while they were away!  We began the morning with the whole school Resurrection Liturgy and they were lucky to receive another chocolate egg there as well.

We are beginning the first half of the term with an Anzac history unit with a focus on the symbols of Anzac Day and our local war memorial at Greenbank RSL. The children are invited to bring in any items or information your family may have that relates to this unit to make it a more personal experience for them. There will be more information about the work to be covered this term in the Term Two Letter which will come home shortly.

The children had their first dance fever lesson today and it was enjoy by all. They all did very well!

Have a good week,
Felicity and Melissa
