Father John celebrated two beautiful liturgies with families on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Thank you to Mr John Downie, Mrs Becky Breen (from St Jude’s), Mrs Sally Campbell, Ms Jayneen Howes, Miss Liz Humphris and Mr Zac Natoli, for planning the celebrations and preparing the children to receive this important Sacrament. In October, these children will receive the Sacrament of First Eucharist.

The 5/6 students began learning about our new Ozobots which we have purchased thanks to a generous donation from our Parents Association. An Ozobot is a small robot that can be programmed to do different actions such as go faster, turn left or change colour according to the commands (or codes) the user gives them.

Here is a picture of an Ozobot.

Today the students drew coloured lines into codes that they hoped moved the Ozobots in a certain ways.

Here is the 5/6 students hard at work.

Many groups had success with their Ozobots and more importantly learnt lots of new skills that they will use in future lessons.

Here is one successful attempt.

In 1/2M we are learning how to write an information report and we have been learning about lions. We have done lots of research about lions. We have learned that lions live in a group called a pride and they are carnivores which means that they eat meat. The male lions have manes and they eat first because they need energy to protect their family. Lions are mammals and they feed their cubs milk. Some of the keywords we are using in our information reports are habitat, carnivore, omnivore, herbivore, breeding and endangered. The photo of the lions was taken in Africa by Miss McGing and we labelled it with their features. We are having lots of fun taking turns labelling photos on the Interactive TV.
