  K AY A and welcome to week 6, This week will be a short week, with Friday being a pupil free day.   Last week, we spent some time exploring  National  Sorry   Day   and coming up is National  Reconciliation   Week . The students have been completing activities and learning around these very important events for all Australians and the discussion we had on Friday in class while responding to an indigenous artist who is part of the stolen generation was incredible.   Rube Goldberg Machine Last week the students began exploring energy and as part of this, I have set them all a challenge...to create and video a Rube Goldberg Machine.  The students have explored what these machines are and have watched a few video examples of what it could include (including from the beginning of The Goonies,  although I do not expect anything quite as elaborate or for them to modify their front door!)  This task is a homework challenge and as I have posted on the Seesaw activity, the video is due in week

Welcome to a super busy few weeks for our Year 6 students as we complete our preparations for and receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.   Today we had a visit from Bishop Holohan who came to speak with us and check on our preparations to receive the Sacrament.  All students receiving the Sacrament met with the Bishop to discuss the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit.  As per my blog last week, we have confirmation coming up in the next few weeks, so we are madly working to complete this task.  Just a few reminders to start the term. 1. Saint Box and presentation - If your child hasn't brought in their box, please assist them to remember to bring this in as we have started our presentations.  The quality of these has been superb and the students obviously know lots about their Saints. 2.  We have our Parent Confirmation Evening tomorrow night - Tuesday 3rd May As Mrs Meyer advised last week, this will be held at school tomorrow and start at 5:30pm. 3.
