Rugby World Cup
On the last day of term 3, we celebrated the Rugby World Cup by having a tabloids in the morning. We were divided into 20 country teams and we had to dress in our country colours! We all had a great morning as we got to experience the atmosphere and excitement of the Rugby World Cup. We even got to end the morning with a mexican wave - just like they do at the games!

Museum Trip
Thanks to the parents who helped with the trip. The children were really well behaved and really enjoyed the Aqua show. We were not allowed to take photos inside the show but I am sure the children will tell you all about it.

Rosmini Sessions
The year 12 students at Rosmini have been teaching us about various topics related to Health and Safety. They use a variety of teaching and communication methods. They Skype us, make us videos, visit us and send us powerpoints to watch. So far we have learnt about manners, healthy lunch boxes and fire safety.

P. E. at Rosmini
Every week we go to Rosmini for a P.E lesson taken by year 12-13 boys. This is a highlight that the children really look forward to. It is great to see our students interacting with the older students. It has benefits for both schools. Our children have an opportunity to work in small intensive groups to work on developing their skill levels over a variety of activities. The Rosmini boys work on their organisation, communication and sports teaching skills. We have found that this is really worthwhile community building project.
ENJOY!!!
ENJOY!!!

Science in Room 7 and 8
What an exciting week ahead. The children spent 2 blocks investigating various science concepts including static electricity to surface tension.
Over the next few days the children will be heading off around the middle syndicate to explore more science concepts. Many of these activities can be done in the home so let the kids become the scientists!!!!!!

Happy Holidays from Miss Iskandar and Mrs Eichmann
Well we have made it to the end of the first term. The children have adjusted well to the blended classes and we are now beginning to see friendships between the year groups.
Next term our main topic is movement. Week 1 is science week and the children will be spending the morning in their own room but will move between the four syndicate teachers for the rest of the week. Each teacher is doing different science experiments. Our aim is for children to experience science in various forms and hopefully spark interest for them in this area of learning.
Friday is St Joseph's Feast Day so we will be having mass at 9:15 which you are all invited to attend. At 11:00 we will have school wide tabloids finishing with a shared lunch.
We hope that you all have a safe, happy and Holy Easter. Keep up the reading and basic facts.
