We have been super busy learning about so many wonderful things about Mary. We are recognising how she is portrayed in images and artwork, why she wears the colours she does, the way she acts in them and how she plays such an important role in Jesus’ life. Just this week we went on a search for Mary in our school and the church. Many images or statues of Mary were found. Our favourite of them all is listening to all the songs and prayers about Mary.  

In our writing lessons we have had a focus on poetry with students learning a few different types of poems. Using our descriptive language to create interesting poems has been so much fun.  

During Maths these past few weeks we have been collecting data and creating graphs to show our data and this past week we have had a focus on money. We are recognising the value of money and how to add it up to make different amounts using a variety of coins. We are excited to learn about First Nation weather calendars and compare them to the calendars we use everyday in our classroom.  

We are loving our Health lessons with a focus on belonging and stereotypes. We have had our kindness koalas on board this past week and have really seen everyone share the love in and around our room. We are getting better at knowing the difference between stereotypes and unkind comments.  

A gentle reminder that for Starry Starry Night, students need to wear Christmas clothes and comfortable shoes. The link for our song is on Seesaw parent announcements too. 

Kind Regards
