Since the beginning of this term we have been looking at who are the influential figures of the Australian Catholic Church. Mary Mackillop is one of those people. She founded the St Joseph Sisters and her influence on our school has been discovered by all of us. We have started to learn about her and her family. She was an amazing women who did so much for so many people. Her motto of ‘Never seeing a need without doing something about it’ is something we know we need to do a little more of some days. We hope we can make a difference like Mary Mackillop.  

This week we have started to look at division and all the ways we can work out how to answer questions using a written strategy. We know it is a little difficult, but we are getting better at it. We have a couple of different ways we can use to work them out. Our multiplication, addition and even our subtractions skills are used when working out division.  

We have been given the go ahead in our History lessons to create in Minecraft. We are recreating the gold fields from the Gold Rush period. The way our knowledge of what happened in the Gold Rush is shown is by us using Non Player Characters (NPC). When you play the game, the players will go up to the NPC’s and a pop up speech bubble will appear with all the information we want to say. Everyone is having so much fun doing it.
