Kindergarten H
It has been a dddddelightful and eeeeeexciting fortnight in Kindergarten. In honour of St Patrick’s Day we celebrated with a festivity of all things green. Between the two classrooms there was green slime, green play dough, shamrock printing, green painting, shamrock necklaces and even green jelly making. Mrs Doherty came to speak with us and share some photos of her home country, Ireland. We were all in awe of the magnificent castles and the snow.
With our letter Ee adventures this week, we have commenced work on our Easter projects. They are looking “egg-cellent!” With Holy Week nearly upon us, the children have started to learn about the importance of Easter and the events leading up to Jesus’ resurrection.

We’ve been busy workers this fortnight!
Within the learning area of English we have continued sorting our spelling words and looking at a range of different sounds. Our book focuses have been ‘The Circus Ship’ and ‘Rose meets Mr Wintergarten’. During the fortnight we have analysed the characters' emotions and described the events in the stories. During our small group activities our focus has been speech marks and adding expression. The students have enjoyed creating a range of PicCollage posters to demonstrate their learning.
During Mathematics we have begun our investigations into measurement. We began by measuring the lengths of different objects within the classroom and DaVinci space. The students have been very careful to measure and count accurately.
PAThS this fortnight has seen us exposed to six new feelings. We have looked at a range of comfortable and uncomfortable feelings. The students created PicCollage posters showing others how they would look if they were feeling happy, sad, private, tired, excited and fine.
Last Wednesday we were privileged to have Sharon from Ellenbrook Library come to talk about the variety of activities on offer at the library. She read a hilarious story titled, ‘The Book with No Pictures’. Sharon used lots of expression to tell the story.

We have had a very busy week in Year 3! On Wednesday, we celebrated our Year 3 Liturgy. Our theme was Strengthened by the Holy Spirit. We explored ways in which the Holy Spirit guides us to make the right choices. We also looked at how the Holy Spirit was present when Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist. We completed some beautiful artwork on this Gospel story, which is now on display outside our classroom.
In Health, we have been looking at the importance of staying fit and healthy. We have been exploring the heart and how we can make it stronger through exercise. We learnt that the heart beats 10,000 times each day! We have been doing fitness circuits in PE to help us get our heat pumping. We are seeing an improvement in our fitness already! Below are some photos of us making our heart stronger.
