Last Friday, the Year 7 class organised some fun fitness activities for 3/4 FC as part of their student leadership role in our school. Some of the activities included soccer skills and aiming for goals, musical chairs, hitting a target and a variety of relays. The students participated in each activity in small groups. By the end of the fitness session, we had many exhausted children!
Today our school celebrated St. Joseph’s Day. We began our special day by attending Mass with the parish community where we celebrated the life of St. Joseph. After Mass, the whole school walked down to The Gums for recess. The children had a great time playing with their friends. Once we arrived back at school, we continued our celebration with a free sausage sizzle and ice block. We would like to thank all of the volunteers who gave up their time to cook the sausages on such a hot day!
Last Thursday, we worked with our buddies to make “mini time capsules”. The 3/4 and R/1 students drew small pictures together. They carefully folded the pictures and placed them inside small plastic containers. The students and their buddies then went into the bottom yard to find a “secret spot” to bury their “mini time capsules”. I wonder if anyone has found any of our “mini time capsules” yet?
On Wednesday, 1st March, the students in Years 3-7 attended Mass to celebrate Ash Wednesday. After recess, a group of Year 3/4 students were involved in an Ash Wednesday presentation at the Junior Primary Ash Wednesday liturgy. After that, the students in 3/4FC took part in an Ash Wednesday spelling activity. Each student worked with a partner. They used the letters in the words “Ash Wednesday” to see how many different words they could make with their partner. Some students made more than forty words!
Last Tuesday, we celebrated Shrove Tuesday with our Buddy Class, R/1MB. The Year3/4 students brought a variety of toppings to share with their buddies. We had a great time eating pancakes with our Buddy Class in the bottom yard!
