Today as part of our Harmony Day activities, we made origami boxes. Some of the students were having so much fun they wanted to continue making them at home.  Here is the video we watched to help make the boxes...... This video came from the  origami fun  website, which also has a page with step by step instructions to make the box and other fun origami pieces. Have fun Mr McSevich and Mrs Murphy

Week 8 -Reconcilliation

Good afternoon Year 3Mc Parents and welcome to this this very important week in our faith journey. Arrival Time & Dress  - Please be at the Church by 5.20pm.  Your child is to be dressed in smart casual clothing. Upon arrival they will show you to your seat. Please be mindful that some of the pews are quite small so it will be for immediate family only (parents/siblings). There will be room in the choir loft for additional family members. All students have a part to play in the service so please ensure they are seated in the Church by 5:20pm to enable them to prepare themselves for their part in the service.   Prayer Buddies  - All prayer buddies are expected to attend...please let me know via email if you are unable to attend.   Rehearsals  - We will be walking down to the Church on Tuesday from 11.30. This will help the students to feel confident in their preparations so they know what to expect. During this time we will do the Examination of Conscience in which we ask the

Reconciliation!!!

Dear Parents, next week on Tuesday 26th March we will be walking down to the church to allow the children to do their Examination of Conscience leading up to receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We will leave after recess and the children will take their lunch with them. We will eat our lunch together at the church. Please note that your child will not be able to order their lunch from the canteen on that day. Footy Tipping:  Today your child may have brought a footy tipping sheet home with them. It is not compulsory but just a fun way during the footy season. I have explained to the children that they need to cross out the team that they think will not win. The team that is left is the winning team. I will explain it again tomorrow in case the children didn't fully understand. There will be weekly prize of a mars bar. If you do not want your child to get a mars bar, please let me know and I can provide a different prize. Swimming: The children have been absolutely amazin

Swimming Lesson Update!

Dear Parents, the swimming lesson arrangements have change and these are the update details for Monday 18th March. The children will now have Crunch and Sip at school earlier than normal. They will then have an early lunch before they go to the swimming pool. They will need to take their recess with them to the pool and also their drink bottle. If they could have separate swimming with these items in that would be wonderful. They still need to wear their bathers under their sport uniform and wear joggers to school. They can however bring thongs to wear to and from the pool. Thank you for your support. Kind regards, Paula Murphy

Maths Information!

Dear Parents, today I have sent home with your child a login card for them to do Mathletics at home. It is not compulsory but it will help your child revise concepts that have been treated in class. I have set the area of Place Value. The children will have an opportunity to do some Mathletics in class time but possibly only one session per week of 15-20 minutes. Sight words have also been sent home and should be in your child's homework folder. The sight words need to be read and spelt correctly. As we have swimming next week the turn around for the sight words will be a little longer. Your child if they are ready can be tested in Week 8. Swimming for 3Mu is next week (Week 7). We will leave school at 11.30 and return at 2.15. Your child will have their crunch and sip and morning tea at school. They will take their lunch to the pool as they have a break between their lessons. They will need to have a separate small bag for their lunch which needs to be labelled please. They wi

Money, Money, Money!!!

Dear Parents, just an update to let you know what is happening in 3Mu. Currently in Maths we are working with money doing both adding and subtracting amounts. The children have each been given a bag of real money to help them with their working out and understanding of the concepts. They seem to be enjoying Maths but most importantly showing a good understanding. Please encourage your child to add or subtract different amounts of money. NO Spelling homework this week as it is a short week and also due to Ash Wednesday Mass we were not able to run our usual spelling PLD groups. During the season of Lent the children will be trying to do something extra each day. They will choose it at school and then complete the task. It may be as simple as "Telling Mum or Dad that they love them". REMINDER: Please bring in your 2 boxes of tissues if you haven't done so yet. Our supply is very small. Harmony Day.  March 29 th  2019 . Dear Parents, We need you….. On the
