Today we read an article about Fidget Spinners. We learnt all about this latest craze sweeping the globe. Such as;
*The inventor of the gadget
*How it all begun
*What the disaster was in 2005, resulting in the inventor not making any money
*Uses of the Fidget Spinner
*Why some schools have banned the fidget spinners

National Sorry Day
Today is National Sorry Day.
It is a day that recognises the negative impact of Australian policies, practices and attitudes on Indigenous people.
We celebrated the day, by getting our hands painted and creating a banner with the words ‘sorry’ painted on it. The Year 5/6 leaders, did a fantastic job running the activity.
Kids Helpline
Today the Year 3/4’s all experienced a video conference for the first time. They spoke to a counsellor named Georgia who works at the Kids Helpline. Georgia spoke to all the students about the importance of friends, how to best get along with people, the qualities you look for in a friend and how to approach and solve conflict. Thanks Mrs Maelasi for organising the session for us!

Preparing for First Holy Communion
Today those students making their First Holy Communion all gathered together as a group with Mrs Galea. The students created artwork, which will be on display at the Church during their sacrament. Enjoy this special time students, preparing and learning more about Eucharist.
Making Inferences
This week students are working on the CAFE strategy ‘Infer and support with evidence.’
Making an inference is when you use experiences, observations, prior knowledge and clues from the story to figure out what the author is not directly saying.
Take a good look at the picture below. What inferences can you make? Write them in the comment section below!
Best of Me Awards
Congratulations to the following Year 3/4 students who received their bronze certificate today at assembly! Keep up the great work.
The Life of Jesus
This week students have been busy researching the life of Jesus. The students were given the task to explore his life and select his most significant events to represent in a timeline. It was wonderful hearing all the information that students learnt about Jesus at the end of each lesson.
Today was the final lesson where students printed their information they collected over the week and presented their information on the paper. Even after the lunch bell went, it was great to see students stay behind eager to finish their work.
Well done 3/4’s! It is great to see so much enthusiasm and effort being put into tasks.
The Rosary
This morning during morning prayer we discussed that there is a special way to honor Jesus and Mary and we call it praying the Rosary. We use a circle of beads and we say a prayer as we touch each bead. Father Luciano very kindly gave every student rosary beads as a gift and after the month of October students will be able to take these home.
When we pray the rosary we think about important times in the lives of Jesus and Mary. Some of these times were happy and some of these times were sad. We call these important times mysteries.
There are four sets of mysteries and each set has a different name. Does anyone remember what they are called? Write them in the comment section below?
Walk to School Day
Congratulations to all the students and families who took part in Walk to School day today.
National Walk Safely to School Day is an annual event and has been running for 18 years. Walking to school not only reduces the level of air pollution created by motor vehicles but also improves our health and wellbeing.
