Last week on Friday, the 6th of November 2020, Stage 3 had an incursion in school. It was so much fun as we got to see Canberra and the famous sites there.
First we watched a video about Parliament House and it was inspiring as there was so much to learn about. Then we had to do a crossword puzzle that related to the video we watched about Parliament House.
Right after the crossword puzzle we did a trivia which was hard because there were questions I didn’t know. Straight after we did a minute to win it, which meant you had to blow up a balloon and let the air out to move 11 cups off the table.
We then moved back into the shared space to look at a video which was the war memorial. It was nice to know the past wars Australia participated in. Then it was recess.
After recess we went to Questacon and we built a sculpture out of spaghetti and marshmallows. I didn’t touch anything as I hate marshmallows.
After Questacon we watched a tour of the National Gallery of Australia and saw some paintings that had meaning behind it. As everyone was so inspired the teachers put out paint and we made a fabulous painting of a mountain that was already in the gallery. Then it was Lunch.
At lunch I got my pie. It was delicious and scrumptious. It was great to see everyone happy in the incursion.
After lunch we watched a video for the Australian institute of sport. We watched people do a dribbling activity with two balls. Then we got into groups and did the same activity we just watched. It was hard and fun at the same time.
The day ended and it was time for everyone to head home. This was a day I will never forget.

ASH WEDNESDAY is always a special time in our liturgical calendar. A time that marks the start of LENT - taking the time to prepare for Easter. Time to think about how we can make a positive difference to the lives of others. Jesus sacrificed everything for us, so how can we find ways to show gratitude for his sacrifice!!! πβοΈπβοΈπβοΈπβοΈπβοΈ

Itβs time to celebrate all our February birthdays at St Bernadetteβs! This year we even have a leap year baby so he gets to choose to celebrate today or tomorrow - I wonder what heβll choose!!! Our kids have had a great month celebrating with family and friends, eating out at restaurants, going to Luna Park & Lasor Tag; having parties at home; eating some fabulous cakes; and receiving some pretty fabulous gifts including LEGO, a new phone, even a present from their Year 6 Buddy! However they have celebrated, their smiles tell the stories!! ππππππ₯³ππ

Last week I had to shift my support to the NRL because we had the Parramatta Eels come out to school to talk about positive wellbeing and of course promote the game of Rugby League. While Iβm not an Eels fan we certainly had a few fans around and I loved listening to the players and the positive advice they had for our students!!! BTW our kids asked some pretty AMAZING questions - we were so proud of them!!! ππππππππππ
