In Early Stage One we have been focusing on Bush Tucker and ways Indigenous people track animals in the bush. The students enjoyed going on a bush tucker hunt out in our Rosary garden and have been learning about witchetty grubs, honey ants and other bush food. We have been engaging in drawing and dancing like different Australian animals.
In Stage One we have been focusing on dreamtime stories. Students have been learning about traditional stories that were used to share knowledge and pass on information from Elders to the next generation. Last week students learnt about the story, The Echidna and the Shade Tree and had a strong discussion of the meaning of this dreamtime story. They enjoyed creating an echidna using play dough and sticks from the garden.
In Stage Two we have been focusing on interpreting and understanding Indigenous dance. We have been learning about and creating a pamphlet about Blue Tongue lizards as it represents our school totem. Stage Two students presented their interpretation of a Blue Tongue Lizard Dance and will be performing a dance which they will choreograph based on a dreamtime story of their choice.
In Stage Three we have been focusing on understanding Indigenous artists' and how Indigenous artworks tell a story. They presented a speech and researched a particular artist and gave detail about the artist.
As a whole school community at St Bernadette’s we have collated a totem project which Mrs Graham has put together to be presented.

Tomorrow or Stage 1 students will continue with their Kitchen Garden Program. Both Year 1 and Year 2 in small groups work out in Bluey’s Patch tending to the veggie garden and then get ‘cooking’ and prepare something using items they have gathered from the patch. Last term they made flavoured their water using herbs from the garden and other fruits. A great way to get kids interested and trying healthy food. What will they make this term??? 💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿![683352593576951_1203760004869538-1]()

On Friday we celebrated our ANZAC Day Liturgy a little differently due to the unpredictable weather. Year 3, 4 and KBlue gathered in the year 3 space and all the other classes gathered in their respective spaces. Our Stage 3 Mission Team led our liturgy with KBlue in charge of the Gospel procession and 3Gold sharing their reflections. Our students were both respectfully and prayerful. We will remember them. Lest we forget. 💛🌺💛🌺💛🌺💛🌺

Yesterday we celebrated as a community our Easter Liturgy - the joyous occasion of Jesus rising to join God in heaven. We also remembered and prayed for Pope Francis who passed way soon after Easter. I shared with the children my close encounter with Papa Francis back in 2018 when I had the privilege of going on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land & Rome. We had an audience with the Pope in St Peter’s Square and my fondest memory was when he reminded us to always ‘listen with the ears of your heart’. What a powerful reminder from a man who served with such understanding, inclusion and compassion. I pray we all continue to learn from the wonderful example Papa Francis was for us. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
