Over the past two terms students have been diving into deep learning to help get a better understanding of Australian Indigenous Culture, this then brings students to have a deep discussion with their peers and teachers.
Early Stage One
Students in Early Stage One over the past week have been learning about ‘The Rainbow Serpent’ and how ‘The Rainbow Serpent’, was a protector of water. Early Stage One had a great discussion about this dreamtime story and created their own Rainbow Serpent.
Stage One
Stage One has been learning different ways to pronounce family in Indigenous Culture. Students have also been practicing using clapping sticks and practicing one song which is helping students understand the beat of music in Indigenous Culture.
Stage Two
Stage Two has had the opportunity to learn about the different tools that are used in Indigenous Culture. Students had the opportunity to find out information about how a boomerang is used and design their own using the Indigenous Art Culture of dot painting.
Stage Three
Stage Three have been getting the chance to understand the meaning of totem in Australian Indigenous Culture over the past two weeks students have gained a great understanding of the totem of the blue tongue lizard and why they are important to Indigenous Culture.

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
