Visual Arts:
During Visual Arts, students have begun an artwork that was not only inspired by the Australian Artist Ken Done, but also our excursion to The Rocks where we saw the iconic landmarks of Sydney earlier this Term.
After viewing and appreciating some of Ken Done’s amazing artworks of Sydney Harbour, students have begun to sketch the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and some of the surrounding skyscrapers that make up the city of Sydney.
Students have been using lead pencil to sketch the landmarks using basic lines and shapes. Size and proportion are other elements that students are using while sketching. Using Ken Done’s bright and colourful artworks as inspiration, students will then use watercolours to paint their sketch.
We can’t wait to see these amazing artworks finished!
Pen Licences:
This term Year 4 students are working hard to receive their Pen Licence!
Correct letter formation, entry and exit flicks, joining letters and legibility are all part of the criteria for the students to achieve their pen licence.
As you can see from the smiles on the students’ faces who have received their pen licence, it is a very exciting rite of passage for Year 4 students!
Geography
This Term during Geography, the students will be exploring the inquiry question, How is Australia similar or different to its neighbouring countries?
So far the wonderings presented by the students about who our neighbours are and what are the possible similarities and differences between them and Australia have been rather inquisitive and will prove to be great starting points as the students begin to investigate using research skills.

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. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
