Stage Two have really been enjoying playing both basketball and handball in the playground at recess and lunch this term and as we have discovered, sometimes games don’t always go as planned.
As we have been learning all about author’s purpose in both our reading and writing lessons, the students were given the task of creating rules surrounding both of these games, with the intent to promote fair play amongst their peers.
Students collaborated with each other to discuss the purpose and target audience needed to achieve this goal. They worked as a team to compose the rules surrounding the games and created some fabulous posters that will be displayed in our playground for all students to refer to during their play.

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
