This term, in Religion we have been busy solving the driving question of “Why do people pray?”
As part of their learning the students have been exploring why prayer is important in our relationship with God.
To help them be successful the students reflected on how they use prayer in their own life. The next step was to design and then conduct a prayer session for a designated audience. The students were extremely excited to invite our stage 3 students to come and be part of their prayer sessions, they even made special invitations.
The big day arrived and the Stage 1 students were well prepared with prayer cards and gifts they had made as part of their prayer sessions. It was a joy to watch the interactions with all the students who proudly shared their knowledge and projects.
Dance and Music
This term, Stage One has been Dancing through the Decades! Each week we have been dancing through time starting in the 1950s with the Jive, through to the present as students created their own routines using movements that reflect 2022.
We have been exploring why people dance and how the purpose of dance has changed over time. Students have been experimenting with different ways they can move their bodies in rhythm, creating different shapes and levels through collaborative learning experiences. Below are some images of all our hard work!
Writing
This week our students have been working on writing about their favourite recipe or food as a way of informing others about information they already know. We call this type of writing a ‘procedure’ and the students have been engaged with sharing their love of food, we definitely have some budding chefs!

The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC) has welcomed the election of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as the Pope, now to be known by the name Leo XIV. This represents a momentous event in the life of the Catholic Church, the wider community of Christian believers and, in many respects, the whole world.β Conference President, Archbishop Costelloe said Pope Francis had βreminded us that unity does not demand uniformity, but rather openness to the rich diversity of the many cultures and traditions which are part of our Christian heritageβ. Pope Leo XIV paid tribute to Pope Francis in his first remarks, which focused on peace. βPeace be with all of you,β he said. He urged the faithful to βmove forward, without fear, united, hand in hand with God and with each otherβ. Let us all pray for Pope Leo πππ»πππ»πππ»πππ»

Tomorrow or Stage 1 students will continue with their Kitchen Garden Program. Both Year 1 and Year 2 in small groups work out in Blueyβs Patch tending to the veggie garden and then get βcookingβ 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??? ππΏππΏππΏππΏ

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. ππΊππΊππΊππΊ
