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 designated that the Feast of our Lady of the Rosary, Monday 7 October, be a Day of Prayer for Peace in the Middle East. So letβs all pray this PRAYER FOR PEACE from Pope Francis together today! O God, Trinity of love, from the profound communion of your divine life, pour out upon us a torrent of sisterly and brotherly love. Grant us the love reflected in the actions of Jesus, in his family of Nazareth, and in the early Christian community. Grant that we Christians may live the Gospel, discovering Christ in each human being, recognising him crucified in the sufferings of the abandoned and forgotten of our world, and risen in each sister or brother who makes a new start. Come, Holy Spirit, show us your beauty, reflected in all the peoples of the earth, so that we may discover anew that all are important and all are necessary, different faces of the one humanity that God so loves. AMEN.
