Learning & Teaching
Junior School News
This term, Year 1 have been learning about Procedural Texts and the main features of this text type. The students have followed the writing process of planning, composing, recording, revising and publishing, to write their own Procedure for making a type of potion.
The students then shared their procedures with the Year 2 classes.
The Year 2 students then followed the steps to make the potions.
Wellbeing Groups - Gratitude
This semester during our Wellbeing Groups, we have focussed on the word Gratitude. Gratitude refers to appreciating the person or thing that did something good for you or made you feel happy. This afternoon, all students met in their Wellbeing Group to continue discussing how we can show gratitude to others at Sacred Heart. Below are some examples the students suggested. All students were given a Gratitude Journal by Eve and Martin, our Year 6 Wellbeing Leaders, to work on in the session and at home.
Different ways to show Gratitude at Sacred Heart:
- help others when they are hurt
