Welcome to our place, 27 Foundation @ Sacred Heart Clifton Grove Preston.

That's where you'll find us; listening, learning, drawing, talking, sharing, creating, laughing, singing!

It's been a great week in Foundation, learning about listening with our whole bodies, asking friends if they would like to play with us and what to do next if they say no. In Mathematics we have been learning the different times of the day (morning, lunchtime, afternoon and night time) as well as the days of the week! They are a clever bunch! We've also been singing songs and reading stories and having a really good time getting to know each other better

In Reading we read a beautiful book about a boy who wanted his own star. He tries lots of different ways and is unsuccessful, but in the end he is........well, I won't give it away but he ends up being verrry happy!

Ans here is another great artist who wanted to share his work. Excellent, Guanhuai!

Dear Families,

It has been a wonderful week of learning. In Math we are focusing on Place Value. To enjoy this unit the children have been using number lines and ordering numbers. In Religion we have been writing informal prayers inspired by the world around us. Please enjoy the photos from this week.

Stay safe!

As part of our Literacy sessions, the year 4/5 and 5/6 students have started listening and responding "Ä Ghost In My Suitcase" by the Australian author Gabrielle Wang. The story is about twelve-year-old Celeste, who is half French, half Chinese and all Australian. She travels to China to scatter her mother’s ashes. There she meets her grandmother, Por Por, a quirky and wise woman with an unusual skill. Por Por is a ghost-hunter and her services are much in demand. Following are thoughts that students have made about the story s far. 

It’s very interesting because there is a lot going on in the plot. The story is very mysterious. We feel a connection to Celeste and how she doesn’t want Ting Ting to feel bad.   

Katalina & Laura

We really like the story, it’s so good. We think Por Por wants to help Ting Ting be a magician. We think Ting Ting doesn’t like how Por Por treats her. We are interested in how it will end up!  Amy & Ben

We like it because it has lots of drama. So far we are enjoying the story because of the interesting plot twists. The old French was really interesting and quite creepy in our opinion! We think there might be magic and mythical creatures involved!   Kaitlyn & Mia

It’s a very interesting plot line, so far Celeste doesn’t know what’s happening but we think there is magic going on. We feel connected to Por Por because she has a lot of energy. We don’t think Ting Ting needs to be jealous of Celeste!   Chloe & Azariah

It’s really interesting and super nice to read, we like the writing style! We think because of the title, Celeste and Ting Ting might see some ghosts from their past.   

Raffaela & Raffeale

What we like about the book is that the characters are very funny and the story is very interesting. We think there will be bad guys they have to face.   Arvin & Kaiden

It’s a very fantastic and fun book. It made us feel very curious and also sad for Ting Ting and Celeste’s mum. We think Little Cloud is going to get angry with Ting Ting for how she has been treating her.   Kaone & Shamus

The book has a weird atmosphere which makes it really juicy and we really like the characters in it. The book can change within a few pages and it makes it really interesting! Cody & Tristan

We’d say it's a fantastic thriller and a story about mixed emotions. It’s a very unique style of writing with many interesting aspects and emotions. It feels like a very real story, you can see it in your mind.   Nirav & Sai

We think the book is very interesting and we think the story is slowly leading up to what the title is about. We like that the book is very mystical, like the sword made out of coins, it seems like an adventure.   Natalie & Massie
