What's Been Happening in Prep
Last week, the Prep students went on an awesome excursion to My First Gym. This connected to our Inquiry unit on ‘Keeping our Bodies Healthy’. We have been learning the various ways in which we can keep ourselves healthy, such as eating healthy food, sleep, washing our hands and exercising. At My First Gym, the students engaged in a range of activities that promoted physical activity, fitness and fun! They rotated through three separate activities which included fitness, gymnastics and different gross motor activities. Some of the activities they engaged in were boxing, climbing, balancing on a beam, monkey bars, rope swinging and so much more! The Prep’s had so much fun and enjoyed the experience of going on the bus and completing the activities with their friends.
What's Been Happening in Year 5
Year 5 Excursion to the Old Melbourne Gaol
On Thursday the 8th and 15th of May, Year 5 Students travelled to and visited the Old Melbourne Gaol. They were intrigued and highly engaged to learn and discover about the history of Ned Kelly and his life as a bushranger. It was a fun-filled day with beautiful weather and lots of learning.
Year 5 Mass
On Thursday the 22nd of May, the Year 5s had our year level Mass with Father George. During his homily, we had the opportunity to name God’s love in our lives and reflect on moments of the year so far where we have shown it. We thank you Fr George, and thank all of our wonderful families that attended the mass, sharing God’s love with us together.
Yo-yo Club news
This year we have introduced a Yo-yo club initiative for students to learn new tricks and skills in the world of Yo-yos. Led by Mr Graziano and supported by one of our yo-yo enthusiastic students Christian (4C), the club meets every Monday for 4-5 weeks to first learn how to work the yo-yo and then learn tricks like ‘walk the dog’ and ‘the cradle’. Students who participate in this club have loved learning something new and showing off these skills to anyone who visits. At assembly on Friday the 23rd of May, some of the club members demonstrated the tricks they learnt with Mr Graziano. What an amazing achievement!
