Religious Education focus: 

Students visited the Caritas Website and learnt about Lam's Story (Vietnam). Students learnt about differences in culture and how people who are differently able are treated.

Students in Galilee (Foundation) and Jerusalem gathered together to practice for next weeks mass. Students' voices rang out in glee as the joyful singing echoed through our halls.

English focus:We focused on new sounds "ee" and "ea". We discussed homophones, words that sound the same but have different meanings, like see and sea, or meet and meat. Students wrote a variety of sentences about families this week.
