3/4D

Sacrament of Reconciliation

Next Wednesday 2nd April, eight of our Year 3/4 students will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the very first time. They have been preparing at home and at school to learn about the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation in their lives. We've been reflecting on our choices and the difference between right and wrong. We have been using scripture stories such as The Prodigal Son, Zacchaeus and The Good Samaritan to learn about God's love for us and how the decisions we make in life can affect others. Fr Chinua came to visit all 3/4s last week and will visit again this week to continue their preparation. We pray for our friends Harley, Nicholas, Matilda, Dwayne, Xaivier, Maddie, Samuel and Everard during this special time.

Special Days

There have been lots of 'Special Days' in 3/4D with a lot to celebrate including:  'Aussie Day' to celebrate my Australian Citizenship, St. Patrick's Day and Harmony Day. How wonderful it has been to see the children dressed up, engaging in various activities related to identity and culture. We have had the best time dancing, singing, colouring, eating fairy bread and sharing all of our amazing similarities and differences! What a couple of weeks!

District Athletics

Parents are welcome to join us at Ballam Park next Tuesday 1st April for the Bayside District Track Athletics. This is an event for selected students and students who wanted to attend. Thank you to the parents that have already filled out the Operoo notice giving permission for their child to attend. Please re-check Operoo for all of the details and keep an eye on the weather.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter.

Kind regards,

Mrs. Terry and Miss Becc
