5/6W

Inquiry - By Emily

In inquiry we are making trioramas with the three levels of Government on each side! Some of us have finished making our trioramas, but others are nearly finished. We are also learning about how a new or changed law gets through the house of representatives and the senate, and to help us learn about democracy, we play a game on our iPads called democracity!! Democracity teaches us about voting, the election, and the roles and responsibility of the three levels of government. 

Education in Faith - By Aiden

In Ed in Faith we have been learning about the golden rule, which is treat others how you want to be treated and we made prayers about the golden rule. The thing that I like is that everyone’s prayer is different and unique. In everyone’s prayer we talk a little bit about the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, in mine I spoke about kindness and peace.

Literacy (War Horse) - By Nick

For the past month we have been reading a book called War Horse and we are up to chapter 12. We are about half way through the book and so far it has been amazing! I keep wondering if Albert is ever going to come back. My favourite part of the book is the start because it introduces the characters and sets up the story.
