Highlights
Year 5/6 students were delighted to enjoy a private performance from the talented students of The Hamilton and Alexandra College in our very own church today.
These gifted performers are currently in Bendigo to take part in the VCE Season of Excellence: Top Class Regional event – and we feel so lucky to have had a sneak peek of their work before the big stage.
Thank you for sharing your gifts with us – it was a truly special experience for our students and staff.

5/6 Unit News
5/6 Unit have been enjoying the calmer term and are getting plenty of work done.
Last week a large group of Grade 6's headed off to Marist for a transition day.
Many of these students will head there for high school and this gave them a great chance to see the school on a normal school day.
We have started our class novel Black Cockatoo and while the weather remains lovely our students are enjoying buddy lunches with the foundation students each Friday.

The Pentecost Story Acts 2:1-3 - Religious Education
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
The children have listening to the story of Pentecost through scripture and Goldy Play, sharing their wonderings, re-writing the story, writing prayers to ask the Holy Spirit to help them, drawing and creating responses and making connections with their own experiences of times when they felt afraid, anxious or unsure.
Wonderful Weather – Inquiry
We have been learning about the different types of weather we can observe and have began tracking the weather conditions to identify any patterns.
We have also been busy exploring the water cycle through some cool experiments to help us understand how clouds are formed and how it rains.

Our Church
We are currently learning all about Church and how it is a gathering place for us to celebrate our faith. This week we visited our St Monica’s church where we explored the different areas, as well as learning about the various features inside and outside the church.
