Working hard on French story books

- Posted by Mrs Bradley

Week 4

I hope you have all had a wonderful show weekend and have done things you don't usually do during a two day weekend.

This week is going to be another busy one. The teachers are not mentioning the netball final! The students won last week on sheer intelligence and cunning and are not taking things for granted this time. But students beware; nor are the teachers.

The French story books Room 5 are producing are second to none. I can't believe the standard of art every student is producing and the Room 1&2s are really going to appreciate all the hard work.

We had visits from several Secondary school ex pupils of St Mary's last week. It is always awesome to see them back at school growing into such remarkable young men and women and the way they speak of their primary schooling makes me feel so grateful to have had the pleasure of teaching these fine young people.

We are continuing with our careers unit this week. Do ask your children to give you feedback on this unit, you might be surprised by the maturity and well thought out ideas your offspring have.

Keep well and enjoy the busy lead up to the Christmas season,

God Bless

Show week begins

Dear All

I hope this short week is going to be as warm and sunny as it was today. I always look upon Show week as the beginning of the warm and reliable weather. We have our school photos being taken on Tuesday. Remember to fill in your little form if you want a family photo taken and send it back to school. Nearly all of the camp forms have been returned to school. It's funny how these forms don't languish in the school bags isn't it.

This week Room 5 will be continuing to work on their French story books. I have been most impressed with the art work I have seen and I'm sure the Rooms 1 & 2 will be too when they have them read to them.

As Maria wrote in the blog last week the staff won the netball game. This I am sure was more due to the length of Mr O'Neill's arms and the height of us compared to the students rather than our superior skill. We're having another game this week presuming our creaky bodies last that long. ( there will be cries of 'speak for yourself' I imagine )

We are revising the four operations with fractions in Maths this week. Fractions are always a sticking point and the more practice the students get the more confident they become.

I hope all goes well this week for you and your families,

God bless,

Seniors vs Teachers!

Today Room 5 netball team versed the teachers in a round of netball. The teachers won by 10 points but that is not all. We have decided to have 2 more rounds to make it the best of three. Good luck to the students next Thursday.

Week two

Welcome to a new week and the beginning of November.
A notice concerning camp went home today. We would appreciate these to be filled in and returned to school as soon as possible.
There is a school Mass tomorrow; All Saints' Day. Everyone is of course welcome to join us at 12 noon.
The Room 5 students have been enjoying debating over the last week. It was very amusing to see mixed teams debating the topic: 'that girls talk more than boys'. Naomi summed it up well for her team stating 'that the topic is sexist anyway and neither boys nor girls talk more' Tomorrow the topic under discussion is the desirability of school uniforms. Sadly for some it won't make any difference to St Mary's policy on school uniforms.
The annual year 8 versus the teachers netball game is taking place, weather permitting, on Friday lunch time. There has been sharpening of claws taking place secretly. Both sides are quite confident of winning. No fools like old fools. But who knows........ We promise there will be no eye gouging!

I hope your week goes well,

Regards and God bless
