Goodbye & Thank you Mrs A!

Good bye Mrs Aguilera, the students and I thank you for this year! We wish you and your family well and we excitedly await news from you! We will miss you and look forward to you and the new arrival visiting us later in the year. x

Week 10

Welcome to week 10! Wow, can you believe how fast the term has gone?

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

Firstly, congratulations to the students who made their First Holy Communion over the weekend, we are very proud of how seriously you took the preparation and with how reverently you participated in mass. We hope you had a lovely time celebrating this very special time with you families. We continue to pray for those students who are making their First Holy Communion on another weekend and we wish you well.

PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION

We would like to thank all the students who presented their persuasive speech. We were very impressed with the standard of students’ speeches, both content and delivery! The confidence and skills that students are developing with public speaking is clearly evident. It was wonderful to hear students’ different opinions and arguments. As convincing as some students were around the issue that homework should be banned, I’m sorry to say that Year 2 will still be doing homework next term!

We would like to congratulate the six students who made it through to the next round – Charlotte, Tarlay, Alexis, Leo, Will and Yanna. Well done!

The 3 finalists will present their speeches in the hall on Wednesday at 9:00am.

WEEK 9 SPELLING

This week, students will go through their previous spelling tests and workbooks to identify words that they are currently having difficulty spelling correctly. Students can practice learning these words at home and in class. We will do peer-testing of these words on Friday.

LIFE EDUCATION VAN

Year 2 will visit the Life Education Van at 11:30 on Wednesday.

We hope you enjoy the last week of Term 3,

Mrs Robinson & Mrs Aguilera

Year 2 Assembly Item

Year 2, Great job with your assembly item on 'Habit 3: Put First Things First' on Friday!

You were wonderful!

Thirroul Fire Brigade Visit

Last Thursday, Thirroul Fire Brigade visited to educate the children on fire safety. Their main message to the children was 
'Fire is a tool for adults, not a toy for children'.

The children all had a chance to explore a fire truck and have a go at extinguishing a ‘fire’ with a hose.

The children will be bringing home information about making, or reviewing a family fire escape plan just in time for the school holidays!
