Dear Parents and Guardians

Happy St Jude’s Feast Day!

We have enjoyed wonderful celebrations

today for the feast of St Jude, patron saint

of our school and parish.

We began with a reverent and joyful Mass

honouring St Jude, Apostle of Jesus, and

then headed back into our classes to share

information and activities about our patron

saint.

The St Jude’s Got Talent show was great

fun and we were amazed at some of the

hidden talents in our students!

T

St Jude’s Feast Day, October 28th

St Jude, Apostle of Jesus,

You carried the Good News to the world.

Guide us in our learning, and in working to achieve our goals.

Guide us in understanding our troubles,

And in learning to grow from them.

Speak to Jesus for us in our needs and help us to help others. We remember the help you give us and do our best to tell others about you.

Amen.

SCHOOL SPORTS UNIFORMS

Students in Yrs.1-6 have sports

activities on different days of the

week. If you are unsure of what

uniform your child should be wearing

each day, please check with the

classroom teacher.

PRE PRIMARY

We have been busy since our first day this term.

We have been remembering some of our sight

words and have been learning more of them.

We have been listening to many stories and Mrs

Lambert is asking us tricky questions about what

we learnt from the story.

We have counted by tens and have found numbers

all the way up to 100.

We are excited about St Jude's special day on

Wednesday, but we still need some helpers to walk

us around the mission markets. Can you help us?

Mrs Grupillo, Mrs Fonseca and Miss Phillips are

going to paint faces for the markets, Yay!!!! 😄

We hope to raise lots of money for the missions.

If you are bringing food for the shared lunch,

please bring your food to Pre-Primary as we will be

eating here. No nuts or nut products please.

YEAR 2

In Year Two we are on a quest to develop our

creativity. Sometimes we try something that

doesn’t work. When this happens, we may need to

pull something apart and rebuild it using some of

the same materials. We have been experimenting

with processes by using materials to join,

separate, combine and assemble. Knowing how to

solve problems with the resources we have, will

help us for our final task of the unit.

Year 2 (continued)

We have been working on creating an artwork for

springtime. It’s a colourful flower that POPS out of

the canvas. We hope you are able to see our

artwork and many other things we have been doing

at our assembly on the 6th November (Week 4).

YEAR 4

Welcome back to term four!

It has been an exciting start to the term. On

Sunday the 25th of October some of our year 4

students made their First Holy Communion. This

was a special time for them as they received Jesus

for the very first time. I would also like to take the

opportunity to acknowledge the rest of the class

students who participated in the preparation.

A very special day!!
