Mother's Day Photos

Hi Parents,

As you would be aware, our Mother's Day Loturgy is coming up.

If possible, could you send a photo of your child with yourself (or Mum for the Dad's reading this) ASAP and I will forward these on to Mr Kinch :)

Phonics song

Hi Parents,

Here is a link for a great phonics song that assists your children with letter/sound relationships. That is, the names of letters and the sounds they make. These relationships are crucial for both reading and writing.

Welcome back!

Hi Kindergarteners and Parents!

Welcome back to Term 2 at St Mary's. It was great to see everyone so eager on the first day back. Judging on the stories I heard today, everyone enjoyed their well-earned break and had a very busy time, with an improbable number of students going on airplanes (at least after Mr Sherry had told them that he'd been on one!)

Here, the children are revising 'The Washing of the Feet' in Religious Education before we move onto our next unit, 'The Easter Season'.

Once again, welcome back to Term 2 and I look forward to working with your children and yourselves over the remaining terms.

Cheers,

Nathan

Length and Area

Kindy have been comparing the length and area of different objects. Today, they compared the length of their pencil with the length of other things in the room. Here, the children are sharing their findings.

PM eCollection Video

Hi Parents,

With the release of the PM eCollection to all of our students, I thought that having a quick look at this video will assist you and your child in understanding both how the app works, as well as the amazing features within.
Enjoy!

Area

Kindy have been comparing the area of different surfaces. Today, we compared the area of leaves with our partners.

Number after...

Kindy have enjoyed trying to find the next number after a given number. Here, the children are working in pairs. They are taking turns to say a number and have their friend say the number after.

Great work

Kindy have been doing fantastic work during literacy groups!

Grandparents Day

Hi everyone,

Grandparents day is coming up soon and we are hoping that you are able to find a photo or two of your child with their grandparent/s for the day.

Plenty of help

Kindy has been a hive of activity over the past few days, with mums, aunties and other adults coming in to help during literacy time. The children love having big people to work with :)

Literacy Groups

We had lots of helpers in Kindergarten today!

Welcome BBQ

Our welcome BBQ was fantastic. It was great to see so many Kindy families there for the afternoon!

Thank you all for coming along.
