REC NEWS
From the Classroom Support Teacher
This week St Pat's welcomed (most of) the 2021 Kinder students for their first orientation session. The students got to know one another, read a story, participated in an art lesson and explored the playground. They will be back again to learn more about being a St Pat's Kid next Wednesday. Over the next few weeks we will add individual photos of the 2021 Kinders in our photo frame.
Parents have been welcomed virtually this year however with some easing of the restrictions we will be able to have our new kinder parents come for a socially distanced cuppa and chat for a short time in the hall next week.
Religious Education
This week we celebrated NAIDOC week. On Friday classes gathered for a smoking ceremony and prayer before their tasting session.
Comments from some of the students about the bush food:-
Patience KMc: I liked the crocodile the most. It just tastes like chips.
Tayla 1/2R: I liked the emu and crocodile because it tastes like steak. Steak is my fave.
Mahala 1/2R: I liked it all.
Parvathy 1/2B: I liked the Johnny cakes because it was good.
Vinnie's Christmas Appeal
Next week our Mini Vinnie's members will gather to start promoting our Vinnie's Christmas Appeal. Families will be asked to consider making a small donation towards our Christmas hampers in the coming weeks.
