Fr Giovanni Visit
Yesterday, Fr Giovanni came to visit us to see what we were learning about. – Gillian
We talked about our conscience and what we had been up to that day. – Nikhael
Fr Giovanni talked us through some scenarios where we would need to listen to our conscience and we debated them with him. – Adam
We were talking about what we have been looking at in our Religious Education, like how we are about to learn about the lead up to Easter, the Last Supper and the Stations of the Cross. – Zoe & Taylah
We also talked about faith – what faith is and that just because you can’t see something it doesn’t mean it is not real or true. – Azari & Sophie Lagana
We love hearing stories and talking with Fr Giovanni. – Tina

Class Sport in Year Four
On Friday in Year Four we went outside to play class sport. – Ayva
We played the game King Bin Kick-It. – Summer
In this game there are separate teams for bowling/fielding and kicking. – Ignatius
The aim of the game is to get as many runs as you can for your team if you are the kickers. The bowling team tries to bowl the kickers out from their allocated hoops. – Owen
Instead of normal cricket, we kick the ball, which helps us to develop different skills. – Daniel
This is a great game to exercise our whole bodies. – Sajith
We also learn about taking turns and working together as a team. – Mya & Reece

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
In Year Four we have been reading the novel Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume. – Justin
We read a couple of chapters of the book, then, using our iPads and Book Creator, we answer questions about what we have just read. – Nicholas & Grace.
While someone is reading aloud, the teachers ask us some questions about how characters may be feeling and about the choices they make. – Joel
Sometimes the teacher reads and other times the teachers ask us to take turns reading aloud. This helps us to be more confident, it helps us to read loudly and with fluency and expression. – Azari, Ethan, Linisha, Sophie J & Joel
So far in the text, we know that Peter, the main character, has a little brother called Fudge, who is his biggest problem. – Taylah
We have read up to chapter seven and so far we have found the text to be very funny. – Joshua & Eva
We can’t wait to see what happens in the end! – Molly

On Wednesday at 9:00am, we had our Ash Wednesday mass. – Holly
After mass, we talked about the season of Lent and our Lenten Promises. – Sienna
A Lenten Promise is a promise we make for the 40 days of Lent and then hopefully we keep it afterwards. – Jayne
This year, our Lenten Promises were more mature and well thought out because we are older. – Daniel
We thought about what we may need to do more of in our lives or what we might need to change. – Nina
We talked about how we can achieve our Lenten Promises. – Keeley
We are going to display our Lenten Promises in our classroom. – Sophie Lim
At the end of Lent, we will decide if we have achieved our Lenten Promises. – Zoe & Sophia

Year Four Agreements 2018
Yesterday, in Year Four we brainstormed a selection of agreements that we are going to do our best to follow throughout the year. – Daisy, Sophie W, Sajith & Nina.
We based these agreements on the St Emilie’s code of behaviour. – Joshua & Amber.
This surrounds the values of care, courtesy, responsibility and respect. – Jesse.
We have decided to display these agreements on the window in our classroom so that we can be reminded of what we are trying to work towards. – Lila, Gaby M & Jessica.
The good part about having our agreements, is that when you walk around the school, you will see the Year Fours modelling them in what they say and do. – Roman, Sophie J & Michele.
Click the image below to see what we came up with. – Ruby.
