St. Emilie's Catholic Primary School

Learning about Prayer

This term, we have been learning all about Prayer. We have investigated how talking with God can help us develop spiritually. Recently, we looked at St Paul and the letters he wrote to others teaching about Jesus.

Here are some interesting things we discovered:

We know we can talk to God at any time, but we wondered what it might look like if God could talk back …

We are looking forward to wrapping up our RE unit by creating our own Prayer Booklets which we can use to talk to God, and to guide us as we grow older.

Fitness in Year Five

Our online learning plans in Year Five are jam packed, but before we can make a start on them, we need to make sure we prepare our bodies and minds each day.

So far this term, for morning fitness activities, we have taken part in Just Dance classes, Online Fitness workouts, PE with Joe videos and Yoga sessions. Today we also had the chance to join in with other schools in WA in a live stream of our fitness program, 15 a day!

Our sessions have got the heart racing, and the sweat dripping, because we all know, to have a fit and agile mind, we need to have a fit and agile body!

Year 5 – Fable Writing

In English, we have been writing our own fables. A fable is a short story usually featuring animals, where the characters learn a lesson throughout the adventure. Students created a storyboard for their fable, then wrote a draft, and then used teacher feedback to create a good copy using the Book Creator App.

Today we had the chance to share our fables with our Year 1 buddies. They loved listening to us read our stories and even gave us some feedback for when we write another fable!

On Friday of Week 2, some of our Year 5 students took part in an interschool Numero competition.

Numero is a maths card game that requires players to create number sentences using all four operations, percentages, fractions and decimals! Year 5 have been playing this game all year, and on the last day of Term 3, we took part in a round robin competition to help select our two teams.

This was the first time St Emilie’s has ever competed in such a competition, and both of our teams did a fantastic job. We finished 8th and 11th out of 18 teams! The highlight of the day was our Gold team scoring the 3rd highest score in the SCRAMBLE TEAM TAKE round. I would also like to say a special thank you to the 6 stewards for the day, who helped with the running of the event, and a BRAVO to Holly who filled in for a different school!

We will all be much better for the experience and we can’t wait to improve on our finish next year! Well done guys!

This term, we have been learning all about Sustainability! In our HASS unit, we have looked at natural disasters, climate, endangered animals and investigated the things we can do to help make our planet a better place to live.

Our assembly was based on Endangered Animals. Each student chose a particular animal to research and create an art piece about. We had a great time learning about these beautiful creatures and what we can do to help them, and we hope we can play a small part in keeping them alive!

Here are some photos from the assembly. You can also click on THIS LINK to watch a video of our HISTORY by One Direction REMIX. Enjoy 🙂
