Clean Up Australia Day
Last Friday, on the 2nd of March, St Emilie’s participated in ‘Clean up Australia Day.’
The year 2 classes were in charge of the spaces outside our classrooms, the junior playground, the basketball courts and down to the back gate. Here’s some photos of us doing our part to help the environment!
Nature Bugs
This term in Religious Education, we have been wondering at the beauty and variety in Creation.
As a class we had a discussion about the different types of nature, what makes it beautiful, how it is different from man made things, and who we thought created nature.
To celebrate this learning about nature, we decided to go on a nature walk through our lovely bush area, and collect fallen items that we thought were beautiful and unique. We discussed the variety and beauty of these items as a class and we looked at some things we could create with them. We decided to create Nature Bugs, which we will showcase to you on the upcoming Open Night!
Here are some photos of us on our walk and describing our nature to the class:

Habit of Mind – Striving for Accuracy
This week in our Guided Inquiry Unit – Creativity, we learnt about the one of the Habits of Mind called – STRIVING FOR ACCURACY.
One of the activities to enhance this skill involved drawing a picture of a vase of flowers as accurately as possible. After looking carefully and translating our observations as accurately as possible, we used water colours to produce our final product.
We did a great job and will be striving for accuracy in other areas of our learning also!
