Keeping Safe – Cyber Safety
As part of our Keeping Safe unit, we have been learning about cyber safety and how to stay safe online.
We know that the internet can be a helpful and useful tool and it can be lots of fun too! It is important to understand how to use the internet and online tools safely.
We engaged in many interesting discussions about online safety and learnt about the ‘Click clever, Click safe’ campaign which gives us three helpful tips for being safe online:
- ZIP IT – Zip it means to be careful what we say online and never give away any personal or unnecessary information.
- BLOCK IT – Block it means you don’t need to put up with anything that you don’t want to and you can always block or move away from your device if someone is being unkind.
- FLAG IT – Flag it means if you experience something unsafe, tell a trusted adult straight away.
We then created posters with helpful tips that we know and have learnt about online safety.

Investigating crunchy crisp apples with Year 3.
Last week it was National Science Week with the theme of Food Different by Design. Each class has been focusing on learning and investigating different everyday foods. The Year 3 students investigated apples.
We commenced the lesson by learning about the story of the Little Red House.
Then each team of students were given an apple to investigate.
The students had many interesting words to describe their Pink Lady apples. From all accounts the apples were the best that they had ever tasted! Thanks to Gilberts in Southlands Shopping Centre!

A Shelter For People Who Are Homeless
This week was National Homelessness Week (1-7 August) . This is an annual campaign coordinated by Homelessness Australia and seeks to raise awareness around people experiencing homelessness – the issues they face, and the action needed to achieve long-lasting solutions, including increasing the supply of housing and services.
In year Three we looked at this growing problem and some of the ways that we can help people in need. Next we worked in pairs to design a shelter that could accomodate someone who needs a home. We chose from three different places, a jungle, a desert and the mountains. The students drafted a short plan and then began their final pictures including labels to show what they created. The students came up with some very creative ideas such as creating a home underground to protect people from the elements and a fish pond so that they would have food. We are still completing these wonderful pieces of work but we look forward to some completed samples of work to place on display.
2021 House Cross Country
St Emilie’s Cross Country will be held tomorrow, Friday 23rd July 2021.
We ask that all children in Year 3 to 6 wear their House Top (Mazenod/Gannon/De Vialar/MacKillop) to school tomorrow.
We hope to begin the first race at 9:15am and finish by 10:30am. The estimated event times are as follows:
9:15am – Year 3
9:30am – Year 4
9:50am – Year 5
10:10am – Year 6
With a forecast of light showers tomorrow, we will be bringing each year group out for their race. They will return to their class at the conclusion of their race.
We strongly advise that children bring a change of clothes (Yellow Sport Shirt & Shorts) and a towel tomorrow just in case it is raining during their race.
CEWA have advised that we please maintain 1.5m social distancing whether possible, your support and cooperation is appreciated.
