Our fruit of the Holy Spirit focus this term has been LOVE. We put our poetic skills to the test by using imagery to paint a picture of what love is like, and used our graphic design skills to complete our LOVE TREES. We just LOVE the finished product 🙂
Yesterday, St.Emilie’s took a team of 24 runners to represent the school in the 2022 Inter-School Cross Country Carnival.
Once again, our students excelled across every year group and we were successful in winning our 5th straight carnival.
The overall points are below:
On an individual note, we also had a number of students receive Ribbons for top 4 finish and medals for a top Two finish.
Year 4 Girls – Liana was crowned Champion Girl and Lucy finished in 4th position
Year 5 Boys – Callum finished in 3rd position and Nalo finished 4th
Year 6 Boys – Zane was crowned the Champion Boy, while Tommy was 3rd in an extremely close finish
Year 5 Girls – Charli finished strongly to run into 4th position
Congratulations to all the students who trained hard and brought a great attitude to the event. Our students continually push themselves to be the best they can be.
Thank you to the parents who came along to support us/help pack away and provide a great source of encouragement to our runners.

Recently, we have started looking at information report writing. We’ve been learning about Australian Pioneers and next week we will begin creating dioramas and reports on some of the events that shaped Australia into the country we know today.
Before we start writing this report, we had a go at creating some brand new mythical creatures. Some of us combined some existing ones together, and others made something entirely new. We needed to organise our information under appropriate sub headings, and include facts about our creature.
Creating reports about our mythical creatures
We have also started a new class novel called “Blabbermouth”. It is the story of a mute girl named Rowena, who is starting at a new school. She has some struggles fitting in, so we tried to put ourselves in her shoes and describe a scene from her point of view.
Describing and drawing some of the scenes from our class novel.
During HASS this term, we have been learning about Australian history. We have been investigating some of the most significant events in our history and one of those was the arrival of the First Fleet. We learnt many facts about the First Fleet and we used this information to draw a ship!
We’ve also been reading about the impact the arrival of Europeans had on our indigenous population in our class novel Young Dark Emu. We now know that there were many unfortunate conflicts that occurred because of many of these significant events, but it is especially important that we continue to recognise Aboriginal people as the traditional owners of this land.
In Maths at the moment, we are learning all about angles.
One of our extension tasks included creating our own angles with tape. We categorised them, measured them with our protectors and then added the internal angles of shapes that we had formed. We used our whiteboard tables which we love for hands on tasks like this one.
