ANZAC Day

On Friday the 24th of April St Columbkille’s students attended an ANZAC ceremony to celebrate the 100^th year anniversary, in our school hall. We remembered the ships that carried the brave, and we remembered how brave the soldiers were. Our school choir sang beautifully, and we also had a touching story told from Mrs Patton about her Pa. The ceremony ended with the New Zealand and Australian National anthem.

Slime - Is it a solid or a liquid?

Today in class we carried out a science experiment. The aim of our experiment was to observe if slime was a liquid or a solid.  We used the ingredients cornflower, water and food colouring to make slime. We then combined all the ingredients to observe what happened to the cornflour when we added water. After the experiment, we got into small groups and played with it, this was fun!

Gallipoli

In class today we learnt about Gallipoli. For our Focus On Reading lesson, we viewed a text about the “planning” and the “landing”, leading up to the events that took place. I learnt about some of the events that happened in Gallipoli and how the war began.

Prayer

Today during Religion we lit a candle and prayed for all the poor and the sick. We prayed that they may get better or find some peace in their pain. We said a special prayer for Mrs Simpson and Mr Devlin, and for all the other people in our community who are unwell. I really enjoyed prayer today, as everyone got a chance to share their prayers.

Asian Mask and Easter Raffle

Today Year 6 started painting their masks. We used our pictures that we had drawn to help us create an Asian mask. Everyone painted their masks using different colours and I must say they all look great! We all had fun and it was an opportunity to show each other how talented we all are.  The masks have taken us a few weeks to make because of the layers of papier mache, although I think they have all turn out exceptionally well. Great work Year 6!

At the end of the day we had our whole school Easter raffle. It was exciting watching all the children when the barrel was being spun. Well done to all the winners!
