CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

 We Love Catholic Schools
Catholic Schools Week was held from 8 to 14 March. It was a great way to build relationships with the members of our school community. Throughout the week there were many opportunities to visit our school and experience a day in the life of a student at St Paul the Apostle.

In week 7 it is Catholic Schools Week. Parents came in and join in with their children, BACK TO SCHOOL PARENTS! On Monday the parents were invited to watch a lesson of dance fever.
On Wednesday the parents were invited to watch an art lesson with Mrs Sargent and a sports lesson with Mrs Milic. It was a lot of fun!

Its Catholic Schools Week.

Catholic Schools Week is when parents can come in to see their children do their lessons or their sports, music and art lessons.On Monday our  parents came to Dance Fever at the end of our lesson we had  a parent vs kids dance off. At sport we played 'Rock,River,Bridge' and we also played Bullrush. In art we did an artwork on Ken Done. Our parents have had an opportunity to  watch an art lesson and visit us during our Literacy block. We enjoyed sharing our learning with our parents and our art work looked awesome! Thanks Mrs Sargent.

Mr Dib talks to us about Electricty

Year Five got a special visit from Mr Dib an electrician. We learnt where power came from and how power is transmitted. Did you know that when power transmitted it is an electron flow.

Year 5 learned many things that relate to electricity, we also got a sneak peak of some of the machines electricians use. Mr Dib did some experiments that were so fun.
We learnt about alternating and direct currents which is short for AC/DC. you would think that it is extremely hard to explain the way electricity works to Year 5 students but we all understood it clearly.
When Mr Dib came to our classroom he taught us about different types of circuits such as short circuits, long circuits and many more.

Year 5 was very happy when Mr Dib came to the Year 5 classroom to teach us about electricity we learned about AC/DC  and what electricians do.
The experiments were amazing !!!

Mr Dib showed us what not to do, how to create a spark and how light two light bulbs at the same time.
He gave us worksheets that taught us about different circuits.


He did the best experiments ever
Everyone loved it.
We all loved  Mr Dibs projects. They were awesome can't wait for something like this to happen again. It was very fun
Mr Dib had very interesting information about how electricity works.
He did a demonstration with positive and negative wires and what happens if they touch.
Mr Dib showed if the positive wire connects to the wire where the negative is meant to be.

He showed us how to be safe around electricity and taught us about circuit. If some how you break one Christmas light all the rest of the light bulbs will possibly break or go out. He showed us how how to make a circuit and produce light.

Hist By CJ Dennis

The NSW English Syllabus promotes the development of all areas of English. Recently during class time, Year Five have been experimenting with ways to strengthen and refine spoken texts in order to entertain or inspire an audience. On Friday we presented a recital of Hist! by C.J. Dennis.

"HIST....HARK....THE NIGHT IS VERY DARK..."

For the past few weeks, Year 5 have been working extremely hard studying the poem 'Hist' by C.J. Dennis.We have been rehearsing this poem for our assembly this week on Friday 6th March.

The poem is about a few children who wandered through a park at night without any overcoats. Since it is dark, they are frightened by many absurd sounds and their imagination.

The picture book version of 'Hist!'

'HOME AGAIN... HOME AGAIN... HIP....HOORAY!'
