RIO 2016

With the Olympics taking place in Brazil this year, Nathan's mother, Linda, joined the Year 5 students in an immersion activity around the Olympics. Linda's own mother, Heidi Sager, was an Olympian in Rome in 1960. Heidi participated in the sprint canoe event and reached the semi finals. Linda displayed some of the Olympics memorabilia gathered by Heidi. We saw an official Olympic Flag from the Melbourne Games 1956. An official flag with the five rings from the Helsinki Games in 1952. The Torch used to light the flame at the Olympic Village in Heidelberg, Melbourne from the Sydney Games 2000 and so much more. What an experience! Thanks Linda and Nathan!!!

Popular Cars in Year 5

After a whole Year Level session with Mr. Williams and Miss Cardillo on Google Forms, 5-O learned how to create surveys, collate responses and represent information on a graph. This links in with our Mathematics Unit at the moment, Data. How cool is this new tool and skill!!!

As part of our celebrations for the Feast of the Sacred Heart, 5-O students set themselves a class target of raising money for the St.Vincent de Paul Society. Students decided that they would aim to raise between $75 and $81 in order to help those in need. After a fantastic display of empathy and concern for all, from the pupils of 5-O, we raised over $100 for the most needy in our community. WELL DONE TO EVERYONE!!!

CELEBRATING ST. PATRICK'S DAY WITH OUR IRISH TEACHER!!!! MARCH 17TH 2016

March 17th of every year is a National Holiday in Ireland. Irish people celebrate their patron saint, St. Patrick. Patrick brought Christianity to numerous Irish people. A tradition on this day is to wear the colour Green and to display a shamrock. The shamrock is the national emblem of Ireland. It is a three leafed plant, that St.Patrick used to explain the Blessed Trinity to the Irish race.

Do you know of any other National Holidays around the world?

We used the above video as an inspiration for our Narrative Writing. We watched the initial part of the video clip and created, collaboratively, a narrative with a Bold Beginning, a Mighty Middle and an Excellent Ending. 

TRADITIONS

According to an Irish tradition, a Leap Year means women can ask men to marry them on February 29th. Do you know of any traditions in other cultures that happen during a Leap Year?
