Yesterday our class and the 3/4 Drama Club got the opportunity to go and see the production ‘All Shook Up’ presented by Avila and Mazenod College. We got to hear some old classics by the King of Rock, Elvis Presley and see the awesome singing and dancing skills by the young actors! We were AMAZED!! Thanks to an ex student who is attending Mazenod for inviting us to your school’s show and fantastic works behind the scenes and with the lighting!!
After seeing this production we felt inspired by what we could do in the future with Drama! What was your favourite part of the show or favourite song?

WE LOVE BOOKS! WE LOVE READING!! WE LOVE PIZZA!!!!

What do you think about the world and justice when you see these videos? How do you feel? Children can be heroes and make a difference too! How would you like to make a difference?

“Just because you find that life’s not fair it
Doesn’t mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Nothing will change

Even if you’re little, you can do a lot, you
Mustn’t let a little thing like, ‘little’ stop you
If you sit around and let them get on top,
You might as well be saying
You think that it’s okay
And that’s not right!
And if not… that’s not right
You need to put it right”

In light of our Inquiry topic ‘Who Lived Here First?’ our class wrote letters to Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull outlining reasons as to why we should change the Australian flag mainly because the flag does not represent all Australians especially the Indigenous Australians. This morning our teacher got to hand deliver our letters! It was a pleasure to meet you Prime Minister Turnbull and we thank you for your time for reading our letters and we await your reply!

After reading a picture fiction entitled Courage To Fly (about a little girl who was scared to try new things, take risks and be out of her comfort zone) we discussed the times we felt afraid to take risks in our own life then we had a mini yoga session and meditation! We felt very relaxed and peaceful afterwards! 🙏

We are learning to draw a kangaroo today because animals are part of a country’s natural fauna and we are learning all about the geography of Australian.
