Father's Day Liturgy

On Friday the 1st of September Year 2 are hosting the Father's Day Liturgy.  The liturgy begins are 7.15am in the Church followed by a sausage sizzle just outside of the Church.  The Coffee Van will be available also on the day, but can we please request you do not bring your coffee into the church!

Please join us to help celebrate all the wonderful Dad's in our lives!


This week in 2 Navy:

Workshops
In reading and writing workshops we are focusing on our reading strategies and questioning and inferencing skills. Daily we are completing writing tasks to build our writing stamina with flash writing.  We are following a writing process this term to create a Narrative. Our grammar focus was adjectives. In Maths we are continuing daily number sense, number patterns and our maths inquiry was based on multiplication.

Religion
We are learning about forgiveness.  This week we learnt about the Sacrament of Reconciliation and how we can use this to heal our relationship with God.
