All Saints Feast Day 2021

Wishing the SMCM community a blessed All Saints feast day!

On November 1st, we celebrate well known saints, like St Peter and St Mary of the Cross, as well as the saint-like qualities that we demonstrate.

Let us celebrate those people who live or have lived a life which is inspired by the words and actions of Jesus.

Is there someone in your life you consider to be a Saint?

What qualities do they display that are similar to an older Saint?

Take a moment to reflect with your family as you participate in our All Saints Day Liturgy.

Our Natural World – Virtual Incursion tomorrow!

Welcome Back Year Two!

Welcome back Year Two! We have created this short video to help you settle back into the school routines. You will notice lots of similarities to what we have been doing before Remote Learning.

We are so excited to have you back with us tomorrow.

Where’s Mary?

This week, we have a special challenge for the students of SMCM! It starts today!

Can you find all the hidden Mary MacKillop images?

Term 3 Reminders

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Term 3.

Please find attached some general information and the weekly timetable for Term 3.

This week we have also been exploring thin moments. These are times in our life where we experience the presence of God. It could be in the outdoors or life changing moments.

HOME LEARNING: As part of our home learning task this week, can you please bring a photo of where you see God. It could be somewhere in the outdoors, a particular moment in time or a place. You can email the photo to your homegroup teacher by the end of the week.

OLD TECHNOLOGY: We are seeking some old technology which we can use as part of our tinkering station for discovery. This will be great to help students can explore what is inside the technology.

If you have any questions please feel free to email your child’s homegroup teacher.

Thanks

Year 2 Team

-Steph,Vivian, Anna and Michelle

Exploring our culture through food!

This week in Literacy, we are reading ‘Possum Magic’ and talking about food traditional to Australia. 

We continue to focus on traditions in cultures around the world as part of our Inquiry unit, including foods within different cultures. 

This week, we invite you to make one of your family’s traditional dishes. 

You can take a photo or video of the special dish. You might like to record yourself making or sharing this food. We will be sharing these photographs or videos with our homegroup during learning time. You also might like to bring the recipe into school. 

Some questions you might reflect on:

Where does your dish come from?

Why is it special to your family?

When do you eat it? Is there a special celebration when you eat this food?
