St Mary's Newsletter

We value others, their property, the environment and ourselves.

We hope you all survived the first week back! The Merredin weather is tricky at the best of times and we have had a week of cool temperatures, but you can never trust the weather!!! So, we will extend the summer uniform another week just to give you flexibility with clothing choices.

Just a reminder that there will be no school tomorrow the 25th of April and Friday the 26th of April due to the ANZAC Day Public Holiday tomorrow and a Professional Development Day for staff on Friday. Enjoy your long weekend and we will see you all back at school on Monday. 

A reminder that the parish have their Bingo night next Tuesday the 30th of  April. Tickets are still available for a good night’s entertainment.

Next Thursday the  2nd of May the Kindy - Year 6 children will be attending Cummins Theatre for ‘The Magic Weedy Seadragon’ stage show.

A reminder that our amazing P&F have a raffle that will be sold AND drawn during a 24 hour period and that will happen (the ticket will be drawn) after Mass at the Mothers’ Day Morning Tea, on Friday the 10th of May

God Bless.

Mr H.

In Kindy this term we have been investigating seeds and plants.  We have read stories about what a seed needs to grow and have used magnifying glasses to look closely at seeds in foods that come in different shapes and sizes.

We have also used the magnifying glasses to look at the parts of a flower and spotted the seed buds inside.  The children experimented with paint and crayons to recreate what they could see.

We hope to grow some seeds in our Kindy garden this term.  We will follow simple steps to take care of them and watch closely as they grow.
