Be an Anthropologist!

Today Katrina Logan visited our classroom to help us to get ready for our excursion to Stradbroke Island next week. Katrina has invited everyone to become a member of the Quandamooka Anthropology Club but to do this we have to help solve the puzzles of people past and present and to make meaning of history.

Moreton Bay

We have been learning about Moreton Bay in Geography and History. Did you know that the aboriginal name for Moreton Bay is Quandamooka and there are 360 islands in total in the Bay. The islands closest to our school are St Helena Island and Green Island. We can see them both from our school!

Athletics Carnival

Today SJV participated in the school Athletics Carnival. It was very windy and cold but we all ran fast, jumped high and caught the ball in our ball games.

Father Frank visits

Father Frank accepted our invitation to visit our classroom to help us answer some questions we had about Saint John Mary Vianney. In our Religion lessons we have been learning about our Parish and the saint that gives us our school name. Father Frank was an expert about Saint John Vianney and we learnt some wonderful new facts about this very special and kind man.

The Rainbow Fish

As part of  the Friends program we have listened to the story of the Rainbow Fish. The Rainbow Fish was the most beautiful fish in the ocean with gorgeous shiny scales but he had no friends. He discovers that by giving away his precious scales to other fish he begins to feel wonderful. After listening to the story we painted our very own Rainbow Fish and gave away scales to friends in our class.
