On the 24th April, Year 2 were fortunate to have Ms Bonello come and speak to the children about ANZAC Day and the significance of this day.
Ms Bonello spoke about her Hunter's dad's experience in the Navy and showed the children some photos and medals. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.
Hunter’s father is in the Navy and Hunter’s mum came before ANZAC day a 100 years after it happened. I learnt it happened in Gallipoli. I saw some of Todd’s things (Hunter’s dad) like his medals. We also got to see pictures of him and his family.

I learnt about the Navy. The most interesting thing I learnt about is that they have a big ship and there are lots of guns on the ship. Each thing they did, they got a medal. All the people worked very hard. Each time they go somewhere they wear a special hat. They have lots of uniforms and have sailed to lots of countries.

ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Today we celebrate the Feast Day of the Assumption of Our Lady when according to our faith, the Holy Mother, “having completed her course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory”. The Assumption signals the end of Mary’s earthly life and marks her return to heaven to be reunited with Jesus. While the bodies of both Jesus and Mary are now in heaven, there is a difference between the Assumption and the Resurrection. Where Jesus arose from the tomb and ascended into heaven by his own power, Mary’s body was taken up to heaven by the power of her Son. Hail Mary Mother of God. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
