3KR/3DR Excursion to the Australian Museum
On Monday 3KR and 3DR went on their excursion to the Australian Museum. The bus left at 8:15 am we were all so excited. When we got there we had recess at Hyde Park. Finally it was time to head to the Australian Museum. First we put our bags in a trolley then a staff member called Rene told us the rules.
We split up into our groups, and walked to the first gallery, which was an animal gallery called Wild Planet. We saw lots of different animals like giraffes and insects. Next we saw the mineral gallery. It was all about different stones that came out of the Earth. We saw lots of other galleries filled with dinosaurs and Aboriginal culture.
Before lunch we went to a kids section where we met Rene again. She told us more about Aboriginals. Then we got to paint our own boomerangs (while the parents had coffee).
While we waited for the boomerangs to dry we ate lunch inside because it was raining. When the bus arrived we had to rush in so we didn’t get wet. It was a long drive home but we got to school on time.
We had a great time!!

World Teachers' Day celebrations today at Our Lady Queen of Peace! ๐ซ๐๐โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐ A busy and fulfilling day for all as we enjoyed: - a morning gathering for staff - small gifts for each staff member - morning tea organised by the P&F - afternoon assembly and prayer led by Kindy. Perhaps the most surprising and entertaining part of the day though, included staff participation in the 'Have you got an apple?' game. We are sure the children can update you on the game rules as they watched their teachers play. Some tactical, creative and fierce competition was on show to secure the winning prizes! Congratulations to the following staff members who won the game (with or without bribery!) ๐ Miss Stevens ๐ Miss Cleur ๐ Miss Raffoul ๐ Mr Aboufarah ๐ Mrs Elias ๐ Mrs Buhagiar ๐ Miss Chahin ๐ Mr McElhone (unable to claim his prize so this was handed over to the most enthusiastic participant of the day, Mr Vicic). Thank you again to our P&F for generously organising the morning tea for staff and acknowledging the great work our staff do each day. It is a privilege to work in partnership with you, guiding, leading and teaching the children of OLQP. And to our teachers- Keep shining bright โ๏ธ โจ๏ธ ๐

Yesterday, our students had the wonderful opportunity to experience the Musica Viva Concert, El Camino. The performance introduced students to the vibrant sounds, rhythms and traditions of South American music. They thoroughly enjoyed listening, participating and sharing in this engaging musical experience. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore music from another part of the world, broaden their cultural understanding and celebrate the joy of music together.
