Gymnastics Fever Hits Holy Spirit
This term children from Holy Spirit have been involved in a gymnastics program run by the amazing DanceFever Multisport group, which has been partly subsidised by a Sporting Schools grant received by the school. Sporting Schools brings together schools and sports to help get Aussie children active in their local communities.
Each Tuesday a team of dynamic young trainers bring a wide variety of equipment to our school. They set up in our Cola and MPA and then proceed to run 7 sessions of gymnastics! The children are working on skills of jumping and landing, balance, rotation, locomotion and object manipulation and are absolutely loving the program!

Our Year 1 stars have been leveling up their literacy skills by crafting Super Sentences! To make their writing truly ""super,"" the students are becoming grammar detectives. They are learning how to build strong sentences by identifying the two most important ingredients: The ""Who"" or ""What"": Identifying Nouns and highlighting them in Blue. ๐ต The ""Action"": Identifying Verbs (what they are doing!) and highlighting them in Orange. ๐ By color-coding their work, our young authors are ensuring every sentence tells a complete and exciting story. Check out some of their colorful masterpieces below! #Year1 #SuperSentences #LiteracyLinks #NSWPrimarySchools #GrammarGurus"

In English, year 5 have been learning how to compose persuasive texts. Students are writing texts to try to convince their teachers that 'Students should choose their own seats in class'. ๐ช Some of their reasons include the fact that they will be happier students, they will be more focussed on their learning and it will also teach them responsibility. ๐ They are experimenting with the use of both modal and emotive language in their writing to clearly present their arguments in the hope their teachers will share their opinion. Well done year 5.

Our Year 4 students gently reflected on the beautiful theme of hope as they prayerfully wrote their Lenten promises. Like a butterfly emerging and growing, they considered how small, intentional changes can lead to transformation. With open hearts, they chose meaningful ways to grow closer to God, show kindness to others, and make loving choices each day โ trusting that even small acts can help them blossom into the people God calls them to be.
