On Thursday 21 May 2015, Holy Spirit Primary School celebrated the Feast of Pentecost with a whole school mass.
Pentecost is celebrated on the 50th day after Easter and commemorates the birth of the church when the Holy Spirit came down on the disciples gifting them with courage, power and zeal to spread the Good News that Jesus had risen from the dead and is alive!
Songs, such as “Sing to the Lord with Shouts of Joy” and “Holy Spirit Rock” were performed during the mass by the school choir and coupled with the participation of those assembled further added to the celebration of the school and parish feast day.
The whole school community participated in this prayerful celebration led by Father Jepser, with many students taking part in readings, the Gospel and Offertory processions and concluding with a liturgical movement focusing symbolically on the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit Parish will celebrate the Feast of Pentecost on the weekend of 23rd & 24th May 2015 at Holy Spirit Church.

๐ Year 6 Formation Day โ A Journey of Hope and Light ๐ Today our Year 6 students took part in a reflective and meaningful Formation Day as they prepare to graduate from Holy Spirit and step confidently into their high school journey. The day was filled with prayer, reflection, creativity and connection, led by our parish priests, REC and Y6 teaching team. Students participated in our parish Mass, walked the Labyrinth as a quiet practice of releasing worries and receiving Godโs peace, and explored Scripture with the message โYou are the light of the worldโ (Matthew 5:14โ16). They also used Biblical Micrography to reflect on how they can shine their gifts generously for others,. We are incredibly proud of the maturity, reverence and honesty shown throughout the day. May our Year 6 students continue to walk forward with courage, gratitude and hope. โจ๐

๐ Under the Sea Adventure in the Imaginarium! ๐ This week, kindy students took a very dramatic trip in our class Imaginarium! ๐ We climbed aboard a pretend submarine, suited up in tight wet suits and big flippers, and plunged into the deep blue ocean for a scuba diving adventure! ๐โโ๏ธ We met some amazing creatures down thereโeven running into a slippery sea snake and a massive shark (which we scared off by becoming sharks ourselves!). We ended the trip watching a graceful whale before swimming back to class. It was a fantastic lesson filled with imagination, drama, and lots of movement! Ask your child what their favourite part of the ocean adventure was! ๐ (#PrimaryDrama #Imaginarium #OceanAdventure #CreativeLearning #NSWPrimary)

Students have been using directions to create a range of tracks for the Bee-Bot. They then developed a navigational algorithm by applying mathematical knowledge of grid coordinates and precise movements (distance and direction). The final goal was to test and refine their code and course design, ensuring the robot successfully completed the programmed route and measured the distance traveled.

Putting the 'Heft' into Hefty Learning! ๐ช๐ Year 2 is mastering the concept of mass! We started with the simple, sensory skill of heftingโusing our sense of feel to compare objects and estimate which is heavier. Then, we moved on to the precision of scales to get exact measurements. We are learning that sometimes, things aren't always what they feel like! Which do you think is a heavier: an apple or a tennis ball? Let our Year 2 experts know! #Year2Learning #HandsOnMaths #ComparingMasses

Our littlest learners in Kindergarten have been working incredibly hard this week! We've been practicing our letter writing skills and, most importantly, learning how to use those handy little words called conjunctions! Conjunctions help us to join our ideas, making our sentences longer and more descriptive. The Kindy students wrote beautiful, thoughtful letters to our Principal, Mrs Garzaniti, all about our school experiences.
