Year 1 Excursion to Penrith Lakes

26 Oct 2016

Lakes 1

Lakes 2

Lakes 3

 

To enhance student learning in Geography this term, Year 1 went to Penrith Lakes. There they were shown wet and dry environments.

This day was a fun filled, hands on experience. Children were able to sort living things into categories, use microscopes to examine their features, dip net and identify things in each environment. After lunch children reflected on their learning and saw a puppet show.

As always Compass Bus Tours supplied a bus with seat belts and Tom the bus driver joined in all the fun and drove safely to the venue and school.

Miss Laura and Mr Tall (teachers at the Lakes) led the students on an enriching learning experience. They commented on our children’s great knowledge about environments and their good behaviour.

The Year 1 Teaching Team acknowledges the expertise of Compass and Penrith Lakes and we thank them for the wonderful learning our students experienced.

Year 4 leaping into Term 3 with energy and excitement! 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️ Our Year 4 students had a fantastic time during their gymnastics session with the amazing Zing instructors! From balancing to jumping and landing, they showed great enthusiasm, teamwork, and growth in confidence. We’re looking forward to seeing their skills develop even more over the coming weeks!

Our incredible Year 5 students are stepping up as tech gurus! 🤩 They've been doing an amazing job helping our Kindergarten buddies learn the ropes with digital technology, especially on their iPads. 📱💻 It's been wonderful to see the older students patiently guiding the Kindy kids on how to log into their PM readers 📚 and navigate other fun literacy games. This cross-grade collaboration is not only building digital skills for our youngest learners but also fostering leadership and responsibility in our Year 5s! 🙌 So much learning, sharing, and fun happening! Keep up the fantastic work, everyone! ✨ #DigitalLiteracy #PeerMentoring #KindyKids #Year5Leaders #SchoolCommunity #LearningIsFun

🌸 Thank You to Our Wonderful Grandparents! 🌸 This morning, we were blessed to welcome so many grandparents into our school for a beautiful Grandparents Day Morning Celebration. Thank you for joining your grandchildren in their classrooms, sharing in their learning, and creating special memories together. It was heartwarming to see the joy on the children’s faces as they showed you their work, read with you, and simply enjoyed your company. A big thank you also for staying to enjoy morning tea with other grandparents—your presence truly made the morning so special. 💛 We are grateful for the love, guidance, and wisdom you bring to our school community. 💐

Touchdown! 🏈 Glorious Day at Jamison Park! What an absolutely brilliant day of touch football we had at Jamison Park! ☀️ Our amazing students shone brightly, with two fantastic stage 3 boys' teams and two super girls' teams showcasing their skills. 🤩 We saw some incredible drives, super touches, and spectacular tries! But even better than the awesome plays was the incredible sportsmanship everyone displayed. Our kids cheered each other on, played fair, and made us all so proud! 🙌 A huge shout-out and thank you to our incredible teachers, parents and volunteers! Your support, from coaching to cheering, truly united us and made this glorious day possible for our touch football stars! ✨ We couldn't do it without you! Well done to all our players!
