On 22nd October 2015, Year One visited the Arms Museum at Emu Plains to enrich their learning about life from days gone by.
We thank the volunteers there who allowed our students to play old games, use a push mower, experience school life, churn butter, wash using a board and use dolly pegs. The students also typed on a manual typewriter,spoke on an old phone and so much more.
The weather was kind to us until we had to go to the bus. Then the heavens opened! A special thanks to Ashley, our bus driver from Compass Tours. He drove with great care and carried all the students things back to the bus in the driving rain.
Thanks Ashley.

Students explored coding, robotics, and problem-solving through engaging challenges that encouraged teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they programmed their robots to move, react, and complete tasks. A big thank you to RoboKids for providing such an inspiring STEM experience for our students!

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)

In Health, Year 1 students explored how they could take responsibility for their own health, safety, and wellbeing, as well as that of others. They identified who influenced their decisions and actions to be healthy, safe, and physically active, and recalled people they could contact for support by creating their own personal support network.

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.

๐งฎโจ Exploring Geometry in Year 4! In Mathematics this week, our students took a deep dive into mapping skills. We learnt how to identify and mark locations on maps using grid references, and used directional language to describe routes around Gridville! ๐บ๏ธโก๏ธ To put our skills into action, students even created their own towns by following specific coordinates. Such a fun and hands-on way to build spatial awareness and problem-solving skills! ๐๐

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
