Friday 23rd of July

Hello bloggers,

Welcome to Day 3 of home learning, and more importantly… FriYAY! πŸ™‚

Today is going to look a little different for your children as we are going to be experimenting with a few changes to their day. Morning check in will be conducted through a live stream where your child will be able to see and hear your teacher, but will not be able to video or voice record themselves. Children will be able to engage with the conversation via replying to the thread this live feed is on.

Similarly, we will also be finishing our day with a live stream to once again check in and see how their day has gone, especially with the changes made.

For today, students will also not receive their learning in one teams post or email. Mrs Harrison and myself will be posting their learning for children in accordance to the lesson time identify on the daily timetable. This will mean students will need to be using their initiative, and be very vigilant in sticking to the times provided as they would in a normal school day.

All this information will be explained to your child during our Live Morning Teams Check in.

We hope this changes will enhance your child’s learning whilst working at home, and moving forward during this period of time πŸ™‚

Please have a look at today’s timetable below:

OzAsia Festival Art

Hi all,

Today the student participated in an art investigation in preparation for the OzAsia Festival held in the City later on in the year. This learning was led by Miss Hong’s daughter Truc, who is a graphic art designer. The students learnt various techniques in how to create different tie die methods. The techniques used were Kumo and Arashi. The students thoroughly enjoyed their learning in this area, and cannot wait to see what their designs will look like on Monday πŸ™‚

Chemical Changes

This afternoon as a class we explored Chemical Changes.

Chemical changes occur at the atomic level, which means we can’t actually see them happening. However, we can use all of our senses and other scientific meters to detect a chemical reaction as it occurs. There are three main signs to look out for when trying to identify a chemical change. They will not always signify the occurrence of a reaction, but they are often linked with chemical changes.

Children explored composing their own experiment with a method, prediction and then analysing the results.

Together we explored the chemical change of what would happen when we mix vinegar and bi-carb soda.

Students observed the changes that occurred and then recorded this with their peers.

 

What We Do For Others, We Do For Jesus

Good afternoon all,

Today we were lucky enough to come together as a learning community and share in our class Mass, lead by Father Santosh. We had an abundance of incredibly brave readers help lead our Mass, joint with our songs and responses made this a sacred time for us to be in Prayer with God.

Thank you to Mr Urdanoff for helping us organise our class Mass.
