23.01.2022 Ask your child, "What pizza toppings are your favourite?" and have them add it to the family Shopping List. Once the items arrive, pop them on the bench, wash hands and have fun creating yummy pizza together...Please message or email us pictures of your creations.

23.01.2022 Latin teacher, Mrs Gallo is teaching our Year 1 students numbers in Latin. Students applied numeracy skills to their language knowledge to count the fruit eaten by the Bruchus Esuriens (the Hungry caterpillar) and write the numbers in Latin. Optime (excellent!).

22.01.2022 A Year 6 student’s successful attempt at constructing a closed circuit using two cells (forming a battery), wires, magnets and an LED. It looks as though as we continue to learn remotely, electricity is playing its part in more ways than one for our Year 6 students.

22.01.2022 Who said experiencing other countries was off the agenda...

19.01.2022 Can you generate electricity using vinegar? After lots of trial and error our Year 5 students can confirm that YES you can! They lit up an LED light by creating a powered circuit using vinegar, copper wire and galvanised nails.

19.01.2022 Harmony Day 2021

15.01.2022 One student stopped mid-sentence while reading "Bonk at The Barbershop," as it dawned on him he and Bonk, the monster, had a bit in common. Mainly, the same hairstyle. Bonk is a monster who comes up with many ideas to avoid the barbershop, like standing on his head or elastic on the top of the head. Whatever works!

13.01.2022 In Art today, the students were asked to make a lilypad for their beloved. Giving special attention to applying Love to their work. At the end of the class a year 2 student presented this piece to our incredible Art teacher 'this is for you'.

13.01.2022 A weekend family activity - make a ‘lung’.

13.01.2022 At Erasmus, we teach the children what UNITY means. This video shows how the Yeronga South Brisbane AFL women's team understood and cared about the specific communication needs of one of their players. Jamie is deaf so the players decided to learn the club song in AUSLAN and surprise Jamie. If you are looking for wonderful young adult role models watch this.

12.01.2022 You may wonder why teach Philosophy and Sanskrit to children only 5-12 years old. A Year 4 student wrote to a resident of a COVID-19 affected aged care home, The sad and gloomy times - they are not permanent. Endure them bravely. The words come from a Bhagavad Gita Sanskrit passage studied 3 months previously. This demonstrates the words are embedded deep in her heart, and she has drawn on them to meet a very painful real-life situation. This is why Philosophy and Sanskrit.

12.01.2022 'Covid-19 free' that is the GREAT news out of Estia Aged Care in Heidelberg. Congratulations to the staff and thanks to the Erasmus Community for their kind letters of support.

10.01.2022 Recently the students have worked on rhythmic and melodic dictation. They watched Erasmus Music Teacher, Mrs Heyden clap and sing some rhythms and melodies in a video lesson. Students used their knowledge of time names and solfa to write down what they heard. Even our Year 2 students can do this! Here is what the Year 5 and 6 students were asked to decode by listening.

10.01.2022 This list will have your children sorted for the holidays.

09.01.2022 Erasmus Community was set a challenge to Race Across the Country. Every 10 minutes of physical activity counted as one kilometre towards our 14,080 km journey. We limboed, hula hooped, climbed trees, walked, trampolined, skipped, danced...you name it we did it and now it is done. Phew.

08.01.2022 How would you answer this question; "What is this thing called enlightenment?" A Year 6 student answered it this way during Philosophy; "Enlightenment is the growing peace inside you. It is where your heart becomes wiser in decisions. And nothing can destroy it."

07.01.2022 Keep up your mindfulness practices during the school holidays with a soothing sea creatures guided meditation from SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium. Multiple studies, including a 2019 study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, found observing live fish in an aquarium decreases anxiety, enhances relaxation and improves one’s mood.

01.01.2022 Mindful March 'Time to pause, breathe and really take in what's all around us. This month we're encouraging you to take some time to look within. Learning to be more mindful and aware can do wonders for our well-being in all areas of life - like the way we eat, the things we notice or our relationships. It helps us get in tune with our feelings and stops us dwelling on the past or worrying about the future - so we get more out of the day-to-day. It can also help us identify what we're grateful for, which has been proven to help boost your happiness levels!' https://www.actionforhappiness.org/march

01.01.2022 Year 4 have been using open questions to interview an array of different people including Theseus who joined in to give the inside scoop about his triumphant battle with King Minos’ minotaur. Student 1: Why did you decide to slay the minotaur? Theseus: I couldn't stand the thought of any more poor, innocent children being sacrificed by that selfish King Minos. Student 1: What were you thinking when you slayed the deadly beat?... Theseus: Mamamia! I hope this beast gets tired before I do. Student 2: How did you slay the minotaur? Theseus: I used a shield and a sword with a ball of string to find my way out of the labyrinth. Student 3: How did you feel when you were slaying the minotaur? Theseus: Fear, like any man would, but I knew I had justice on my side. Student 4: If your dad was still alive where we would you be now? Theseus: If my dad were still alive he and I would be feasting on olives and fetter (sic) on a island of (sic) the mainland of Greece. Student 4: Why did you leave Ariadne on that island? Theseus: Well to be honest she was starting to irritate me and frankly I had enough. Thank you Theseus for your time, I know it is a valuable thing. And we thank you on behalf of all of the children who will not die at the hand of the minotaur."
