20.01.2022 This Term Year 6 has been learning about coding and programming with robotics called Ozobots. Ozobots are part of the Digital Technologies Syllabus for K - 12. Ozobots are robots that code through identifying lines, colours, and codes on both digital surfaces, such as iPads, and physical surfaces, such as paper. Students have been programming their Ozobots to complete different tasks through an app called OzoBlockly editor.

19.01.2022 At HFS being a responsible learner is really important. In PBS4L students worked together to learn how important it is to make sure we are ready to learn daily by being prepared or not giving up too easily. The way we make the best use of our learning time is to come prepared with all of our equipment ready for the day, listening to teachers instructions and being open to learning new things.

19.01.2022 Year 2 made rainbow rice maracas! Firstly we had to transform plain white rice into colourful rice. Then we used the rainbow rice to create our wonderful maracas.

Stay tuned for our procedures so you can try and make your very own maraca at home

12.01.2022 This term, Year 2 were given a task from our librarian Mrs Gordon. She asked us to write persuasive texts because she found that there were not a lot of students at HFS participating in the Premier’s Reading Challenge. Year 2 have written for the students of Holy Family about why their favourite book is the best book to read. ... We have them displayed in our school library, be sure to check them out!

11.01.2022 In Shared Reading Year 2 have been looking at an interview with the Australian author Andy Griffiths. We decided to write our own interview questions to ask the Year 3 students. We wanted to find out about their roles and responsibilities in Year 3 because after Christmas we will be in that class! Today we had a chance to be an interviewer and actually ask the questions we have been writing. Thank you Year 3 for informing us!

08.01.2022 Year Five have been actively involved in reading a variety of books. Today in our library lesson after we read a few picture books students participated in book speed dating. Students had five minutes to read the beginnings of a book before moving on to their next date. By the end of the lesson students were surprised about some of the books they ended up enjoying and couldn’t wait to start borrowing!

02.01.2022 This term in Religious Education Year 5 has been working towards the driving question: How can I use my gifts to flourish and enhance the lives of others? To best answer this question Mr Baker challenged Year Five students to use their gifts to run the Christmas appeal for 2020 at Holy Family. Motivated by this challenge we set out as a class to discover what gifts are present within our classroom under the categories of gifts that use our head, heart and hands. Following th...is we unpacked the Scripture passage John 14:15-31: ‘The Promise of The Holy Spirit’. This Scripture covers the events of Jesus informing the disciples of the Holy Spirit which will be coming to them as a gift from The Father. Whilst unpacking this Scripture passage it allowed us as a class to discuss the Holy Trinity (The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit). With the knowledge of our gifts and using what John 14:15-31 has taught us, we are looking forward to running the Christmas appeal by organising and collecting items for the House of Welcome. Please stay tuned for our social media campaign (Facebook & Skoolbag) and notes that will be going home regarding items to be collected across various grades.

01.01.2022 Year 1 were lucky enough to plant some plants in the raised vegetable garden this week. We are very excited to tend to these gardens and to see all the plants grow! Thank you to Year 6 for designing and setting up this special space that everyone in our school can enjoy.
