15.01.2022 Yesterday our students showed their appreciation for our hardworking cleaners. The idea of 'Cleaner Appreciation Day' was brought up in our Student Parliament with all members voting in favour of the event. Our Ministers led the organisation and promoted the event, with classes creating posters to say "Thank you" to our cleaning staff. Our students also showed their appreciation by ensuring they cleaned up after themselves. Well done to our Ministers and students on their initiative and THANKS to our wonderful team of cleaners who ensure we have a clean, safe and welcoming environment!

12.01.2022 In Science, KC has been exploring what causes objects to move in different ways. This week, students searched for objects around the classroom that represent the words bounce, slide, roll and spin, and grouped them accordingly. They enjoyed testing out the different objects and discussed why they thought the objects bounced, slid, rolled or spun.

12.01.2022 3/4C are learning about Informative writing this Term. After reading the book Emu by Claire Saxby, the students practised summarising information on their whiteboards. They then used a graphic organiser to categorise their factual information.

11.01.2022 P&C Meeting and Principal Introduction The P&C have organised a short meeting for Wednesday 16 September from 2pm-2.30pm. As we are unable to meet on the school site, we will join each other using Zoom (see instructions at end of newsletter). We will not follow the normal P&C meeting procedures as this is the first meeting of 2020, the P&C is undergoing a rebuilding phase and most activities are on hold due to COVID restrictions. We are looking forward to re-establishing the P&C as an important part of the school community and want to discuss what this might look like in 2021. This will also be an opportunity for me to briefly speak to the community and present my philosophy and plans for Holsworthy PS.

07.01.2022 Ever wondered why your car beeps when it crosses over a lane without indicating? 5/6N have been exploring how light and colour sensors are used in everyday life through robotics. They have been learning to code the Lego EV3 robotics to react to changes in reflected light (like a change from a black road to a white lane marking) and colour. Yesterday they designed a maze to program their robots to drive through by reacting to different colour markers.

07.01.2022 This week 3/4E have been conducting chance experiments using a variety of materials. We have been identifying the possible outcomes in chance experiments, keeping a tally and graphing our results. We have also been discussing the likelihood of everyday events occurring and using the language of chance to order events from least likely to most likely.

02.01.2022 DEBATING NEWS This week The Titans and The Rookies participated in debates via Zoom against other schools. The Rookies debated against Milperra and the topic was All primary school students should have pets. We would like to congratulate all the debaters on this team for an exceptional victory. The Titans debated against Hammondville and their topic was All primary school students should be allowed to have mobile phones. This team debated very well and their powerful and valid rebuttals gave them a boost and enabled them to win this debate. This means that the Rookies still have two debates to go and the Titans have their final one left. We wish them the best of luck on these debates, hopefully earning them a place in the next level of debating.
