25.01.2022 INTERNATIONAL MUD DAY WAS AWESOME! Our students had a marvellously muddy time outside in the sunshine celebrating International Mud Day.

23.01.2022 IMMANUEL'S BIG BREAKFAST VIRTUAL COMMUNITY EVENT We have really missed being able to meet as a whole school community this term and we look forward to everything getting back to normal soon. In the meantime, we were so excited to surprise our families with a special bag of breakfast goodies, just in time for the holiday break. It's our way of saying thank you to our families for continuing to be so understanding, encouraging and supportive, especially in these challenging times.

23.01.2022 AUTHOR VISITS DELIGHT STUDENTS! What a privilege is was for Immanuel Primary School to host authors Jacqueline Harvey and Andrew McDonough for a day. Andrew McDonough shared an engaging and meaningful message during Worship and led workshops teaching students about how he writes and illustrates his books for students from ELC to Year 2. Your children might have shared their pictures with you. Jacqueline Harvey spoke passionately to students from Year 3 to 6 about what motivates and inspires her to write. She also led a writing workshop for a small group of students taking them through some quick strategies to make their writing stronger and more interesting. It was amazing to meet and learn from such talented storytellers!

22.01.2022 REIMAGINED GRANDPARENTS AND SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY Our music concert is always a highlight on Grandparents and Special Friends Day. As it was celebrated virtually this year, we were excited to pre-record the songs to be shared with our loved ones. Here is one of the beautiful songs performed by the choirs.

21.01.2022 YEAR 6 SCIENTISTS The Year 6 students went to Immanuel College, to visit one of the science labs to learn more about chemistry. They were involved in a series of experiments to explore changes in state of matter, chemical and physical changes, thermal energy and particles in matter. They showed curiosity about their world and made excellent observations. Thank you to Immanuel College once again for being so welcoming. We had a wonderful day of learning.

19.01.2022 YEAR 5 STUDENT LED CONFERENCE A wonderful morning for our Year 5 students to celebrate their learning journey with their parents and a great way to end the term.

19.01.2022 YEAR 2 MASTER CHEFS A group of Year 2 students participated in Master Chef - a fun afternoon of cooking with Immanuel Year 12 Child Studies students. When they arrived, the students were greeted by their friendly guides who assisted our Year 2s to make a wide range of delicious sweet and savoury foods and drinks which they then enjoyed tasting. It was an exciting and interactive learning experience for all involved.

19.01.2022 HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY IMMANUEL PRIMARY SCHOOL At Worship today we celebrated the schools 50th Anniversary. Our Year 6 leaders shared the early history of the school and the many changes that have occurred over the years. Each student and staff member received a commemorative 50th badge. We hope these will be keepsakes as a reminder that they are a part of Immanuel and Immanuel is a part of them. A highlight was singing Happy Birthday to Immanuel as a big birthday cake was brought out. The fun continued during the day, when the staff surprised the students by wearing crazy wigs. A fantastic day of happiness and celebration.

17.01.2022 YEAR 6 PYP EXHIBITION Congratulations to our inspirational Year 6s for sharing their learning and growth at the Immanuel PYP Exhibition! Over the last few months we have watched them learn, face challenges, develop new skills, collaborate, be courageous, motivate others and take action. Our Year 6s have created awareness, helped others find joy, and made a difference to countless lives and our environment. They have changed the way people think, the way they feel, the things they say and do. They have planted seeds in people in the hope that one day they will choose to take action too. We are all very proud of their outstanding growth!

All students showed confidence as they introduced and performed well prepared pieces with enthusiasm, energy and courage. A big thank you to Peter Habib, Cathy Travaglione and all of our very talented instrumental teachers for the preparation and time that went into such a significant event.

08.01.2022 GARDENING IS GREAT! Our Reception students followed their passions during their 'Who We Are' unit of inquiry. The keen 'Plant Scientastics' group inquired into how to grow vegetables and flowers. They were excited to harvest two crops. The students used one crop to make sandwiches for themselves, and created salad bags to sell with the other crop, raising a fantastic $70 for Childhood Cancer Association.

The students were on the hunt for various items which are produced locally, nationally and globally.

An exciting day of learning for everyone.

05.01.2022 ESSENTIAL WORKERS ARE A BLESSING!

As South Australia faces its latest challenge, we felt it timely to share this message of thanks again.

04.01.2022 A POWERFUL WORSHIP! As part of our Term 4 Spiritual Life focus, our students have been learning about connecting to God’s Word through scripture.

Blessed by beautiful weather, the Year 2 classes also enjoyed their recess and lunch breaks eating and playing together in the sunshine.

01.01.2022 LEARNING IN THE BOTANIC GARDENS Our Year 3 students spent the day exploring the indigenous flora in the Botanic Gardens.
