18.01.2022 Class 3 have really enjoyed the first few weeks of the new school year. The boys are quickly becoming great friends and are all encouraging each other every day in each learning activity. We are thoroughly enjoying the weekly music lesson and using a variety of drums to create various rhythms and tempos. Each boy is now being responsible for tallying their own laps in the daily morning fitness program and the sprint races on the grass are lots of fun. The weekly food technol...ogy lesson has also been very popular and all the boys are learning read and to follow the visual recipe well. Last week we also celebrated the 40th birthday of our wonderful class SLSO - Mandy. She had a great day celebrating her special day with us all. The staff also spoilt her with a lovely morning tea, cake and gift. See more

Today the boys - Micheal, Ben, Chase and Namir made "Balloon Powered Rockets". Everyone made excellent attempts to blow up their own balloons, attach them to a straw on a string line and were very excited to see them blast off successfully across the room. This great experiment which focuses on Newton's Law of Motion can be found on youtube at sciencefun.org It is great fun learning in Class 3 at Newcastle Middle School!

16.01.2022 Some of our Year 8 students were lucky enough to attend Sailability this morning in Belmont. A small amount of wind and rain couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces.

Well done boys on a creating a great project!

08.01.2022 Class 1 have had a busy and fun week with lots of activities celebrating Australian Aboriginal culture. In class we listened to stories about the meaning behind "Sorry Day" and the importance of Reconciliation Week. In Music with teacher Mike, students enjoyed listening to Indigenous music and stories, and using instruments to express emotions and actions depicted in the stories. Kristen taught Classes 1 and 3, Indigenous ball games, which everyone enjoyed. Today, not only di...d Class 1and a friend from Class 3, have fun mimicking the movements of emus and kangaroos with Dance teacher Lisa, but they enjoyed a yarning circle around a campfire with the rest of the school. This great activity was organised by Teacher Jackie. During the week, Class 1 relaxed in a makeshift cubby house in the playground which was made with soccer goals, sport mats and sheets. Lastly, congratulations to Jasmine for achieving her Sandy Star Bronze award. See more

08.01.2022 Not just today, but EVERY day ...

08.01.2022 It has been a busy start to the year in Class 4. Here is some of the fun we have been having!

08.01.2022 Some photos from the festivities of Week 10 at Newcastle Middle School...

07.01.2022 Class 3 have really enjoyed reading the wonderful story resource called "10 Scattered Ants" by Lea Harlow. This is a brillant book which has been recommeded by the New South Wales Aboriginal Education Consultative Group. It is a counting book about many of our native animals and looks at each animal's habitat and how they move. The twist at the end of the story shows the 10 ants scattering quickly so they are not eaten by an Echidna. The 5 boys in class 3 made air dried clay echidnas with match stick spines and they all contributed to assembling a bush scene in which to place the echidnas and ants using a wide variety of natural and collage materials. I am sure you will agree the end result is amazing!

06.01.2022 Just a few more photos from our Athletics Day yesterday. It was great to try out some exciting field events! Shout out to our wonderful volunteer Danielle! Your help in supporting our students yesterday was greatly appreciated!

06.01.2022 "How The Birds Got Their Colours" was the Dreamtime story that Class 4 chose to represent in their Aboriginal task. They made a 3D diorama representing the story and included a paper mache bird with "Colour splashed out all over..."

02.01.2022 This week was Ausgrid Electrical Safety Week (7th -11th September) and Newcastle Middle School participated in this state wide educational progam to teach our students about electricity and how to be safe around it. Class 3 identified many different appliances that use electricity and all the boys practised plugging them into a power point following the safety rules. They also created beautiful works of art using wax crayons, a hot glue gun and a hair dryer. The melted crayon art looked like colourful fountains, fireworks and rocket ships. Each student was awarded an Electrical Safety Participation Certificate and a student high bounce ball prize for their wonderful engagement in these lessons. Well done Class 3!

01.01.2022 Reconciliation Week continued at Newcastle Middle School on Friday when we all got together as a whole school around a campfire. Students had an opportunity to share stories they had written about themselves as well as reading out their Acknowledgement of Country that they had prepared as a class. We also shared damper and marshmallows over the fire. It was a great day outside together and thanks to Jackie for helping us throughout all the celebrations and learning this week.
