25.01.2022 Stage 2 had their RAW Art incursion today. Mrs Delrennie says We created Kookaburra print art. Students created their own leaf stamp for the border. Using a stencil template, they applied paint with a sponge for the kookaburra’s body then used a paint stamping technique to create the branch and feather details. This art complemented our learning in Science and our participation in the Aussie Backyard Bird Count. Great job Year 3 and 4!

20.01.2022 To keep our students safe through Covid, we turned the school bubblers off months ago. The children bring their own bottles from home but, if they forget, the wonderful team at Glenrose Woolworths donated a few slabs of water bottles to keep them going. Thanks Woolies!! CommunityCaring + CovidSafe =

20.01.2022 Kindergarten enjoyed a history lesson thinking about memories. We thought about what memories an egg brings to us. We held a hard-boiled egg and shared our memories. The egg reminded us of Easter and seeing baby chicks hatch. We then acted out our memories.

16.01.2022 To finish Year 3 and 4's Melting and Freezing unit for Science & Technology, students were challenged to use the information they gathered in their investigations for a Chocolate Challenge. They were asked to come up with a creative and interesting chocolate creation that demonstrated their understanding of the melting, freezing and solidifying process. They each put some chocolate in a bag to melt it in the sun and worked with it as it solidified to make their creations. They did a great job! (Unfortunately, they couldn't eat their creations due to Covid restrictions)

Dave talked to us about different plants and how they are used for food and medicine. The teachers tried sarsaparilla leaves which taste sweet and a little like liquorice!

07.01.2022 The chickens in our kindy classroom have finished hatching and we are learning to care for them. We have been learning all about what living things need and how they provide things for us. Chickens can provide eggs for us to eat. Some of our observations and what we’ve learnt: Chickens like to eat all the time Hens lay eggs Chickens are living things and they are a type of bird.

06.01.2022 Our new classmates have arrived! Kindergarten will be able to learn about the life cycle of chickens as they observe eggs hatching in the classroom. The children are also able to hold the chicks too! The chickens have arrived in time for our Orientation session on Wednesday. Fun awaits the newest members of the St Martin's Primary community

06.01.2022 The Athletics Carnival (dubbed the 'Pandemic Games') was held at school this year and the change of venue didn't dampen any spirits with competition and encouragement happening everywhere in equal measure. It was an amazing day and we even had a student break a record set by former St Martin's student and ex-Olympian Matt Shirvington. Australian Olympic Team

06.01.2022 There was great excitement as Kindy watched a chick hatch out of its egg. Some wonderful comments about the process and then an impromptu joining in singing Happy Birthday to the chick. Beautiful chick and gorgeous children.

02.01.2022 Years 3 and 4 have been investigating melting and freezing in Science. We conducted a fair test to see if all liquids freeze at the same rate. We found that water-based liquids froze faster than oil-based liquids...and hand sanitizer doesnt freeze at all!!

02.01.2022 This week our students are enjoying art incursions with RAW Art. This morning it was Kindy and Stage One’s turn to get creative. Mrs Bragge says we were lucky enough to use clay and learn skills to mould and join clay to create chicken sculptures inspired by the chicken hatching program we have in the classroom. It was a lot of fun and great learning. Did you know that to join clay you need to draw crosses on two pieces of clay and use some water to smooth the pieces together?
