Our Year 4 historians officially traded their textbooks for LEGO bricks! To wrap up our deep dive into Mesoamerica, we took on the ultimate engineering challenge: recreating the iconic stepped pyramids of the Maya and Aztecs. It wasn't just about stacking blocks; our students had to think like ancient architects, considering: Symmetry and scale 📐 The significance of the "stepped" design 🪜 How these massive structures served as temples and calendars ☀️ Watching their teamwork and creativity flourish was the highlight of our week. Who knew learning about 1,000-year-old civilizations could be this much fun? Check out some of our mini-masterpieces below! 👇

Year 3 🎭📚 There’s nothing better than seeing stories leap off the page! ✨ Let’s rewind to last term, where our Year 3 students brought A Child of Books to life through Drama Literacy. Using creative tableaux, they showed the contrast between quiet and loud settings through facial expressions and body language—no words needed! A fun and engaging way to build confidence, creativity, and storytelling skills 👏

Who says the Easter fun has to end just because the calendar says it’s over? 🐣🍫 To celebrate the end of the term, our students enjoyed a cracking final reward—an Easter egg hunt filled with excitement, laughter and plenty of teamwork! The playground was buzzing as students searched high and low, determined to find every last treat. And let’s be honest… the chocolate buzz is still very real, with a few goodies probably still hiding in cupboards at home! 😄🍬 The perfect way to finish the term—full of fun, energy and sweet memories to take into the holidays! ✨

🌍 E A R T H • H O U R 🌍 A Call to Care for Our Common Home Tonight, as we switch off our lights for Earth Hour, we are invited to do more than sit in darkness, we are called to shine as stewards of God’s creation. In this special year dedicated to St Francis of Assisi, we remember his deep love for all that God has made. He saw creation not as something to use, but as a gift to cherish, our brothers and sisters in creation: Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Brother Wind, Sister Water. We are reminded through Laudato Si’ that caring for our common home is not optional, it is part of our faith. It is an act of love, justice, and responsibility. 🕯️ So tonight, let Earth Hour be more than a moment, let it be a movement. ✔️ Turn off your lights ✔️ Pause and pray in gratitude for creation ✔️ Commit to one action that protects our planet Because caring for the Earth is caring for each other.Because creation is a reflection of God’s love.Because our faith calls us to act. Let us follow St Francis and be instruments of peace, for the Earth and for all who call it home. 🌿

Year 5 struck gold on their excursion to the Goldfields today! ⛏️✨ Students began their journey as shepherds before stepping into 1851, when the gold rush began. They formed syndicates and worked together to purchase everything they needed to survive on the fields. Some were lucky enough to strike gold and shout “Eureka!” while others experienced the reality of leaving empty-handed. Through hands-on activities, students explored what life was like during the gold rush, building teamwork, resilience and a deeper understanding of Australia’s history. A truly golden learning experience that brought the past to life! 🌟

We also read about Sisilia’s story and walked with empathy as we reflected on her experience. 🌏✨ We are so proud of the way our community lives out compassion and kindness each day.
