Year 5 has learnt that they will be learning about 'entertainment' this term with the driving question 'How has science influenced entertainment?'
To begin our inquiry Year 5 experienced different ways people are entertained. Students rotated through activities focused on video games, board games, cards, lego, podcasts, music, videos, reading and art.

Transitioning smoothly into ‘big school’: What parents need to know
The first day of Kindergarten! It’s a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting “big school” marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

The Feast of the Holy Family reminds us that every family, despite its imperfections, is called to holiness. By looking to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we can strive to build families rooted in faith, love, and service, becoming a beacon of hope and light in the world.✨ May the Holy Family intercede for us and inspire us to live as true “domestic churches,” bringing Christ’s presence into our homes and communities.🙏

✨ Merry Christmas from the staff of Holy Family East Granville! ✨ As we gathered to create this little snapshot of Christmas joy, our hearts were drawn back to the true meaning of this season, Christ coming to us in love, humility and hope. Just as the Holy Family welcomed Jesus into the world, we too are called to make room in our own hearts for His peace and light. This year, we have laughed, learned, prayed, grown and journeyed together as a community. And in every moment, the big, the small, the messy and the magical, God has been with us. 💛✨ Christmas reminds us that love became present in the simplest of ways: a child, a manger, a promise. May that same love be born again in each of our families this season. From our Holy Family to yours, 🎄❤️ May the joy of Christ fill your homes, may His peace rest in your hearts, and may His hope guide you into the new year. Merry Christmas & God bless! — The Staff of Holy Family East Granville 🙏✨🎁

A special evening to celebrate together as a community. We gathered for a Eucharistic Mass to give thanks for our teachers, families, and the gift of education. Fr Galbert reminded us that we cannot succeed alone, God places many wonderful people in our lives to support us, guide us, and be our champions. “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 A beautiful way to give thanks and look forward with gratitude and hope. ✨🙏
