In Year 5, we have been learning about the story The Thing About Christmas written by Jo Dabrowski, We created our own dioramas based on the story. We chose an important scene and used our creativity to bring it to life. We used lots of different materials, including cardboard, paper, craft materials and other textures to create our settings and characters. We had to carefully plan where everything would go and think about how we could make our dioramas look interesting and connect to the story. It was really fun seeing everyone’s different ideas and how we each represented the story in our own way! We hope you enjoy looking at our Christmas dioramas!

You’ve probably noticed that we’re changing some of the ways we share these stories as we put recent recommendations from the eSafety Commissioner into practice. You will start to see fewer identifiable student images, and more of what happens around them - the work, the creativity, the achievement, the teamwork and the people who make it all happen. It’s a different way of telling the story. But there are still plenty of stories to tell! The safety and wellbeing of our students are always our highest priorities. This approach allows us to continue celebrating the learning, achievements and everyday moments that make our school communities so special, while being thoughtful about how student images are shared online. Our social media may look a little different, but that doesn’t mean you won’t still see some faces from time to time as we work with schools and families to share identifiable images when they help to tell an important part of the story and where permissions have been provided. Our purpose remains the same: sharing the inspiring stories of our 80 school communities across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains.

📚 It’s been a busy week in Year 1! 🐾 Year 1 students have been learning all about informative texts. We read Dingoes by Claire Saxby and used what we learned to plan, draft and publish our own informative paragraphs about dingoes. 🐕 Students included interesting facts and information about this fascinating Australian animal, as well as a picture or labelled diagram to support their writing. ✏️📖

🌬️⚡ Year 6 Science was spinning around this week! 🌪️ As part of our study of renewable energy sources, students got creative as they designed and constructed their very own wind turbines using everyday materials. 🔧♻️ Our challenge was to create a working wind turbine that would spin when a wind source was present! 💨🌀 Through the scientific design and make process, students experimented, problem-solved and discovered that their propellers would only turn effectively when they were slightly slanted and the axle was structurally attached. 🔬💡 It was fantastic to see students design, test, modify and improve their creations! 👏✨ 🌱⚡ Have a look at our amazing designs! 👀🌀
