Holy Trinity Primary, Wantirna South

This morning when we arrived at school, a cheeky elf was in our classroom and made himself at home! His name is Elfie and he left Prep Yellow a big present as a surprise. The children had to write their predictions as to what they thought was in the huge box. Here are their predictions  –

“I predict there is a race car in the box!” – Oliver W

“I predict there is a robot and an elf in the box!” – Evie 

“I predict there is lolly dynamite in the box!” – Oliver 

“I predict that there is a big blow up Santa in the box!” – Patrick 

“I predict that there are presents in the box!” – Madelyn

“I predict that there is a christmas tree in the box!” – Caitlin

“I predict that there is a giant inflatable Santa in the box!” – Haveen 

“I predict that there will be a monster truck in the box!” – Bastian 

“I predict that there is a dog and christmas tree in the box” – Ria 

“I predict that there are decorations in the box!” – Avery 

“I predict that there is an elf racing car in the box!” – Aarjav

“I predict that there is a Santa or a blow up elf in the box!” – Zara Eg

“I predict that there is an ant farm or a guinea pig in the box!” – Zara Ev 

“I predict that there is a barbie doll in the box!” – Angelina 

“I predict that there is Christmas drinking water in the box!” – Phillip

“I predict that there are 2000 lego pieces in the box!” – Hayden 

“I predict that there is a jet or a car in the box! – Moses 

“I predict that there is Darth Vader in the box!” – Remy

“I predict that there are lots of elves in the box!” – Aarav

Inside the present, the cheeky elf had delivered a christmas tree and lots of decorations for our classroom! 

Dear parents 

In light of our school production being cancelled I thought that it would be great if the students could still participate in a performance. This term the students have been working on a christmas performance that will be filmed and streamed to families. Students are encouraged to come to school on their designated filming day dressed up in Christmas colours or costume. Students can either come to school dressed in their chosen outfit or if they prefer they can wear their school uniform and bring their items in a clearly marked bag to change into at their designated class filming time. It would be preferred if students wear school shoes or runners as well. There is no need to buy anything new for the filming – whatever you already have at home is perfectly fine. For example: xmas tshirt, red top, green top, christmas headband, christmas hat etc… Some students have discussed with me that they already have a Christmas costume for example: Christmas onesies, Elf costume, Santa costume, reindeer costume, angel costume etc.. so they are more than welcome to wear these.

Each grade will be assigned a time to be filmed throughout the day. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me via email – jformichelli@htws.catholic.edu.au

Looking forward to showcasing the students Christmas performances!

Well done to these Grade Four artists who have learnt how to complete a few simple sewing stitches to create the sweetest mini wall hangings.
They  learnt some decorative stitches and how to sew a button on.

We are so happy to be in the art room using all the wonderful supplies.

Grade One students had so much fun today using a wonderful new product Paint Sticks. Beautiful, vibrant rainbows. Love, love, love these. Well done little artists.

 

 

The Year Two students have worked hard over the last two weeks to organise the Holy Trinity Christmas Appeal, as part of their RE classes. The appeal will run from Monday 23rd November and finish on Friday 4th December.

All money raised will be used to buy toys for children, special Christmas food and vouchers, which will then be given to Vinnies Scoresby to give to families in our local community who need a little help this Christmas.

Please help us Make Someone Feel Special This Christmas!!!!!!

Welcome to this week’s virtual assembly.

Congratulations to all of our award winners this week, fantastic effort and some great achievements. Keep up the great work girls and boys.

Congratulations also to all the prize winners. Your prizes are in the office for you to collect at the end of assembly. Big thanks to Mrs Whelan for organising all of these great prizes.

Have a safe weekend.

Wishing all the Years 5 and 6 students good luck for a fantastic school camp next week.

Please join in our Remembrance Day Prayer Service led by our Yr 6 Liturgy Leaders.

Remembrance Day reminds us to pray for peace, to think about what we are doing as individuals, as a community and as a country to bring God’s peace into the world.

This is a time when a believing community should once again turn towards prayer and towards ideals Jesus gives us in the Beatitudes.

Special thank you to Mrs Thompson who finishes her pre service teacher placement with us today – we wish you all the very best.

As part of Book Week the students shared their favourite books with their classmates. They have decorated a spoon for spoonville to represent one of their favourite book characters. The Prep children have designed their own original book covers. Classes have listened to some of the shortlisted books and completed some class activities reflecting on the stories.

 

 

Grade 4 students giving a  thumbs up as they enjoy the freedom of abstract art.

They used watercolour paint and once they had completed their work they gave it a title.

I’m looking forward to sharing these.

This morning, Prep Yellow read Magic Beach by Alison Lester. The kids love how Alison used her imagination in the story. The Preps then used their imaginations to create their own magic beach. They are looking forward to writing about their magic beach next too!

Here are some things the Preps said to describe their Magic Beach –

Aarav: “At my Magic Beach I am so happy I am saying YES because I am at the beach! The sun is making all the air hot and is going on the people.”

Haveen: “On the Magic Beach, the people at the beach play with the sandcastles and they imagine there is a dragon and then a knight comes and saves the castle!”

Phillip: “On my Magic Beach there is a purple starfish!”

Remy: “At my Magic Beach there is an asteroid and a kraken, a big octopus. The asteroid hit the kraken so he won’t take over the beach!”

Evie: “On my Magic Beach, Ana and Elsa are going in the dark sea to see the ship!”

Oliver T: “On my Magic Beach there is Koffing, Gyrados and a crazy monster. Gropede is also on my magic beach! Also on my magic beach there is a giant leg which is filled with traps!” 

Zara Eg: “On my Magic Beach there is a little girl named Willow. She swam in the ocean with my dad. On my Magic Beach you can see a rainbow and raindrops and some colourful waves!”

Zara Ev: “On my Magic Beach there is real sand, calm water and really fierce water. There is a really bright sun and an octopus with lots and lots of tentacles. There is also a green jellyfish and a great white shark!”

Patrick:“On my Magic Beach there is the beach, the sky, the sun and the clouds. There is a moon that comes and goes!”

Angelina:“On my Magic Beach there is the sun and the water and some sand. I love swimming at my Magic Beach.”

Ria: “On Sunday I went to my Magic Beach and I saw sparkling water and a bright sun. And I saw squishy land! I also saw fluffy clouds.”

Caitlin: “At my magic beach there’s a superhero. There’s some fish and a shark in the deep, blue water. There is a big castle! There are some shells in the water. There is a girl tasting marshmallows on the bonfire.”

Avery: “On my Magic Beach, there are shells. There are decorations because a mermaid is having a party! There are waves in the sky and there is a purple sea!”

Aarjav: “My Magic Beach has blue water and the sky has blue water too! My neighbours are on the magic beach and going in the cold water!” 

Moses: “On my Magic Beach, a water volcano erupted. Then there was a star on top of my water volcano!”

Bastian: “On my Magic Beach there are golden and silver nets that will catch a shark. There are rainbows on my magic beach too!”

Asha: “On my Magic Beach, I have a pink sun, it’s going down. I have a blue sky and water and my family at the beach.”  

Madelyn: “On my Magic Beach I make sand castles. The sun is very hot so that is why we went to the beach.” 

Phillip: “On my Magic Beach I see a starfish on the beach. And I see a jellyfish. The water is really cold! 

Oliver W: “My Magic Beach is fluffy. It is fluffy treasure! On my Magic Beach there is lava!”

 

Such an exciting week for everyone…students excited about being back with their friends, teachers excited about seeing students face to face…and parents, we could hear some sighs of relief as you drove off on Monday morning.

Well done for a successful first week back.

Congratulations to all of our award winners this week.

Mrs Harrison has put all the results of the first ever Holy Trinity “At Home Olympics” into a slideshow for you to look through and find the results for your year level. Fantastic effort from everyone who participated. A big thank you to Mrs Harrison for putting this idea together and collating all of the results.

Welcome back Prep Yellow. These little people did an amazing job today creating Secondary colours from the Primary colours – red, blue and yellow.
Beautiful rainbow spider webs are the result.

 

 We are so excited to be back in the art room.

The sudents have grown and their confidence in themselves as artists is soaring.

I am so proud of them and so happy to be back.

Fun with watercolour paint

 

Here’s a presentation to remind children of how to stay safe when we return to school next week.

The Year 6 students have been busy writing narratives to share with their Prep buddies. As they haven’t been able to share their narratives with their buddies at school yet, they have sent their buddies a video reading their stories to them.

We are certain their buddies will love their stories.!!!  Please scroll down and view some of the Year 6 students reading their stories.
