Winter School Sports Round Robin (Boys Football)

June 28, 2019 Holy Trinity Administrator Comments 0 Comment

On Wednesday the 26th of June our boys football team went to Lewis Park to participate in Division 1 boys footy competition. The boys were really fired up for our first game against Kent Park Primary. Unfortunately, we got a bit of a smashing in this game but this did not dampen our spirits for our future games. In the next game Holy Trinity played Boronia-K-12. We were tied after the first quarter but slowly Boronia got on top of us and eventually beat us by a couple of goals. In our final game we played our neighbours at St. Judes. St. Judes were in front for the whole game until the last quarter when we caught up but we left our run a bit late and sadly lost by one goal.

Overall we had a lot of fun playing together as a team over the two round robin days. Thanks to Mr.B for being our coach and for our captain and vice captain for leading us. Great stuff boys!

On the 26th of June some 5/6 children from H.T competed in the second day of Winter School Sports (Netball). We had three teams who participated in this day who were the Aqua,Blue and Cyan team. During the day the Aqua team won 2 out of 3 games, whilst the Blue team won 1 game and drew another and our Cyan team won 1 out of 3 games.

Overall, everyone enjoyed participating in these day and they learnt a lot about playing netball together as a team. Thank you to Miss Nevin and Miss Ryan for the time you took to coach us.

Science Expo in 6 Blue

June 27, 2019 Holy Trinity Administrator Comments 0 Comment

Today in 6 Blue the students had an expo that demonstrated our learning in science particularly in the area of energy. Some of the different forms of energy that our class explored included kinetic, potential, solar, wind and hydro energy. Throughout the term our class has researched how energy works and this helped us with the building of our energy models. We were lucky enough to have 3 Yellow come and visit as we displayed our models so that they could test out how they worked.

Here are some photos of our hard working year 6’s and their models…

It has been a very busy term in Italian/Performing Arts lessons! The Preps read a story about Pinocchio and learnt a song and dance. The grade 1/2 students learnt about beat, rhythm and dynamics in music. The grade 3/4 students had lots of fun learning how to play coloured musical tubes called Boomwhackers and the grade 5/6 students were introduced to the ukulele. Check out the photos below:

A sneak peek at the awesome artwork our Art Extension students have been creating. They had to work in pairs to create a four letter word to inspire us at HT. They had to coordinate warm and cool colours and use some interesting paint techniques. They worked really well together inspiring and encouraging each other. 🌟

Italian and Holy Trinity Feast Day

June 14, 2019 Holy Trinity Administrator Comments 1 comment

On Thursday (13th of June), Holy Trinity and St Marys celebrated Trinity Feast Day as well as having Italian Day. At the start of the day we had a parade of our costumes on the basketball court. Lots of students and teachers dressed up in Italian themed clothing. During the day the students coloured in some Italian landmarks as well as learning more about Italian culture. In the mini space students played botchy ball the game is kind of like lawn bowls but for kids. After lunch the whole school gathered in the Community Hall to watch an Italian comedy show. Everyone had a ball!

Overall it was a great day and a big thank you Seniora for organising all the activities.

On Tuesday the 11th of June the 5/6s had winter school sports. I played for the footy team and we played on Lewis Road. The first game we won against St. Bernadettes in tight game where Thomas Anderson kicked the winning goal after the siren. In the second game we played against Boronia K-12 and we lost against them because they were a very good team. In our last game we won against Wattleview which meant that we came second overall in the competition. Overall it was a really fun day and we are looking forward to playing our next round robin in two weeks time.

We want to thank Mr B for coaching us particularly during lunch times.

On Wednesday 15th of May our prep classes were lucky enough to have an incursion as part of their Inquiry topic about Life Cycles. Wildlife Xposure brought along a variety of animals including snakes, crocodiles and birds to teach the students about the wonderful world that we live in. The students got to examine their behaviour and some even go to touch the animals.

Overall the preps had a great time and learnt a lot about animals for their Inquiry topic.

Lego sessions have begun for our Year 4 and 5 students in the MPR (renamed as the STEM Lab). Both year levels are learning about centrifugal and and centripetal forces in machines such as Carousels, Ferris Wheels and Flying Chairs.

On Thursday the 4th of April Holy Trinity gathered together in the Community Space to have a prayer to remember Holy Week and the sacrifice that took place when Jesus gave his life for us. Mr. Harvie talked about what a special time it is in Holy Week and we had readings explaining what happened on each day. As you probably already know Holy Week takes place during the school holidays and is the time leading up to Easter.

Year 6 Genius Hour Projects

April 5, 2019 Holy Trinity Administrator Comments 0 Comment

In the year 6 classes we have been working on our Genius Hour projects. Genius hour is an opportunity for students to learn more about an area of interest to do with the topic we are studying. This term we are learning about the Government and the students came up with some brilliant questions about this topic. Some of the questions included ‘Why do we need a Democracy?’, ‘What would it be like if the whole world used a Communism model?’, ‘Who invented the Commonwealth?’ and ‘Where does the Australian PM live?’. Lots of students came up with different ways to present their learning with some even choosing Scratch (coding) to present their project.

I chose to use Google Slides to present my learning and here is what I came up with.

Persuasive Texts in Year 5

April 4, 2019 Holy Trinity Administrator Comments 0 Comment

In Year 5 we are learning about writing persuasive texts. A Persuasive text is a piece of writing that tries to convince someone to do something that they may not normally do. In my class we try to use the A.F.O.R.E.S.T techniques (alliteration, facts, opinion, rhetorical question, emotive language, statistics and triplets). It is also very important to use lots of exaggeration when writing. We are aiming to engage the reader so they are more interested in what they are reading. Like other pieces of writing it is important to write a draft piece before you write your published piece (good copy).

Here is some examples of a draft and final piece of the persuasive writing from 5 Yellow.
