Well done to all my amazing artists. Here is a sample of the fantastic work students are creating at home.  We had begun learning about the art element Space and students created Negative and Positive Space Artworks.  I love seeing the individual creativity students always show in their responses to an art element.  This happens in the art room, the individuality and creativity shown by the students is my favourite thing about being an art teacher.

Here is a selection of some of the artworks done in the last two weeks at home.

Looking forward to being back in the art room with everyone.

Hi everyone,

Here is this week’s Google Meet timetable for whole class sessions.

In addition to whole class Google Meets some students may have smaller group sessions as well and may be asked to use the Google Meet app to enter their session. If you are asked to enter a special code or meeting name you may need to check in your emails for what the code is. This video may assist you with how to use the Google Meet app to do this ……

La bandiera d’Italia: What does the Italian flag look like?

The Italian Flag is a vertical tricolour flag with 3 equally sized bands. It has 3 colours; green (left), white (centre) and red (right). In Italian it is called il tricolore – verde, bianco e rosso. Each colour has its own meaning:

verde – speranza (hope)
bianco – fede (faith)
rosso – carita`(charity)

Your challenge is to create your own Italian flag using objects from around your house. The family with the most creative Italian flag will win a special prize from Signora Formichelli.

 

   This is what the Italian flag looks like.

 

This is an example of some objects that were used from around the house to create the Italian flag.

Once you have created your ‘bandiera’ please email a photo of it to me – jformichelli@htws.catholic.edu.au

I can’t wait to see each families flags!

Buona fortuna! Good luck and have fun creating!!

Ciao Signora Formichelli

This week on the school blog Mrs. Harrison put a great activity involving the students participating in creating a fitness activity on a footpath or a space with concrete or asphalt. This is all part of our focus of keeping active during the month of April even during our COVID19 lockdown.

Here is what some of our families have been doing …..

Please continue to send through your active pictures to Mrs Harrison at sharrison@htws.catholic.edu.au and if you would like me to put this onto the school blog to send it to Mr Mullavey at smullavey@htws.catholic.edu.au. The more photos we can have the better.

Thanks to everyone for your ongoing support.

How to Update your Google Chrome Browser

Hi everyone,

The way our school Google accounts functions is mainly set up from the Holy Trinity Google Admin. Functions such as password resetting, enabling particular apps to work or ensuring that the battery life of the device is maximised by making sure it is only used during school hours are functions that our Google Admin has set up.

Below is a video that you and your children should watch to ensure that everyone knows how to make the Google Chrome properly update itself and take on the functions set up by the school. This is particularly useful for laptops and Chromebooks.

The best way to ensure that your device works to the its full potential is to shut it down each day because by doing this it not only gets to rest but will also update and take on any new settings.

Thanks to Mrs. Wahrenberger for putting this informative video together.

Hi families,

I hope everyone had a restful weekend and are ready for another big week of learning. Hopefully, a couple of these might bring a smile to your face as you prepare for another week of learning from home.

Below this post is each year level’s lesson structure for this week. As you get started for this week ahead please keep in mind to allow time to be active. Below this post is one from Mrs. Harrison about a great little activity you can do with your family when outside enjoying the beautiful autumn sun. Please feel free to share any photos or videos of these activities with Mrs. Harrison at sharrison@htws.catholic.edu.au. I will also put together a photo gallery of some of your activities so if you would like to also share these with me at smullavey@htws.catholic.edu.au I will endeavour to upload these photos onto the school blog.

Thank you and enjoy week two of our home learning program.

Hi everyone,

I hope you’ve been able to make the most of our beautiful Autumn weather this weekend by getting out for a walk, run, scoot, bike ride or just play in the sunshine.

I thought I would share a fun activity you might like to try this week. Please click on the video below to find out what you need to do.

All you need is chalk and a driveway or footpath.

Feel free to send any photos/videos of you being active to me at sharrison@htws.catholic.edu.au. If you also choose to send any of these onto Mr. Mullavey at smullavey@htws.catholic.edu.au he will place the photo on the school blog.

Keep active and enjoy being active.
