🏉5/6 Girls Footy 🏉
🏉 On Thursday 23 May a team of 5/6 girls were chosen to represent HT at footy 🏉 at Kings Park. Some of the schools we played against included Bayswater West, Kent Park, Karoo and the Basin.
It was a very fun experience to play against other girls and we all learnt lots of new skills. Overall, we won 4 out of 6 games with most games being quite close.
Here is a few photos from the day ….
Digitech – Pivot Projects🐴🦈
This term in Digitech the students have been learning to how to use the Pivot program to create different types of animations. Pivot is an animation program on the tech lab computers where the students learn to move a stickman (or other figures) in a series of freeze frames. Once you combine all these frames together and push play this creates an animation.
The Preps have been learning to pass a ball between two characters, the 1/2’s are creating an animation about what the start of the day looks like in their classroom and the 3/4’s are creating an animation about an atheltics event.
Here are some pics of the different animations created throughout the school ….
These are the 3/4 animations …..
Here are the 1/2 animations ….
Here are two of the Prep animations ….
Overall, it appears like everyone is learning lots of new animation skills and we are excited to see how their animations turn out.
3/4 Animation Club
This year the ICT leaders have started an animation club for students to participate in on Thursday at second break. This term we have been working with the 3/4’s who have been working very hard on their animations using an app called FlipaClip. The students have learnt how to use the app and have created lots of fantastic animations!
This week the students worked on creating different emotions including upset, surprised and joyful. Here is a sneak peek of some of the 3/4’s animations …..
Andrew Chinn Concert
A few weeks ago our school was lucky to have Andrew Chinn join us as part of our celebrations for Holy Trinity Feast Day.
Andrew Chinn worked with each year level practising different religious songs and then in the afternoon the whole school gathered together in the Great Space for a concert. It was cool how almost a quarter of the students performed some kind of role up the front from singing with the chorus into the mic or doing the actions to the songs. Everyone had so much fun at the concert and we are thankful to Mr. Harvie and the school for organising this wonderful experience for the students.
Here is what a handful of our students thoughts about the experience ….
Harry (Prep Y) – I liked singing and doing the actions in the concert.
Leni (Prep B) – I likes singing the songs in the concert and that everyone was sitting together.
Parker (1/2 G) – I really like performing in the concert and doing the actions in the songs.
Marcus (1/2 Y) – I liked doing the actions in the concert and singing the cool songs.
Emilia D (1/2 B) – I liked how the whole school sang together for the concert.
Zara (3/4 Y) – I liked the singomg the rainbow song and learning the different dances.
Caitlin (3/4 B) – I liked performing in the concert and all the singing and dancing that we did.
Ella (3/4 G) – The concert was fun and my favourite was the rainbow song. I also got to call out “By Andrew Chinn” during the concert.
Here are a few pictures from the concert for you to enjoy….
Italian Poetry Competition 🇮🇹
In 5/6 Italian this term we have had a poetry competition. The students have had to learn an Italian poem off by heart and present it to an audience using correct pronunciation, expression and drama skills. The students were all great and it was amazing how well they went! The students with the highest scores will go to the second round of the poetry competition which will be performed in front of the school.
Here are a few photos of the students presenting their poems ….
