STEAM

What a great start to STEAM this year. Our students are extremely talented and I am looking forward to the Art Show in Term 3, so you can see their creative work. 

So far we have been working on line work, in particular Doodles. I have put a display up in and outside the STEAM classroom. So if you are in the school come and have a look at their work. 

The Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 students used different patterns and shapes to create their own design using a sharpie or fine liner. Some students then chose to use the ‘pencil smudging technique’ to colour some or all the spaces in their design.

Art Smocks / Old Shirts 

Could every child bring in an Art Smock or Old shirt to wear in the STEAM room as there will be times when the activities we are doing will be messy and this will allow your child's school uniform to be kept fairly clean. Please label it with their name and class. They will be kept in the STEAM room for easy access when they are needed. Thank you.

Old Newspapers and Magazines

If anyone has any old newspapers or magazines that you are throwing away, could you please bring them to the school as we are always looking for more magazines and papers to use during our learning activities.  Thank you. 

Physical Education

We have had a wonderful start to the year in PE. The weather has been on our side and the rain hasn’t kicked us off the courts yet! 

I have been incredibly impressed by the enthusiasm and sportsmanship shown by our students, well done! 

Students across the year groups have been sharing some of their favourite 

warm-up games with me, and Rock-paper-scissors Battle has emerged as a crowd favourite.

As a new addition to the team at Sacred Heart this year, I have enjoyed getting to know all of the students of our school. I am looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year brings.

Kind regards
