St Francis Xavier’s Primary School
Wii Gaay Learning Hub
Last week, Hunter Lubke-Wood, accompanied by Miss Maddy, embarked on an exciting five-day cultural learning experience at the Wii Gaay Learning Hub held in Tuggerah Lakes.
Throughout the week, the attendees participated in a range of enriching activities, including an On Country experience visiting Bulgandry Rock Art Site, and Somersby Falls, strengthening their cultural knowledge and connection to Country.
Students also participated in the Illustrators in Residence program, where they are working collaboratively to illustrate and curate a book for 50 Pages of Deadly, celebrating Aboriginal culture, creativity and storytelling.
The week included a range of engaging activities, cultural yarning circles and opportunities to build friendships, confidence and cultural pride.
World Teachers' Day
Last Friday, we celebrated World Teachers’ Day with a delicious morning tea in the staffroom, thanking our wonderful teachers for their dedication to education and the inspiration they share with our students every day.
Year 3 - Mathematics
This term in Mathematics, Year 3 students are learning to estimate and measure length using metres and centimetres. In class, they created their own metre long measuring tape and used it to measure items in the classroom. They also used a trundle wheel to explore larger measurements and were amazed at the length and height of some prehistoric dinosaurs!
Assembly Accompaniment
At our Kindergarten Transition Graduation last week, a flute ensemble from our school band accompanied the school in singing Advance Australia Fair.
Kindergarten - Literacy
On Friday, Kindergarten turned learning into a delicious, hands-on activity! As part of their unit on procedural writing, the students put on their chef hats to follow a step-by-step recipe for traditional fairy bread. Throughout the week, the young writers practised using key action verbs like spread, sprinkle, place, and cut. This engaging activity brought their classroom learning to life by connecting their written vocabulary directly to a fun, real-world task.
