Extra-Curricular Activities

Welcome back to Term 3

All Holy Family children will be involved in a performance titled ‘Kaboom Percussion’ which will involve making and using instruments from our environment.

Classes will also be studying the following topics below with the opportunity for a performance also during this Term. Tone Colour is the sounds of different instruments. Tempo is the speed of the music and Structure is how the music is organized.

  • Kindergarten: ‘If you go into the Bush’ with the topic Tone Colour. 
  • Year 1: ‘3 Little Pigs’ with the topic Tone Colour
  • Year 2: ‘Don Gato’ (the cat) with the topic Tempo.

  • Senior A & B:’Firework’ and Ensemble performance with the topic Structure

Our CAPA group will now be rehearsing every Friday (lunchtime) in Term 3 to avoid clashes with Mondays Band and SRC activities.

CHESS

Learn to be a chess champion! Coaching for students at Holy Family Primary School (Lindfield) is held on Wednesdays from 12:55pm to 1:35pm, starting on 24 July 2024. Learning and playing chess helps children develop their logical thinking and problem- solving skills, improves their concentration and focus, while also being a great source of enjoyment. Activities include group lessons on a demonstration chess board or interactive whiteboard, puzzle solving and fun practice games. Students earn merit awards by making checkmates, or by displaying skills and positive qualities, which all good chess players strive to develop.  Each student in the Chess program will also receive access to Chess Squadhttps://www.chesssquad.com/ which is an online teaching/playing platform. If your child is interested in taking part in the class, please email office.sydneyacademy@gmail.com for an enrolment form.  For all enquiries, please contact Sydney Academy of Chess on (02) 9745 1170.
