Year Five
“So far at at Holy Cross in Year 5, we have been learning about 3D shapes and their features, like edges, corners and their faces. We have have also been learning about South and North America's vegetation, landscape, climate and native animals. Our Big Ideas question is, What impact do we have on earth and beyond? We have also been writing an amazing persuasive text, and we have learned so much in these few weeks. I can't even imagine how many things we can learn in this awesome year!”
“Over the past few weeks we have been given a buddy to work with and play with, to help to make more new friends. All of the buddies have been assigned to be in a group of two or three depending on the amount of students. We have a money reward system so we can save up money for the auction every two weeks, depending on our behaviour. ”
“Lately there has been some constrution going on around the school. As the school gets bigger there becomes more and more classes and places to go. So far they have built a science lab, home economics lab, a cafe, the massive library and many other places. We have this organisation called Mini Vinnies, supporting Project Compassion by running fundraisers though the school and donating the money to people in need.”

Year One
Over the past few weeks, Year One have been been focusing on
skip counting, addition and
2-Dimensional shapes. Through song, the students have learnt
how to count by tens, fives and twos. The Year Ones and Mrs Fretwell worked
collaboratively on 2D shapes, creating them with their bodies, as well as other
pieces of material, such as popsticks, matchsticks and pipe cleaners. The
students found this activity very enjoyable!
