YEAR 6 OUTING // Students were taken to new height

YEAR 6 OUTING // Students were taken to new heights at the Treetops Adventure Park for their Year 6 outing. After a quick trip on the bus, we were strapped into harnesses and helmets. We then had a quick tutorial and practice before moving onto the actual course.
Students began their ascent up a rope ladder and then made their way through the rope obstacle course. The course gradually increased in difficulty and there were options along the way for students to hop off if they wanted to. They were challenged, they were thrilled, and they pushed themselves beyond their comfort zone, which was awesome to see! Overall, there were lots of smiles and laughs through the maze of swinging logs, cables and zip-lines.
After a couple of hours on the course, it was time for a pizza lunch in the park, where we were able to swap stories, chill out, and re-fill our tummies. There was also a special surprise of some Krispy Kreme donuts. What a fun day!
Many thanks to Mrs Carroll who delivered the pizzas and some special treats. #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

TRANSITION CLASS // We are thrilled to be able to

TRANSITION CLASS // We are thrilled to be able to welcome our Kindergarten Transition students to join with us for the last 3 weeks of Term 4! Their happy, bright faces show their enthusiasm and delight for learning!
We have been reading books such as "My Zoo" and “Aaarrgghh Spider!'' and looking at words and sentences in our Pre-Lit program.
The students have enjoyed creating, drawing, tracing and painting animals including monkeys and spiders, as well as numbers and letters. These activities work on their fine motor skills, scissor skills and hand eye coordination. (They think they are just having fun and don't recognise they are learning!)
It is great to see them listening intently to their learning activities contrasted with the energy that they have to play with the parachute, balls and hoops.
Our Kindergarten class of 2022 are ready for school and we look forward to seeing them all in their uniforms, with their school bags at the beginning of 2022.

BIOLOGY // In Senior Biology, students investigated further the way in which materials can move into and out of cells. They conducted a practical investigation modelling diffusion and osmosis in cell membranes, using dialysis tubing, a semi-permeable membrane that only allows smaller molecules to pass through. They also conducted a risk assessment and revised scientific skills such as the purpose of a control, validity, accuracy and reliability. #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY // The first project that our Senior industrial technology students have made is a candle holder with routed candle holes and a dark contrasting wood inlay. #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

SCIENCE // Year 1 and 2/3 have been learning about

SCIENCE // Year 1 and 2/3 have been learning about water in science this term. The students have investigated the use of water both at home and at school. We are looking at some parents’ occupations that involve using water. We invited Mr Paul Deller to be interviewed by the students about how he uses and manages water in his job. “Mr Deller visited our class and he told us about his job and how he uses water at work. Mr Deller makes sure the tap is not leaking and the hose doesn’t have holes so water doesn’t squirt everywhere. His workers use water for mixing concrete and they make sure they don’t waste water because water is important. We will not survive without water.
- Mr Deller has to watch that the taps are turned off.
- The builders use an average of 1 bathtub a day.
- Builders can’t build without water.
- The builders use water for laying concrete slabs.
- Mr Deller’s job is hard, sometimes it’s easy.
- He splashes water on his face when it’s a hot day and drinks 2 litres of water.

DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY // This term, the Year 8 stude

DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY // This term, the Year 8 students are studying Engineered Systems. The Engineered Systems context focuses on how force, motion and energy can be used in systems, machines and structures. Students are provided with the opportunity to design and make a hydraulic robotic arm, this is made entirely with cardboard and a couple of syringes. #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

VISUAL ARTS // Year 3/4 have spent some time pract

VISUAL ARTS // Year 3/4 have spent some time practising mindfulness and being creative after returning to school. We created some beautiful water mosaics from crape paper and cellophane, and used watercolour to paint some fluid Koi fish. The results are stunning and look amazing with light filtering through them. They give us something beautiful to look at in our classroom too! #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

HAND WRITING // Kindergarten practised fine motor

HAND WRITING // Kindergarten practised fine motor skills writing ‘tricky’ words in shaving cream. They loved spreading the cream all over the table using paint brushes. The best part about writing letters in shaving cream is how easy it is to “erase” a word in case of a mistake or when it is time to write a new word. #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY // Year 7 have almost finished making pinball machines. They are adding their own personal decoration and colour to each board. #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

BIOLOGY // In the Biology course, Senior students

BIOLOGY // In the Biology course, Senior students have been learning about Cell Structure. Last week, they were modelling the structure and function of a fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. They used various craft materials such as pipe cleaners, pom poms, playdough, cotton buds and coloured paper.
Students were quite creative as they converted the simple 2D sample picture and created various colourful 3D models. This helped them to investigate and visualise the way in which materials can move into and out of cells. #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

GEOGRAPHY // In Year 1 we have been learning about

GEOGRAPHY // In Year 1 we have been learning about one of the coldest places on the earth. It is a continent whose government is shared by many different nations. You've guessed! It's Antarctica. Home to millions of penguins and seals. Holiday destination for migrating whales. We have been finding out about what life is like in Antarctica as well as learning about some of the cool animals that are found there. We had fun zooming to one of the great grandparents of our class, Mr Dennes, who has visited Antarctica. He shared some very nice photos he took of Antarctica and told us some amazing things about the animals and what he did there. We could almost imagine what it was like!
Year 1 has had fun creating some Antarctic animals in art. We cut, pasted and stamped to create whale pictures, then added a bit of glitter for some extra dazzle! We also love the family of penguins that have joined the Year 1 room. #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

BIBLE THEME // We are nearly to the end of another

BIBLE THEME // We are nearly to the end of another year. Our Bible theme this fortnight is Kindness. We can all remember times in our life when others have been kind and caring enough to reach out and help us.
God is the ultimate source of kindness. Psalm 117 tells us that we should “Praise God, for His merciful kindness to us is great.” This is why Paul says that kindness is “a fruit of the spirit”. God’s kindness comes from a desire to bring us into His kingdom when Jesus returns.
The powerful thing about kindness is that we can show it every day. A kind word of thanks, a smile to reassure, or a note sent to someone in need. Never being mean or putting others down – only being “kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, just as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you” (Eph 4v32). #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #secondaryschool #kempscreek

SCIENCE // Kindergarten have been learning about different weather patterns. Last week, we learnt about the colours of the rainbow and made our own rainbows. Some of the children were little professionals as they had completed the experiment during Hinai Hinai Friday’s. We also painted some stormy weather pictures in art. #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

UKELELE // Year 6 have learnt that many many songs

UKELELE // Year 6 have learnt that many many songs contain 4 chords only, with much repetition, which makes playing along on the ukulele fairly easy. They have learnt that different strums can be used through a song to create rhythmic variety. Here they are using the Island Strum. #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

WET WEATHER GAMES // We don’t mind when it rains

WET WEATHER GAMES // We don’t mind when it rains, because we have some great fun games to play in the PAC on wet weather days.
A big thank you to our wonderful P&F group for buying bean bag toss, giant noughts & crosses, jumbo line up four, wooden skittles, giant chess, giant hopscotch, wooden quoits, rolling bowling and a giant floor target. #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

SPORT - NEWCOMBE BALL // Year 5 have been learning

SPORT - NEWCOMBE BALL // Year 5 have been learning how to play Newcombe Ball, a variation of volleyball, with Mrs Wani. The game starts with one player tossing the ball from the back half of their court across the net for an opponent to catch. The opposing team has to catch the ball and keep it off the ground. A maximum of 3 passes can be made between players before the ball is returned across the net. #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

INITIALIT PICNIC
InitiaLit is a literacy program which provides an explicit and effective model for teaching reading, spelling and related skills to children.
We have been following this program every day and have completed the Year 1 stage, so we had a picnic to celebrate. #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek
