PERCUSSION WORKSHOP // In the percussion workshop

PERCUSSION WORKSHOP // In the percussion workshop last week we learned many things to help us play better in band such as keeping in time, creating more sound, using the correct technique on each instrument and drawing the audience's attention. We went through three pieces, ‘You'll Be in My Heart’ from Tarzan, ‘Les Misérables’ and ‘Last Ride of the Pony Express’. (Year 7 student)
The percussion workshop was a great experience. We learnt about making better sound, keeping the music lively and staying in unison. (Year 7 student)
Last week on Wednesday, Mr David Lockeridge came to our school for a percussion workshop. While he was here, we went through Les Miserables, You'll Be In My Heart, and Last Ride of The Pony Express. He taught us things like more effective ways to hold the claves, how to properly hold a tambourine, how to master our dynamic ranges when playing percussion instruments, and the difference between tone colour and timbre. It was a really informative and fun experience. (Year 9 student) #heritagecollegesydney #kempscreek #percussion

MATHS // Year 1 are enjoying using the new iPads to play maths games. Practising Maths skills through playing a game helps students solidify their understanding of tricky concepts. Students have learnt how to scan a QR code using the camera app on the iPad to take them directly to the game. #heritagecollegesydney #kempscreek #primaryschool

WATER MANAGEMENT - URBAN

Year 8 have been lucky enough to learn about how the Sydney Olympic Park manages their water in and around the park/surrounds by Ranger Zoe.

SCIENCE // In Year 8 Science, students learnt about electrical circuits. They built their own electrical steady hand testing game. The steady hand game
involves trying to get a metal hook rom one side of a wavy wire to the other, without the two touching. The game uses an incomplete electrical circuit, so that when the metal hook touches the metal wire course, the circuit is completed and this triggers a light globe. #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

BSTREETSMART // On Thursday 4 August, the whole year 10 class went to Qudos Bank Arena for the BStreetsmart event. They showed one huge scenario of how all the emergency services came to investigate a car crash. The actors did an amazing job acting out the situation that it felt very realistic and confronting. After the scenario was finished, they presented a range of statistics. One of these statistics was that if you look at your phone for 2 seconds whilst driving, you would have travelled 33 metres blind. The takeaway message we learnt was to be a responsible and respectful road user. (Yr 10 student) #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

SCIENCE // In Year 9 Science, using lemon batteries, students investigated the transformation of chemical energy to electrical energy.
A zinc metal nail and a piece of copper nail were inserted into a lemon (which has electrolytes) and connected by wires. Power generated by reaction of the metals can be used to power a small device such as a light-emitting diode (LED). #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

MOCK JOB INTERVIEWS // Our Year 10 students enjoyed their Mock Job Interviews on Monday 1 August. They wrote a cover letter, created a resume and interviewed for the job that they will be doing during work experience in Week 7. A member of Nikki Heald’s Corporate Training team conducted the interview process. They also received some great tips and advice on how to get their first job.
Interviewers were pleased with our students in the way they presented themselves and prepared for the activity. They also mentioned how well behaved and polite the cohort was. Well done Year 10! #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

MUSIC // Students in 4/5 are learning to play as an ensemble, Year 5 on their Training Band instruments and Year 4 on percussion. Current research from Bigger Better Brains reveals that the brain is doing a great workout when playing an instrument. So good for developing brains! #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

GEOGRAPHY // As part of their studies in Geography

GEOGRAPHY // As part of their studies in Geography, Year 9 and 10 students are required to complete fieldwork. Last week, students worked with AUSECO and investigated two biomes (mangroves and seagrass) in Kurnell. Students measured physical and chemical characteristics of marine and terrestrial environments such as salinity, and discussed the adaptations that plants and animals possess to cope with these conditions to maintain biome productivity. An animal catch was conducted to highlight the aquatic biodiversity of the two biomes. It was a beautiful day out and students were busily working through their booklets. The ranger challenged students to venture into the mangroves for the best experience. It was fantastic to see students who were willing to get ankle deep in the muddy mangroves. #heritagecollegesydney #secondaryschool #kempscreek

FOOD TECHNOLOGY // Last week in 9/10 Elective Food Technology we made Fusion Chicken and Sushi Burritos. This dish is a fusion of Mexican and Japanese flavours. We all described the flavours as fresh, herbal and slightly tangy. It was really delicious and we would definitely make these again.

GINGERBREAD MEN // Kindergarten have been practising telling stories. This week we read ‘The Gingerbread Man’ by Jim
Aylesworth and then made him out of paper to help us retell what happened to him. We made him run, run, run, as fast as he can, but we couldn’t catch him, he’s The Gingerbread Man! #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek

SYDNEY ZOO EXCURSION
Last Thursday, Kindergarten and Year 1 students had great fun exploring Sydney Zoo on their first ever school excursion. Students participated in a workshop learning about Indigenous tools, family groups and learnt a special song about the kookaburra. They then had faces and hands painted by the Aunties. The boys were painted with lines that represented The Dreamtime, the earth and human's place on the earth. They also had some kangaroo and snake tracks painted on their hands. The girls were painted with dots representing the connection to nature and life cycles.
Students got up close and personal with some Australian animals and had a great time looking at sharks, crocodiles, lions, tigers and meerkats. Kindergarten had fun pretending to be meerkats watching out for danger. It was a great day! #heritagecollegesydney #primaryschool #kempscreek
