Year 1 picture book party
Over the last few weeks, each year 1 class has come to the library for a picture book party.
The children enjoyed the story 'Feathers for Phoebe'.
After the story, the children danced the chicken dance and then made their own feather headband.
No party would be complete without some cake, so each child received a cupcake.
It was great that so many parents could join the fun!

🎭 Year 5 Drama in Religion Our Year 5 students brought our Religion inquiry to life by creating powerful freeze frames to explore the concepts of suffering and hope. Working in groups, they used body position, facial expression, levels, and space to dynamically represent their assigned words through dramatic poses. Students drew on real-life experiences to thoughtfully connect their ideas to the meaning of suffering and hope. Their creativity, teamwork, and confidence as actors and speakers were truly exceptional. We are so proud of the depth of thinking and imagination they showed in this learning experience! Check out the montage of photos showcasing their: amazing & dramatic, team freeze-frames. ✨

😍 Year 1 Time Travel Through Communication! 🤓 📰 On Monday, our Year 1 students stepped back in time during a special walk through the St Andrew’s Communication Museum. They explored a fascinating range of communication devices from different eras and discovered how people shared messages long before smartphones existed. Inspired by their museum visit, students will now use their observations and ideas to write an imaginative story about discovering a communication device. We can’t wait to read the creative adventures they come up with! ✨📜

Celebrating the things that make us who we are at St Andrew's ⭐️ Our Year 6 students have been diving deep into what makes them unique during Visual Arts. For the past few weeks, they’ve been working on their "Two Sides of Me" portraits, a creative project where one half of the canvas is a realistic self-portrait and the other is a vibrant map of their personality, hobbies, and dreams. This connects closely with our unit in Religion, where we've been exploring the Book of Genesis, teaching us that we are made in the image and likeness of God. We've loved learning about the individual traits, strengths and passions of our leaders 🖐️🎨 Check out some of their work here!

Our 3D Print Club is always looking for something to CAD design so they can showcase their creativity and solve problems. A few weeks ago ten students designed mini awards to be handed out along with the ‘Class of the Week’ trophies, so each class has something to keep. Take a look at what Annabelle, Aya, Ava and Corey collaboratively designed for the Term 1 awards using Tinkercad!

Our week of 60th celebrations continued today with a Fun Day for our beautiful students that brought smiles, laughter, and plenty of excitement! Even with the warm weather, everyone had a great day celebrating our amazing school 🤩 From the monster inflatable obstacle course to a range of fun and engaging games, there was no shortage of energy or teamwork on display 🙌 Even the teachers got in on the action and braved the heat to race around the inflatable obstacle course! 🥳 And of course, the well‑earned iceblock treat at the end of the Zing Active session was the perfect way to cool down and celebrate a fantastic day together. What a joyful way to honour 60 years of community, spirit, and learning at St Andrew’s! 💙💛
