In Year 6 we are learning about measurement, perimeter and area.
Today, we went around the school to measure the perimeter of large areas- the school buildings.
The devices we used were trundle wheels and tape measures. We used metres and centimetres to record our measurements.

📜🏛️ Our Year 3 students stepped back in time on an excursion to Hyde Park Barracks and the Museum of Sydney! They explored early Australian history as part of our Community and Remembrance unit. Students learned about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples before European arrival, the impact of settlement, and life as a convict. From handling real artefacts to role-playing convict labour, it was an unforgettable, hands-on history experience! 👣✨ #HistoryInTheMaking #HydeParkBarracks #MuseumOfSydney #PrimaryExcursion #CommunityAndRemembrance #LearningThroughExperience

❤️🔥 Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus ❤️🔥 Today we celebrate the deep and burning love of Christ for all humanity. Did you know that Jesus first revealed His Sacred a heart to our Patron Saint, St Margaret Mary Alacoque, instructing her to devote the first Friday of every month to His Sacred Heart! ❤️🔥 The first image is a sacred icon of Jesus, His heart glowing with divine light and crowned with thorns. This is known to be an eternal symbol of love, sacrifice, and mercy. The second image is a traditional French devotional image of the Sacred Heart, pierced and surrounded by a crown of thorns, with the words: “Voilà ce Cœur qui a tant aimé les hommes. Il n’est qu’amour et miséricorde!” (“Behold this Heart which has so loved men. It is nothing but love and mercy!”) May His Sacred Heart draw us closer to compassion, forgiveness, and faith.✝️ #FeastOfTheSacredHeart #SacredHeartOfJesus #CatholicFaith #JesusLovesYou #DivineMercy #HeartOfJesus #CatholicArt #SacredIcon #ViveJesus
