“I’ve had the best day!” exclaimed one excited ‘100 year old’ St Michael’s kindy student at 3:10pm on Friday 21 August. And he was not alone - one look at the happy kindy faces said it all!
Our kindy teachers were determined to celebrate this milestone with a memorable event, and what a memorable event it was: A day filled with learning fun!
Kindy teachers and students were almost unrecognisable as they walked, [Correction: ambled, limped, hobbled…!] to class. There the children were engaged in numeracy and literacy activities involving 100. Following recess, further creative and energetic activities involving 100. Mr Buckman lit the BBQ [out of the icy wind!] and cooked over 100 sausages. After lunch, the children participated in additional activities before being photographed in the shape of 100.
Who would believe that 100 could be so exciting?!

🏃♂️✨ A Champion Effort! ✨🏃♂️ Harrison did our school proud as he represented Parramatta at the Regional Athletics Carnival! With his former running guide and mate, Harry (who returned for the event this year despite now attending high school), by his side once again, the duo took to the track like pros 💪 Despite changes in his vision and a new classification this year, Harrison’s determination never wavered. With the track mapped out in his mind and confidence in his stride, he sprinted his way to an incredible 2nd place finish 🥈 Next stop… PSSA! ❤️ We are so proud of Harrison—his resilience, grit and glowing smile inspire us all 🌟👏 #ParramattaPride #PSSAHereWeCome #ChampionSpirit #InclusionMatters #NeverGiveUp #ResilientRunner #SchoolPride #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills![563943395785443_1123382243174886-1]()

💥 A force to be reckoned with! 💥 This term, Year 5 has been studying the Science topic “Forces” 🧲🔬 Over the past few weeks, students have researched and investigated a variety of forces in preparation for a thrilling challenge 💡⚙️ The big question was: “How can we make forces weaker or stronger to accurately land a ping pong ball into a container from a distance of 3 metres using a catapult?” 🏗️🏓 Using only pop sticks, elastic bands and a spoon, students worked collaboratively to design and build their own catapults. Some serious designing, experimenting and adjusting took place before the final models were revealed 🔧📐🧠 At the moment of truth, each group had 3 attempts to test their design. While no group managed a direct hit, a few came incredibly close — and everyone had a blast along the way! 🙌🎯 Lots of fun and lots of learning 💫📚 #Year5Science #HandsOnLearning #ForcesInAction #STEMchallenge #LearningIsFun #FutureEngineers #CatapultChallenge #PrimaryScience #CreativeKids #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills
