RU Ok? This question was brought to the attention of our St Michael’s school community during the week leading to Thursday 10 September. And who brought this to our attention? None other than our Year 6 Student Leaders.
Year 6 Student Leaders collaborated, planned and delivered meaningful points of awareness for all students and staff. Their programme of events began prior to RU Ok? Day. Firstly, student leaders wrote and shared prayers with the school community each morning. Secondly, every child in the school participated in creating a handprint banner to be hung at the school entrance on RU Ok? Day.
On RU Ok? Day, Student Leaders invited staff and students to wear a touch of yellow. As well, they placed yellow fabric on a bench on each playground. The purpose of the yellow benches was to encourage those without a friend to use the bench to meet friends. RU Ok? Day is about encouraging people to ask if they are OK and to make a connection with someone new. “No matter how big or small, everything can make a difference, and be meaningful”, said Lane. Zara added, “You can’t just look at someone’s face, you need to talk to them.” [Year 6 Student Leaders]
At the end of this day, the student leaders hoped that everyone would go home feeling like they belong and have someone to talk to. We want to get the message across that everyone has the right to feel OK.

๐ฅ A force to be reckoned with! ๐ฅ This term, Year 5 has been studying the Science topic โForcesโ ๐งฒ๐ฌ Over the past few weeks, students have researched and investigated a variety of forces in preparation for a thrilling challenge ๐กโ๏ธ The big question was: โHow 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?โ ๐๏ธ๐ 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 ๐ง๐๐ง 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 โ and everyone had a blast along the way! ๐๐ฏ Lots of fun and lots of learning ๐ซ๐ #Year5Science #HandsOnLearning #ForcesInAction #STEMchallenge #LearningIsFun #FutureEngineers #CatapultChallenge #PrimaryScience #CreativeKids #StMichaels #PrimarySchool #BaulkhamHills
