COMMUNITY NEWS

PLAYING WITH ROBOTS
This week during a Year 1 STEAM lesson, I was humbled by the words of a 6 year old.  During reflection of our lesson, using Blue-bot robots, discussing what worked and what did not, discussing why certain things happened, a little hand went up and the statement of ‘I was so happy playing with the robots’.   

Here I was teaching them coding and the students simply saw it as playing. This statement by a young student fits perfectly with the ideas of inquiry-based learning. Our newsletter this week contains an image by Sylvia Duckworth explaining some inquiry-based learning ideas.
WELCOME BBQ BREAKFAST FOR SACRED HEART FAMILIES
Our school’s Parents and Friends’ Association is having a Welcome BBQ breakfast for all Sacred Heart families on Sunday 15th March, 9am to 10.30am in our MPA.  It is a free breakfast including bacon and egg burgers, sausages, scones, tea, coffee, fruit poppers. There will also be activities for everyone to be involved in and jumping castles. Looking forward to seeing lots of our families in attendance.
