Dear Parents and Caregivers, Although schools primarily exist to educate, the process of gaining new skills and knowledge is ironically often the easiest part of a typical day. Sometimes the real challenges for students come in developing and maintaining their relationships. As we all know only too well, some of our longestlasting friendships often start at school – but then again there are moments which really challenge us, as we try to understand others. The teachers and I are so conscious of this here in the Primary School. We understand how easily offence can be caused by a wrongly chosen word or a comment made in frustration. However, the real joy is in seeing how in most situations the students are able to resolve their differences with a bit of guidance and encouragement. The Reddam House Primary School Newsletter
One person has said that “Empathy is the medicine which the world needs.” That couldn’t be truer than right now, as we watch the heart-breaking scenes playing out on our television screens. But how do we help our children to become more empathetic – to “see with the eyes of another, listen with the ears of another, and feel with the heart of another”? The good news is that most human beings are by nature empathetic, with their emotions finely tuned to be aware of the feelings of others. Think of young babies, who will start crying if they hear another baby crying, or of toddlers who are very quick to pick up on the feelings of their friends and family members. While they may not yet fully understand the emotions of others at that stage, they are clearly able to share their emotions.

As children grow older, so conversations can deepen about how to treat others, about how a person’s background might shape their personalities and actions, and about how we might to try to understand others better – to step into their shoes.

One recent article makes an interesting point about empathy, however, and it is worth bearing in mind, especially for those of our children who show strong emotional empathy for others. Their research showed how children who share a strong association with the emotions of others, may well take on too much of an emotional load, as they help to carry the other person’s burdens. Helping our children to show empathy towards others, while at the same time giving them an outlet to share how they themselves feel, is thus a critical part of their journey through deepening relationships. As we walk this journey together, may it be that we all contribute towards the “medicine which the world needs”. Last Friday, four of our very talented AFL players travelled to French's Forest to participate in the CIS AFL Trials. In testing conditions, Joshua Tancred, Jonathon Tancred, Krishna Inder and Tico Malki participated in a range of drills and small-sided games. Over the course of the day the boys had the chance to show their skills and impress the selectors. Congratulations to Joshua Tancred, who has made this team for the second year in a row. He will travel to Coffs Harbour in May to participate in the NSWPSSA AFL Championships. Well done to all of our boys who trialled and did the school so proud. Then, we also heard the exciting news that Anne-Marie Saul recently won the Australian coach-student Ballroom and Latin juvenile championships, at the Australian Dance Sports Championships. This was Annie’s first big competition of the year and it bodes well for the remainder of the year. Congratulations, Annie! This past week, we held a very special Year 6 Leadership Induction assembly, at which we officially heralded the start of the invaluable role which we know our Year 6s will play in the life of the school during 2022. The ceremony served as a reminder that leadership is about setting a positive example, leading from the front and inspiring others to follow. We wish our Year 6s everything of the best as they enthuse the rest of the school, and we trust that they will find the experience uplifting and meaningful. Enjoy your weekend! Dee Pitcairn Principal

KINDERGARTEN This week in Mathematics, Kindergarten was introduced to the topic of addition. They learnt about different words we can use when solving addition problems, including: combine, plus, add and altogether. Students used hands-on materials such as counters and dominoes to combine different collections of objects. We revised counting to 20 and learned the importance of “counting on” to find the sum. In English, students continued to strengthen their phonological awareness by using Elkonin boxes to segment words into individual phonemes. Our focus sounds this week were /ck/, /e/ and /u/. Students were introduced to the orange sight words list and are already recognising these words in their home readers. Kindergarten students are thriving with their knowledge of sounds and sight words and have shown excellent confidence and progression in their reading as they apply what they have already learnt. During our PDH lessons, students explored and learnt about healthy eating. They listed the five food groups and began to understand the importance of eating a variety of foods. Students learnt that people need to eat food to have enough energy each day to complete their daily tasks. We had lots of fun discussing our favourite foods! During our ‘Marvellous Me’ unit of work, students learnt about how humans change and grow. We discussed different stages of growth in life and compared the types of activities people do at different ages.

YEAR 1 In English this week, to build upon our past learning of verbs and nouns, Year 1 was introduced to adjectives. We used them to create a character description of a character from the book “Voices in the Park” by Anthony Browne, as we continued our exploration of his inspiring books. We used this book to also consolidate our growing skills in writing a recount to clearly relate the sequence of events in the story. In Mathematics, we were introduced to formal measurements and the children explored centimetres and metres. We were brave again this week and we estimated measurements before recording the formal measurements of everyday objects such as pencils, water bottles and our desks. We also measured our own hands and ourselves, and compared them with our friends. In History and Geography, we looked at and discussed how games and toys have changed over time. Many children commented on the lack of technology in the past. We used a Venn diagram to sort toys into those of the past and the present. We further explored the activities that children participated in the past, and compared our ideas and drawings. In Science, we further explored the science of sound. We discussed sound with reference to volume, and that some sounds are loud, and some are soft. We executed a science experiment to demonstrate the sense of hearing, which helped us to conceive how sound is transmitted through the air in waves, and received by our eardrums. We also created our own ‘string telephones’ to further explore this concept. The children worked wonderfully in pairs to create and use these devices to send secret messages to each other over long distances. In PDH, we further explored who we are as learners. We mind mapped and recorded how we can be more organised, and more productive. Last week, we created goals to help us be more organised, and be persistent learners, and this week we evaluated those goals, and tried to ‘think like a learner’ to become better at time management. As a student, this is really important! We talked about how we need to get ourselves organised, to complete a task on time. Some suggestions were: ‘Get started early’, ‘listen carefully to the teacher’s instructions’, ‘keep my desk tidy, and pencils sharp’. All excellent ideas! Another productive and inspiring week in Year 1!

YEAR 2 How did we communicate before Facetime, Zoom, emails and iPhones? The Year 2 students started to research past and present forms of communication and present their findings during ‘News’. So far, we have learnt about Braille, Morse Code, newspapers, television and email. The children are focussing on their Oral Presentation skills. Do they speak clearly and at an appropriate volume? Are they looking at the audience with confident body language? Can they vary their pitch and intonation to keep the audience engaged? During our PDH lessons, we continued to work through the ‘Achievement’ program. We considered the difference between a ‘growth’ mindset and a ‘fixed’ mindset. Someone with a fixed mindset may think, “I’m not smart enough to do this.” To fix this to a growth mindset, we think, “My effort and attitude make all the difference” and “I like to challenge myself.” We also played some games that required specific skills. Our challenge was to maintain positive selftalk, even when things get tricky… like when we were trying to make a house of cards! In Maths, our number focus was on multiplication (grouping) and division (sharing). We now know these formal mathematical terms and the symbols that represent them. Year 2 are working really well throughout their lessons and are to be praised for keeping their spirits up throughout this rainy spell.

YEAR 3 Another wonderful week was had in Year 3. Thankfully, there was a little less rain but the weather was the least exciting part! This week in Science, students got physical and modelled the process whereby mountains are formed. During this investigation, students pushed two tectonic plates (boxes) together whilst watching the many layers of the Earth’s crust (a folded towel) bunch up and form peaks and valleys. The excitement was exuberating, and many were fascinated by how slow this process must take in real life. The most riveting piece of information was definitely the fact that many mountains are still growing each year, meaning Mount Everest will become even taller than it already is! In English, students showcased their writing skills that they have been developing over the past few weeks, whilst writing a narrative for their English Writing Assessment. The teachers are very excited to read these amazing pieces of work and everyone should be very proud of the efforts they have put into these. Finally, all students continued their historical inquiries into Australia’s past during discussions about how Captain Cook’s First Fleet and the Gadigal Peoples of the Eora nation shared differences but also similarities at the time of British Colonisation. Most notably, students correctly identified that although these two groups came from very different backgrounds, during this time they would have both been afraid and confused about the other – an interesting and stimulating observation, Year 3. Keep up the great work next week, Year 3!

YEAR 4 “Where does our energy come from?” “What preys on predators?” “And what happens to organisms when their life comes to an end?” These are just some of the questions our inquisitive students have asked and answered as they explored the many trophic levels of life’s complex food webs. They also investigated the intriguing roles of producers, consumers and decomposers. Using different sources of information, students have come to recognise that, just like the life cycle, the end of the natural cycle in death is actually a means to the beginning of life. We discovered that decomposers break down deceased organisms into smaller matter, which provides nutrients to plants and fungi – the producers of most, if not all, of our energy! In Visual Arts, Year 4 looked at famous architecture as they explored the many elements of art, including line, shape, form and space. With artworks in progress such as these, we cannot wait to see their final pieces.

YEAR 5 & 6 ENGLISH After many weeks exploring sensory language and various literary devices, Year 6 put what they learnt into practice by writing a descriptive piece of work, based on an image from “The Rabbits”. Students used an array of techniques to paint a picture with words and immerse the reader into their narrative. Here is an extract of Ashley Vynokur’s immersive descriptive writing: “Crack! The trees slowly danced in the wind, as our orange-coloured fur brushed the trees. It was a lovely day today; the sun was shining in the royal azure sky. The white clouds were like soft pillows, floating in the distance. The old trees stood tall as the numbats started to wing on them. From above, we saw the rabbits who invaded our land. They were wearing silky, crimson-coloured tops and pants as black as night. A blanket of fresh concrete filled the dry, rocky land that the greedy rabbits have taken.” Meanwhile, Year 5 applied all they have learnt about persuasive writing to produce an essay on the topic “Smoking Should be Banned”. Year 5 had to use various persuasive devices, techniques and structural elements they have practised throughout the term, which resulted in some very convincing arguments!
YEAR 5 & 6 MATHEMATICS Using their knowledge and skills Year 5 mathematicians worked mathematically to find a variety of ways to solve one problem. Eve Kalan and Nina Wanis enjoyed solving the AllDigits Challenge. This required them to place the digits 0-9 once and once only in a multiplication calculation filled with place holders and a variety of clues involving consecutive numbers. After much persistence, Bally Napthali and Noah Butler also managed to solve the conundrum. Using Cartesian Coordinates, Year 6 marked a point on a graph showing how far along and how far up the coordinate was. They paid attention to the fact that the coordinates are written in a special order, called an ordered pair. The horizonal distance, the x-axis, was written before the vertical distance the y-axis. Mathematicians practised separating the numbers by a comma and placing parentheses around each pair. Furthermore, Year 6 discussed how the Cartesian Plane can be used in real life. Richard Sun suggested that it may be useful when are you are planning where to place different pieces of furniture in a room. He thought it could be practical to draw a two-dimensional grid representing the room and use an appropriate unit of measurement. Michael Zeritis was interested to learn that air traffic is managed and regulated by using coordinate geometry. Students discussed how coordinates of the flight are used to describe the location of an aircraft. After an investigation, students learned that even if an aircraft moves a small distance (up, down, forward, or backward), the coordinates of the flight are updated in the system for every slight change in its position.

YEAR 5 & 6 SCIENCE In Science this week, Year 5 participated in a range of experiments to highlight the signs to distinguish between chemical and physical reactions. Students are now confident with identifying the differences between chemical and physical reactions and also successfully answered 3-mark questions around this topic. Students also reviewed their cycle tests this week. Reviewing cycle tests allow students to highlight where they are strong in Science and what they should be writing to gain full marks. In Year 6, students broke down atoms. Students are able to correctly identify how many protons and electrons each element contains and they can also calculate how many neutrons each element contains. Students are becoming experts on the periodic table! Students reviewed their cycle tests this week. Reviewing cycle tests allow students to highlight where they are strong in Science and what they should be writing to gain full marks. In Science Club, students were given a range of materials and asked to make a race car. Students used their scientific imagination to create some weird and wonderful cars to race. Students used a balloon as the engine to power their vehicle and made the most effective, streamline body they could to win their race.
MUSIC It was a wonderful week of Music. In Kindergarten, Music students consolidated the pitches So and Mi using solfa and hand signs to internalise these two intervals of the major scale. The students then learned several songs which are centred around these two pitches including ‘Rain, Rain’, ‘See Saw’ and ‘Bee Bee Bumble Bee’. After singing the songs using words and solfa pitches we then moved to the xylophones and started to play the songs with a particular focus on mallet technique. Great playing Kindy!

MUSIC PERFORMANCE Next Monday evening, we are so excited to present some talented student performances in our Welcome Recital. Tickets are not required, and your support is welcome, at 7pm in Adelaide Hall next Monday March 14. Our students have been absolutely thrilled to have formed their proper ensembles this week, and all signs point towards an enriching and fulfilling year of performances Year 5-6 Synthesiser Ensemble This week, the Year 5-6 Synthesiser Ensemble students had their first proper rehearsal in the computer room. Because we have moved into a new rehearsal space, we are now able to open the ensemble up to a larger number of students, which is very exciting. Being the first lesson ever for many of our students, we spent most of this week getting familiar with our equipment and the set up/pack down procedures. In Synth Ensemble, students use midi keyboards plugged into Garageband to emulate the sound of a variety of instruments. Students were allocated their parts for our new song and started working on them in preparation for a fun year of music making ahead. Year 3-4 String Ensemble The Year 3-4 String Ensemble students were delighted to have had their second rehearsal as a full ensemble this week. This year, with so many string players, the sound that the students are creating is already warm and powerful! The piece the students are working on this term is called 'Rickshaw Rally'. This piece requires some technical finesse because it includes left hand pizzicato (plucking). It has many different parts to challenge each player appropriately, because within the ensemble, some students have just begun their string journey, while others have been playing since Kindergarten, or even before! The focus this week was for students to learn to watch the conductor in order to follow tempo and dynamics directions, whilst still reading their own music. We also worked on balance as an ensemble – learning to understand when each part has an accompaniment role, or a melodic role in the piece. The students really enjoyed hearing the full sound that they create as a group – what a difference it makes to rehearse as a large ensemble! Keep up the good work, string players!

ART It has been a fun-filled term so far in our Visual and Media Arts studio. Year 6 have been working hard on their 3D avatar designs for 3D printing. We have also learnt so much about how 3D printers are changing the world. From prototyping prosthetics to moulds in dentistry, as well as 3D printing models for complex surgeries. This term has also been exciting for our young artists. We have had a number of students enter The Young Archie competition, which is held at the Art Gallery of NSW. The theme of the competition every year is to paint or draw someone who is special to you. We wish these students the best of luck!
