Elijah with his bush diorama.
Integrating the 5 Cs of 21st Century Learning is easy at Our Lady of the Angels School.
In the primary grades, this is done through Project Based Learning (PBL) and begins in Kindergarten with Discovery Learning. This style of learning develops skills in the areas of creativity, collaboration, cooperation, communication and critical thinking.
Kindergarten was learning about environments and Elijah Katzer chose the Australian bush. Here is his diorama which he made at school, complete with snake, "...because I love snakes'" said Elijah.
At the other end of school, Year 5 students finished their PBL unit of the 3 States of Matter with a day of cooking, heating, cooling and freezing all sorts of 'matter'. Ella Owen had fun turning her solids into liquid before adding heat to make solid again - in the form of a yummy cake.

Our Kindergarten students have been busy with some amazing learning! In Maths, theyโve been exploring numbers and discovering the world of 3D shapes. In Religion, theyโve been learning about the story of the Good Samaritan- finding out what it means to show kindness and care for others.

Last week, Constable Ethan from the Hills Police Area Command visited Our Lady of the Angels and spoke to Years 3-6 students about the importance of online safety and respectful behaviour. The main ideas students were able to take out of the visit were: - Stay safe online - Think before you speak, act, write, or send - Be respectful to others and treat them the way you want to be treated - Help others who may be struggling - Tell a safe adult. We thank Constable Ethan for his time.
