During Year 6’s Sport and Performing Arts session with Mrs. Kelly-Hosking and Mrs. Atkinson, we were very lucky to have Matthew’s Yaiya (grandmother in Greek), mother and older brother teach us the famous Greek dance the Zorba. This is a traditional dance the Greeks use to express happy emotions.
Although quite challenging in parts, Year 6 concentrated and listened carefully to the instruction and music to succeed in the end in learning the dance. We also practiced the Zeibekiko which has the famous words, “OPA” being chanted throughout. This was one of our favourite moments, chanting OPA to everyone. There is no specific meaning to this word, but it symbolises happiness, joy and celebration.
Overall, a massive thank you goes to our visitors for their efforts in sharing some cultural dances from Greece with us. We all had a wonderful time, even the teachers!

Year 2 had a blast building 3D objects using marshmallows and spaghetti! π‘π As part of their Mathematics unit on 3D shapes, students explored how to construct objects like cubes, pyramids and prisms using some very creative materials. It was a fun and hands-on way to bring geometry to life! Well done, Year 2! ππ![752139413580447_1307637374697312-1]()

Year 3 have been exploring tessellation in Mathematics! π·π» Students experimented with repeating patterns using shapes like triangles and quadrilaterals, learning how to create eye-catching designs by sliding (translating), flipping (reflecting), and turning (rotating) their shapes. They absolutely loved the chance to get creative and apply their knowledge in such a colourful way! π©πΈ Take a look at some of their fantastic tessellating designs below! πͺππ’ #cspd2025 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #westernsydney #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks #CTKLearning
