On Thursday the 25th July Kindergarten travelled by bus to Calmsley Hill Farm.
When we arrived we met our farmers who took us on tour around the farm. We saw goats, chickens, cows, pigs, ponies, sheep and baby animals. We also went on a tractor ride. We even milked a cow!
After lunch we watched a whip cracking show, a working dog show and a sheep shearing show. We had so much fun learning about farm animals.
On Monday we were very excited to discover that we had been given some special eggs to take care of for two weeks. We were also given four baby chicks.
As part of our Creation unit of work in Religion, we are learning all about God’s Creation and the importance of caring for all parts of Creation.
We were amazed on Wednesday when some of our eggs started to hatch. Now we have seven chicks in our classroom. We are hoping some more of our eggs will hatch each day.
To care for our eggs we need to make sure the incubator is warm. To care for our chicks we need to make sure they have a warm lamp to sit under, fresh water and food.
We are so excited to care for God’s Creation in our classroom!

βοΈπ§ FIAT Students β Washing of the Hands π§βοΈ Our FIAT students took part in a meaningful reflection through the Washing of the Hands, inspired by the example of Jesus and His call to serve others with humility and love. This symbolic action invited students to think about how they can use their hands to help, serve and care for others in their everyday lives. It was a powerful moment of reflection, encouraging our students to live out their faith through action. We are so proud of our FIAT leaders for embracing this experience with reverence and understanding. π #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks #faithinactioncspd

Our Year 4 students have been busy designing and creating their very own insulated lunch boxes as part of our Science unit! π§π¦ Students explored how different materials can help keep items cool, then put their designs to the test using an ice cube challenge. It was fantastic to see their creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills in action as they worked to slow down the melting process. We were so impressed with the thoughtful designs and the way students evaluated and improved their ideas. Well done, Year 4! π #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks
