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!

๐๏ธ๐ฟ Year 5 & 6 Blue Mountains Camp ๐ฟ๐๏ธ What an incredible adventure our Year 5 and 6 students had at camp in the beautiful Blue Mountains! From exciting outdoor challenges to team-building activities, students embraced every opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, build resilience and create lasting memories with their friends. Throughout the camp, students demonstrated courage, perseverance and teamwork as they encouraged one another to try new experiences. Whether they were conquering challenges, exploring the stunning natural environment or sharing laughs around camp, they showed our school values every step of the way. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff for their care and support, and to our students for representing Christ the King so wonderfully. We hope everyone returned home with new friendships, greater confidence and memories to treasure for years to come! ๐โจ #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks

Students had the opportunity to colour and create beautiful dot paintings, exploring Indigenous Australian art and expressing their creativity along the way.
