This term in Year 2 students are learning about the importance of Baptism and how baptism brings people closer to God.
They have been talking about baptism with their parents and have brought in pictures and items from their own baptism which they have used to help in their understanding of this sacrament.
Year Two students went on a gallery walk looking at the physical symbols of the Rite of Baptism and added key words and phrases about what the symbols are and what they may mean.
Students use the images from the gallery walk to sequence the Rite of Baptism. They enjoyed using an iPad to take a photo of their sequence, these were then shared with the grade on the TV.
Christ the King is lucky enough to have our parish church on the same grounds as the school, so we were able to visit the church to help in our understanding of Baptism.
Tabitha wrote "On the 5th of June my class went to the church to meet with Father Ian to learn more about the Sacrament of Baptism. Father Ian showed us the oil of Chrism. I was amazed because I’d never seen the oil of Chrism. The second oil that he showed us was the oil of Catechumen. The oil of Catechumen has a sweet smell".

π Year 2 Exploring Science and Technology! π Year 2 students have been learning in Science about how society works to protect our wildlife and natural resources. As part of this learning, they discovered how drones are used by scientists and conservationists to monitor environments and help protect endangered and protected species. The excitement grew when students had the chance to watch a live drone demonstration, seeing firsthand how this technology can capture aerial views and help monitor landscapes and wildlife. It was a fantastic way to bring together science, technology and creativity, while helping students understand how modern tools can support the care of our environment. πΏπ· #cspd2026 #catholicschoolsparramattadiocese #parracatholic #CTKCommunity #ChristTheKing #CTKNorthRocks
