Last Friday students enjoyed listening to an ex-student Annabel Crowley who is now a Software Engineer for Canva for an AI Workshop. She spoke about the options available to them to use, both now and in the future. Students had a chance to listen to her and then go into Canva and explore some new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was so fun to see a worker from Canva and learn about the cool features! We learnt that they call AI magic! Experiencing all these cool features expanded our knowledge in making presentations, posters, infographics etc in Canva!<\/em> What I loved about the Canva is that we learned so many cool things about AI that I never knew before. I loved that we could try the new things and I especially loved to know how to correct spelling mistakes.<\/em> Aiden Curran<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Leonie Trees<\/strong> Every Thursday at lunchtime this semester, students have enjoyed their time at Crochet Club. What began as a space to learn a new skill has quickly become a space full of imagination and perseverance. From mastering the basics, like chain stitches, single and double crochets, to tackling more complex patterns, students have embraced the challenges of crochet with enthusiasm and determination. Each week brings new opportunities to problem solve, try again, and celebrate progress, no matter how small. It is so great to see how the students support one another. Whether it\u2019s helping a peer untangle yarn or figuring out a tricky stitch together, Crochet Club has become a place where patience and collaboration thrive. We can\u2019t wait to see what they make next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sian Tierney<\/strong> In our recent Science lesson, our class explored the incredible adaptations of polar bears that help them survive in freezing Arctic conditions. Through a hands-on experiment, we tested the effects of icy water on our hands before using a bag filled with copha to simulate the insulating properties of blubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comparing the two experiences, we discovered how blubber helps polar bears retain body heat and endure harsh environments. This engaging activity sparked curiosity and a deeper understanding of animal adaptations in extreme climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ann Milicic<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Last week, Year 6 gathered in St Elizabeth’s for a session about St Dominic with Sr Sheila Flynn OP. In this session we learnt about the lengths of Europe St Dominic travelled to. We also learnt about how he was desperate to improve the quality of people’s lives as he learnt about the hardships of their lives while walking across Europe. Sr Shelia really helped us realise the impact St Dominic had on people and how hard he worked to proclaim God’s message. We had a wonderful time and are grateful for Sr Sheila’s teachings.<\/em> Phoebe Clarke<\/strong> Ms Leonie Trees<\/strong> 6CORE1 \u2013 Science investigations Over the past weeks in Science, the girls have been investigating Habitat and Adaptation. In their first experiment, they tested how bird beak shapes vary for different foods by using different shaped tools to pick up items representing food. They then analysed their data and formed a conclusion about which beaks […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16749,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[5],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-16562","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_category-gioia-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/16562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16562"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=16562"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/ssc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=16562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
