Year 2 have been experimenting with plants in class recently by looking at how missing nutrients, water, warmth and sunlight change how they grow.
The students have planted new seeds to see the difference in how they will grow if something important is missing. They also looked at how water travels through roots and stems of various plants.
It is also exciting to see some of our broad bean plants growing!

♻️🌏 Another activity part of Laudato Si’ Week, our students participated in an engaging and informative session presented by Cleanaway and proudly sponsored by The Hills Shire Council. Students explored the impact litter has on our environment and the detrimental effects it can have on our world and living creatures. Through interactive learning and discussion, students discovered the importance of disposing of rubbish responsibly and the role we all play in caring for our common home. 🌿💚 A wonderful reminder that even small actions can make a big difference in protecting God’s creation.

Today, Little Blue Dinosaur Foundation ❤️🦕visited St Angela's Primary School in the Hills District, Sydney NSW to talk ‘ROAD SAFETY’ during National Road Safety Week! So lovely for me to go back to where I grew up. We are grateful for the opportunity to share lifesaving road safety knowledge and resources with all the students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Nothing makes me happier than to spread the message of ‘hold my hand ‘ & help children understand how important that simple action is in helping them to keep safe outside a vehicle given their cognitive, physical & perceptual limitations around roadways, driveways and carparks. In addition, the students have made a well informed road safety video for their parents to view around safe drop off & pick up at their school via their Facebook Page. Well done everyone 🙏🏻💖💖💖💖🚌🚙🚚🛵 at St. Angela’s and special thanks to their Principal, Mrs Nettleton and teaching staff for supporting this project….Thanking you all for your amazing attention to protecting your students from road trauma through effective communication and education of your student and parent community. #NRSW2026 #StAngelas #LittleBlueDinosaurFoundation #ChildPedestrianSafetyMatters
