Harvest Home Primary School - Term 2 Week 7 Term 2 - The Learning Journey... - As we reach the halfway point of Term 2, it is hard to believe how quickly the term is progressing. The cooler mornings are setting in, yet there remains a wonderful sense of energy and purpose throughout our school. One of the things I enjoy most is visiting class...

Our Year 4-6's are up for Kaizen on Display!
In Reading, year 4 have been reading a variety of non fiction texts. In our posters we demonstrated the skills to summarise the text, wrote the theme of the text, identified the message of the text and used text features to help us deepen our understanding.

The Year 5’s have been working hard on writing Persuasive Pieces on a variety of different topics. They used the PEEL strategy (Point, Example, Explain, Link) to organise their paragraphs and used a range of persuasive devices such as, rhetorical questions, exaggeration, statistics, and modal verbs.

In Year 6 Writing, students have been learning how to write a persuasive Letter to the Editor. They have been experimenting with persuasive devices to convince the reader of their ideas. Students have written letters to the HHPS Principals about changes they would like to see at Harvest Home Primary School including a school pet and some improvements to the HHPS grounds.

Our Home sport students went on excursion to YMCA Leisure City last week where they participated in a range of fun and active Soccer and European Handball activities!

HHPS UPDATE- Weeks 7 and 8

We wish all of our students participating in the Division Cross Country the best of luck on Thursday!

A friendly reminder that next Monday, June 8th, there will be no school due the King's Birthday Public Holiday.

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. The 2026 theme, “All In,” reminds us that everyone has a part to play in building respectful relationships and creating a fairer future for all. It encourages us to work together with kindness, understanding and respect every day.
We had a very special Together on Friday today with an amazing performance from some of our Auslan students, presenting 'I am Australian' in Auslan. Well done!

Congratulations to our Runners up for Interschool Sports Term 1: Cricket A Boys and Basketball B Girls. Well done!

Today, our Prep to Year 2 students joined in with millions of other Australians for the reading of 'Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller' as part of National Simultaneous Storytime!

Written by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, and illustrated by Jake Minton, Luna Roo captures all the intense excitement of the game, with a heartwarming message that courage and determination are a winning combination.
