Hurstville Public School

🌟 What’s On at HPS – Week 6! 🌟

We’re heading into another exciting week at Hurstville Public School! 📚✨

Yesterday, Hurstville PS Sapphires and Bangor Public School debated in the knockout regional rounds for the Premier's Debating Challenge.
The Sapphires argued negative, 'that primary school teachers should set a research project as homework over every school holiday'.
Both teams debated with great arguments and rebuttals.

Congratulations to our Sapphires 💎 who have won this round and will continue to the next knockout round for the regional competition! 👏🏻

✨In the Spotlight..✨
This term in Geography, 1W has been learning all about ‘Weather and Seasons’. 🌦️🍂❄️

They have explored the four seasons and learnt about the months that belong to each one. To bring their learning to life, they created an Autumn tree and a winter snowman to represent the different seasons.

In particular, this week they were tracking and comparing the weather in Cairns, Sydney and Hobart, they then analysed the data collected and made comparisons between the weather conditions in each location. 🌏☀️🌧️

Who Is In My Heart? 💗

Our KR students have been busy painting and drawing the special people who are in their hearts.

The children had the opportunity to think about the people who are important to them and use their creativity to represent them through painting and drawing. A beautiful activity celebrating the special people who make our hearts happy. ❤️
