CAR PARK ~ Attention all parents/caregivers who use the car park and North Road when dropping off or collecting children. As you will all be aware these are very busy areas at the start and end of the day and we would like to ask you all to help in making this a safer place for our children. Below are areas of concern which have been raised and we would appreciate your help with these.
Parking - Please consider the numbers of cars looking to park each day in the car park and ensure when parking that you use the space wisely. Unfortunately large gaps between cars mean less cars can park and thus an even busier car park as cars have to keep moving!
Drop Off/Pick Up Area - Hopefully everyone is aware that the area cordoned off next to the hedge and entry to the school grounds is only a Drop Off/Pick Up point. We would appreciate if cars do not stop and park in this area as the traffic needs to keep moving through here to allow all vehicles to leave the car park. If you need to help your children then please park your car in the parking area rather than hold up traffic.
North Road Access for Entry and Exit - Please do not park directly either side of the North Road entry/exit - this is firstly illegal and secondly very dangerous for cars attempting to come and go from the car park during this very busy time.
Parking and collecting children - Please don't let your children walk across/through car park to get to your car without you. Teaching staff are there at the end of the day to prevent this happening, however we would appreciate parents if you are not using the drop off/pick up point to come over to collect your children personally.
Your help in with this will make the car park a safer place for our children.

The Big Bang Theory

The big bang theory is how scientists’ think the world was created. They think that the world was made by supernova explosions and then humans evolved later.
However the world began, at Sacred Heart School, we believe God was responsible for the beginning of creation.
In our production we are readapting the Big Bang Theory into a story. There are four main characters in our story the sun (Startull) supernova explosions (Big Blue) star (Elder Yellow Star/Elder Red Star).
The first stars were created when the light photons and botons were split into two in the process sometimes photons or botons went missing leaving singulars. Singular botons and photons then paired up with each other creating the first hydrogen atoms, which soon after would create the first stars.
By Caitlin and Shelley.

Audition

On Friday the 15th of May Room 9 auditioned for parts for our production.
The person who was auditioning needed to do these things:
1. Use a clear voice so the people could hear them
2. Vary their voice so the audience didn’t get bored.
3. Stand without fidgeting or wriggling.
4. Look at the audience when they spoke.
5. Speak so they could be heard.(volume)
6. Speak not too fast or too slow. (Pace)
7. Speak with feeling(tone)
8. Know what to do if the audience looked bored, laughed or
clapped.
We each had a piece of the script to read with Mrs Lieshout for the audition.
We felt nervous about the audition. By Chanae & Jennifer


WE WILL ROCK YOU

Bang, bang, smash!!!
In Room 9 we have been thinking of new lyrics for the song we wanted to use this for our part of the Production.
After we read the script we wrote some lyrics. They went like this: every body watch out, every body look out, watch out, look out, there’s going to be a Big blow up, blow.
Then we got a big surprise. Mrs Lieshout told us there was going to be a special guest, and the special guest was our old teacher Mr Gander. Mr Gander came over to help with our song.
Mr Gander helped us with our song while we where working. It took Mr Gander most of literacy to finish fixing up the lyrics of the song. He said we had made a great job of them. After he finished fixing the lyrics we all listened to the song and we all were very impressed. After we heard it we made some changes and sang it with the music. I thought the song was really cool. And we all really enjoyed Mr Gander coming and helping with the song.
At school we are almost finished creating a dance to the music of “We will Rock You.”
The production is on its way and we are all very excited about it. By Brittany, Mackenzie & Molly.
