⏳ Stepping Back in Time! ⏳ This term, our stu ⏳ Stepping Back in Time! ⏳

This term, our students are diving into History, exploring how life has changed over time. To kick off our inquiry unit, our Year 3–6 students travelled to Coal Creek Heritage Village, where they stepped back into the 1800s to experience what life was like long ago. 🕰️

From exploring the old general store to comparing everyday items from then and now, students got a real taste of the past. They even took part in a traditional school lesson — complete with slate boards and very strict rules! 🏫✏️

It was a fascinating, hands-on day that sparked curiosity and excitement for our journey into the past!

Our beautiful Wellbeing Dog, Bexley, has started Term 4 as busy as ever! 💙 He’s been visiting classrooms, keeping a close eye on ball games outside, and even enjoying a few peaceful walks along the foreshore — making the most of everything Hastings has to offer! 🌊☀️

Our students have been amazing in following the Dogs Connect key learnings — showing care, respect, and calmness when interacting with Bexley. It’s so heartwarming to see the positive impact he continues to have on our school community. 🐶💫
