St Paul’s School has taken delivery of their first robots. Leticia O’Brien’s K 1-2 class has already built an obstacle course for these little bots, with assistance from the 5/6 classroom.
The same class have been in the kitchen and have been making delicious choc chip muffins. The next cooking experiment will be “cake-in-a-mug”.
And it gets better; during science 3/4 Class students experimented with changing a liquid into a solid. As it was reported by Kaylene McClure, it was such a shame that the students were required to change milk (liquid) into ice cream (the solid). All students worked tirelessly to make their respective experiments a success followed by a taste test of their creations.

Treat days are held every five weeks and are a way to congratulate and thank students who are constantly making Henty Public School a great place to be every day. This coincided with the Crazy Hair and Hat day, which was held to raise funds to send our dance team to this year’s Riverina Dance Festival. All eligible students enjoyed a sausage sizzle and drinks.
