Year 3 Update

Upcoming Learning

English

In English we are exploring the long a and e vowel sounds and working on simple sentences. We are identifying the author's purpose of texts and starting our persuasive text writing unit. 

Maths   

In Week 2 we are learning about the units of measurement and the different between length, height and width. 

In Week 3 we are exploring data and graphing. 

Inquiry

Our topic this term is 'How can I create a healthy me?' 

Students will be investigating the connection between a healthy body and mind to contribute to healthy, safe and active environments.   

Social and Emotional 

We will be forming positive relationships, working in teams, dealing effectively with conflict by recognising student's emotions and values, as well as their strengths and challenges. We will continue to work closely with the new school values of, kindness, respect and resilience. We will use these values to understand The Matrix of Expected behaviours in and around the school.

News and reminders 

Drink bottles: Please remember to bring a drink bottle to school every day. It saves disruption to your child's learning when this is accessible within the room. They are able to fill up their bottles in a nearby classroom.

Hats: A friendly reminder that school hats are required to be worn during recess and lunch. Students who do not have a hat will have to spend recess and lunch under the shade sails. We also encourage wearing sunscreen and drinking plenty of water during the school day. 

Take home readers: We will be starting take home readers in the coming weeks. If your child's blue reader bag is still at home, please send this in with them so we can get these organised.
