Year Three Team News
with Katja, Emil, Carmel & Mary
Hello Year Three families,
There certainly are a lot of fun events happening for our Year 3 Willy Kids - beginning with the fabulous disco last week. This weekend we have the much-anticipated Spring Fair to enjoy with all the Willy Primary community.
Zoo Snooze:
Next week our Zoo Snooze has finally arrived.
- Monday 27th November – 3C
- Tuesday 28th November – 3D
- Wednesday 29th November – 3R
The students will attend school on the day as normal and will be dropped off outside the main entrance of the Melbourne Zoo, at 6pm, where they will be greeted by their class teacher. They will spend the following day at the zoo and return to school by bus in time for normal school pick up.
A note will come home this week with all the details and what the students need to pack. Let’s hope for good weather.
The student’s Oral Presentations on an endangered Australian animal have begun and the students are doing a terrific job. Thank you for supporting your children with these.
