Highlight

Selamat sore 3/4 families!

There was so much excitement Last Friday for our first week of ICE. From pancake art to creative story writing, we had fun meeting and collaborating with different people and learning new skills. We are already looking forward to the Showcase!

This week was a short but busy week! The Grade 3s had their first two NAPLAN tests which were Writing and Reading. We all tried really hard and we can’t wait to do the Language Conventions and Maths tests next week. 

In Maths we practised our addition and subtraction strategies. We used MAB blocks to show the equations and model how to rename numbers to help us learn vertical addition and subtraction. 

We hope you have a wonderful week!
