Year 3
Term 4
It's hard to believe that we are already halfway through Term 4! Let's have a look at what we have been up to in Year 3.
SpellEx
Over the past few weeks, students have been focusing on the 'schwa vowel sound'. The schwa can be described as the lazy vowel sound and can be heard in words like teacher.
We then moved into using the 'k' sound at the beginning and at the end of words, followed by learning "Rabbit" words.
Literacy
Students are enjoying studying The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, developing their comprehension, vocabulary and discussion skills through a range of reading and language activities.
As we have recently began lunchtime clubs at school, students are witing Mr Kerlin a persuasive letter asking for some new clubs to be introduced.
Mathematics
To begin this term, we have been collecting and representing data through surveys and tables. We then moved into location and using directional language to describe where places are and now we have began looking at chance experiments.
Religious Education
Students recently completed a unit exploring their identity as people created, known and loved by God. Through Scripture and the teachings of Jesus, they reflected on how Christians are called to make loving and thoughtful choices, show compassion and respect for others, and build positive relationships in their everyday lives. We have then moved into how Jesus models forgiveness, as well as the process and importance of sacraments to the Catholic faith.
