Years 3 - 5

This fortnight, our students enjoyed an exciting athletics clinic with two visiting coaches. They explored the skills and techniques for running, jumping, and throwing. The highlight of the sessions was learning the throwing technique mantra, “Mr Chineetoe”. This clever tip helps students remember to line up their chin, knee, and toe for the perfect throw.

In writing, we have been focusing on persuasive writing. Students have been learning how to convince the reader and clearly argue their point of view. Their latest task challenged them to debate whether a beach or bush holiday is the best, allowing them to practise using strong arguments and examples to support their opinions.

Next week is also the beginning of NAPLAN testing for our Year 3 and 5 students.
