Year 3 Update

Our Learning - Weeks 9 and 10

As we come to the end of another wonderful term, the Year 3 teachers would like to thank all families for their ongoing support. We are incredibly proud of the resilience, positive attitudes, and learning growth shown by our students throughout Term 2. It has been a busy and exciting few weeks, with highlights including our fun-filled Pyjama Day and the much-anticipated Market Day. We wish everyone a safe and relaxing holiday break and look forward to another fantastic term ahead.

English

Students finished their novel study on our text Brindabella. They looked at what the characters actions tell us about their traits and reflected on what we learnt across the story, including the key messages of the text.
Students learnt the meaning of prefixes super- and under- and how they change a base word.

Maths

Students refreshed their memories of 'duration', 'o'clock' and 'half past'.
Students learnt how to tell the time to the minute using both anologue and digital clocks.
Students learnt how to identify and calculate the duration of events.

SEL

Students are learning to understand rights and responsibilities and how they connect to respect.

Inquiry

Students finalised their History unit, reflecting on changes in Australia over time and recognising the important events that shaped Australian history.
