Fantastic 3/4

Term 3 Week 10  2023 

What have we been up to? 

In Literacy, each class is continuing  reading their novel, focusing on learning fluency, comprehension, inferring, and predicting skills.  This week students are writing a good copy of their descriptive text on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Students have enjoyed learning facts about one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks. 

For the remainder of this term in Maths, the focus will be on strengthening students' understanding of multiplication and division. These foundational mathematical concepts are essential building blocks that lay the groundwork for more advanced mathematical skills. Through the use of arrays and different strategies students will be able apply this in problem solving activities. 

This term in Science, students have been exploring chemical sciences. Students are now well educated on what happens to objects and items when they undergo processes of melting, freezing, heating, and cooling, resulting in various shapes through moulding. By studying the properties of materials and how they undergo state changes under different conditions, students will gain insights into how materials scientists can develop products to enhance our quality of life. Furthermore, students have begun creating brochures to explain their understanding of what a solid, liquid and gas is with examples.

This term in Inquiry, students have embarked on a geography unit, exploring the causes, effects, and contributions of individuals that have brought about change. They will also explore the significance of events, symbols, and emblems that shape Australia's identity and diversity. Additionally, students will analyse the representation of places within and near Australia, examining the similarities, differences, and connections people have to these locations across various scales. Students will understand the vital role of rules and people's contributions to communities, they will develop their skills in formulating inquiries, locating, collecting, and recording information and data from diverse sources. Over the final two weeks of term students have begun creating a poster about an Australian neighbouring country of their choice. They have provided great detail of the history, traditions, native animals and foods of either New Zealand, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Samoa, Vanuatu or Indonesia.
