Year Three Team News

Hello Year Three families,   

Well done to our fabulous Year Threes for all their hard work and stamina. What wonderful Willy Kids they are! It has been terrific to see all the students working hard on their brochures for the Inquiry unit. We are particularly proud of all the time the students have taken in the presentation of their work.

Oral Presentations

The oral presentations are under way, and we thank you for taking the time to assist your child with the preparation of these.

Coming up next week, on Friday 14th June: 

(REPEAT)

This term we are exploring the inquiry question of 'How can we care for our health and wellbeing?' To assist us in finding out, Proactivity will be running a 'Ninja Warrior' incursion which includes an obstacle course, inflatable Zorb chamber, giant Earth ball, tug of war and karate fitness. During this incursion, our Year 3s will be examining the benefits of physical activity and fitness to health and wellbeing. They will also perform movement sequences, which link to fundamental movement skills as well as combine the elements of effort, space, time, objects, and people when performing movement sequences.

*This event is on Compass, and we ask that you please consent to and make payment for this if you haven’t already done so as soon as possible.
