Year 3 News

Dear Families,

Welcome to Term 3!

Our Year 3 students have made a fantastic start to the term. They’ve settled in smoothly and are showing impressive growth in both maturity and independence.

We kicked things off with the exciting Year 3/4 swimming program, where students have been learning about water safety and strengthening their swimming skills.

We also want to celebrate the incredible end to Term 2 with our Year 3/4 camp. Our campers showed amazing bravery and teamwork as they challenged themselves to try a range of activities. Meanwhile, our non-campers demonstrated their creativity and love of learning by researching personal interests and developing passion projects.

This term, students will be exploring the world of simple machines. They’ll learn about different types, how they work, and even get to build their own! This unit will finish with the Mad About Science incursion, happening on the 2nd and 3rd of September.

To support their reading at home, students will also begin home learning in Week 4. A copy will be sent home in their homework books and will also be accessible via this newsletter.
