Pre-Primary Lorikeets and Possums
We have settled into Term 4 amazingly and are showing how ready we are for Year One!
We have been coming into our classrooms independently each morning and confidently preparing ourselves for a day of learning.
In Religious Education, we have been learning about the importance of names and sharing the special meanings behind our own names. We have also started learning about Baptism, which is the first sacrament and why it is an important part of our Catholic faith.
In Writing, we have been learning our new Talk for Writing text, The Gingerbread Man. We have enjoyed retelling the story and learning the actions to help us remember it. We have also been working very hard on our reading skills and writing complete sentences using capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops.
In Mathematics, we have been learning about positional language and using words such as above, below, beside,and between. We have also been practising addition using lots of fun hands-on materials to help us build our understanding.
We are proud of all the hard work we have shown so far this term and look forward to all the exciting learning still to come!
Year 3 Magpies and Numbats
Year 3 students have been very busy in Mathematics this term!
At the beginning of the term, we investigated data by asking survey questions, collecting information, and recording responses using tally marks. Students then displayed their data in a variety of graphs and learned how to interpret and discuss the information they had gathered.
More recently, we have been exploring the properties of 3D shapes. Students investigated the features of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, spheres and cubes, identifying their faces, edges and vertices. To showcase their understanding, students designed and constructed their own 3D shapes, demonstrating creativity while applying their knowledge of shape properties.
Year 3 students showed great enthusiasm and mathematical thinking skills throughout these hands-on learning experiences!
