Grade 3

Our Grade 3 students have been enjoying the Setting Up for Success program as we kick off the school year! The students took time to explore themselves, discovering what they have in common, as well as what makes each of them unique. Allowing our classrooms to reflect us as individuals. We also focused on our school values, rules and structure, working together to establish class expectations and set goals for the year.

In Literacy, students have spent time setting up their new book boxes and learning about what a good fit book looks like for them during visits to the Library. Students are actively working through the writing process, gathering ideas and crafting their own narrative and persuasive texts. 

In Mathematics, students have been completing a variety of activities using their number and place value knowledge. They have enjoyed playing maths games and have had lots of fun learning and challenging themselves.

Our Integrated topic this term is Identity. To begin with, students explored how to recognise and name their feelings using the Zones of Regulation framework. Students then participated in team games to identify character qualities such as persistence, teamwork and flexibility. Over the last few weeks the students have been working on creating their Identity projects. We are really looking forward to learning about each student in our classroom.
