Year 3 News
Inquiry
The Year 3’s have begun their new Unit Of Inquiry, Where We Are In Place And Time and have been learning about Australian and Indigenous culture.
The Year 3 students have started investigating a notable Indigenous Australian to research, develop a PowerPoint slideshow and deliver an oral presentation on their subject of choice.
We are looking forward to our incursion by Ian Hunter, Elder of the Indigenous Wurundjeri
people of Melbourne next week to share his stories and for us to share our findings about Aboriginal culture.
Helping The Preps With Their iPads
The Prep students were excited yesterday to have the Year 3 students spend some time with them, helping them on their iPads.
Sports Report
By Sonny W and Archie N
Over the past couple of weeks, we have played Aboriginal Games for Year 3 sport. The first game, Gun-dah, is a bat and ball game where you have to defend the wickets and four kids can bowl at you at once!
The second game was called Emu which was a tiggy game. You have to run from the Emu and if you want to have a break you can go to your base but the Emu can count to 5 and when they get to 5 you have to run. They were both really fun.
NAPLAN
The Year 3 students have been busy participating in the NAPLAN test over the last few weeks. I have interviewed 2 students Max C and Audrey M to find out how they went.
