Highlight

Selamat sore 3/4 families!

This week the 3/4 students have been exploring time in our maths lessons. We had the opportunity to explore digital and analogue  time  and showcase all of our time knowledge of time related maths. We investigated how fractions can be linked to time and even had a go at creating a timetable for a swimming carnival day. We are all very excited for the Swimming Carnival.

Another highlight this week included exploring character development in some animated short stories. We were able to have some great discussions about how the characters developed throughout the stories and build a  bank of ideas as we begin to look at planning and writing our own narratives next.

Well done to the year 3 students for completing their first NAPLAN practice!
