Selamat Siang, 

 

This week students have been building collaboration skills across all areas of their learning!! In maths we became detectives, investigating a 'Petrifying Place Value' crime, working in problem solving teams to solve a variety of puzzles to unlock crucial clues about the suspect! The guilty culprit was suspect B ‘23,951’! During English sessions, students have collaborated by providing feedback on our narratives as we move through the editing and publishing phases. Teachers have been incredibly proud of the way all students have worked together when tackling NAPLAN style questions by supporting each other to understand the questions and utilise different strategies. Year 3 students will begin the official NAPLAN process next week.
