Year Three - Spotlight on Learning

Dear Families,

This term, the Year Three students achieved remarkable growth in their learning and personal development. They embraced new challenges with enthusiasm and demonstrated a willingness to step outside their comfort zones. Their progress in literacy and numeracy was evident through their increased confidence in reading, writing, and problem-solving, especially their enthusiasm with the implemented Math's Fluency. They engaged in rich discussions, particularly around the text "Matilda" and the use of corporal punishment in schools and developed a stronger sense of teamwork. Throughout the term, they showed learning, respect, safety  and a growing sense of responsibility within the classroom and school community. Their hard work and dedication were truly commendable, and they should feel proud of all they accomplished.

As we get closer to Easter, we hope that you are able to spend some quality time with loved ones, and share in the miracles of the risen Lord and appreciate the small tokens of kindness we have to offer one another.

God Bless,

Year Three Ephesus Team.

Term 2 Learning...

Maths

We will begin with students explore the concept of fractions. They will learn that fractions represent equal parts of a whole and will deepen their understanding through hands-on activities such as folding paper and using everyday materials like counters and blocks. These experiences will support students in developing a clear and meaningful understanding of fractions in real-life contexts.

English

We will continue reading the text Off We Go Around Australia and exploring the different locations as well as the interesting landmarks and animals that can be found in our beautiful country. We have commenced our explanation piece on Waterfalls, and we continue writing the body paragraph, conclusion and the diagram next term. We will then read Yirra and Her Deadly Dog -Demon, focusing on factual recount for our writing.

Religious Education

Coming back after the break, we will be learning a bit more about the great celebration of Easter- The Resurrection of the Lord and then continuing our learning with Celebrations and Sacraments, whilst having a lens to the Jubilee year.

Integrated Studies

Students will explore the history and diversity of their community, learning about important celebrations, symbols, and emblems in Australia and beyond. They will be introduced to world history and migration, starting with the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
