 TERM THREE

INQUIRY

Our topic for Inquiry in Term Three is History with a focus on Ancestry. Students will explore and communicate their own history and that of their families with their fellow students. They will identify who the people in their family are, where they were born and raised, how they are related to each other and how their stories are communicated and shared. Students will explore the differences and similarities between student's daily lives and perspectives of life during their parent's and grandparent's childhoods, including family traditions and leisure time. They also identify and discuss cultural diversity in the school and/or community. Last week the students created indigenous bark paintings to tie in with our community history. 

This week the students were read the story ‘Just The Way We Are’ by Jessica Shirvington and Claire Robertson, which celebrates families of every kind. They then drew a picture of their own families to compare the differences and similarities in everyone's family structures. We also looked at each other as babies and how we have grown and changed over time, and how unique we all are!

100 DAYS!

Last Friday the Foundation students celebrated their well anticipated 100 Days of School! During the day they completed a variety of 100 themed activities with a focus on counting, skip counting and place value. The day was a huge success and the students had a fun day learning all about the number 100! 

The students dressed up in ‘100’ themed attire to help celebrate the day. They looked AMAZING! We had many creative outfits including a variety of 100 year olds and 100 themed outfits. What a fantastic day it was! The students were very excited to FINALLY celebrate their 100 days of learning! 

FOUNDATION SPECIALIST TIMETABLE

Term Three Specialist timetable 

 When students are participating in Health and Physical Education (HPE) and Perceptual Motor Program (PMP) it would be best if they were wearing sneakers or shoes that they can move around in. Please note that this timetable can change! We will keep you updated if this occurs.

We are looking forward to an exciting term of learning! If you have any questions please contact us via email or in person.
