YEAR 3

FROM THE CLASSROOM  

In Reading this week, students have continued to explore the text 'Anzac Day', specifically looking into what The ANZAC Day March and ANZAC biscuits. Students have explored what makes The ANZAC Day March significant. Students were also exposed to the different connections we have to a text (text to self, text to text and text to world) and made their own connections. 

In Writing, they have continued to explore information report texts by creating their own text about a creature of their choosing. Students have created writing pieces that have comparison language, a range of generalisers and include information about unusual and special features to describe their own animal. 

In Mathematics, students started exploring probability. Students have been engaging with probability language and chances of events occurring.

In Wellbeing this week, students participated in our RPPS Wellbeing survey. Through this we are able to gather student perspectives and experiences within our school.

During Inquiry, students in HUB 2 were treated to a special event. Mrs. Norris brought in a WW2 uniform for students to see and connect to their unit of celebrations and commemorations. Students also explored the perspectives on significant events such as Australia Day.
