Selamat sore 3/4 families!

 

What an incredible start to Term 3!

We have shown bravery and a love of learning as we swam like fish around the pool. We are also very excited for next week as we continue our swimming lessons. As you might have heard from your child, we are especially thrilled for our water safety day on Thursday when we jump into the pool with our normal clothes on, and water fun day on Friday!

 

This week, we also confidently dove into exploring multiplication with our visual multiplication table sheet. Some of us challenged ourselves with enrichment exploring exponents. As part of NAIDOC week that happened over the holidays, we celebrated First Nations history through creating a language display, designing our own NAIDOC jerseys and responding to First Nations texts and traditions.

 

Have a wonderful week, 

Ros, Meg, Kathy, Sam, Katrina and Brooke.
