你 好 (ni hao)

We are excited to welcome our Year 3/4 and 5/6 students and families back for the beginning of Term 3. We hope everyone enjoyed a restful break and is feeling refreshed and ready for another wonderful term of learning.

Students have settled back into classroom routines beautifully and have enjoyed reconnecting with friends and teachers. The past week in Mathematics, 3/4 students have been exploring the concept of time, developing their understanding of reading, interpreting, and solving problems involving time. In English, students will begin exploring a range of famous Australian poems, examining the language, imagery, and themes used by Australian poets.

Students have also been busy preparing for the upcoming Teacher-Student-Parent Conferences. As part of this process, students have been reflecting on their learning and creating scripts to help them confidently share their achievements, and next steps with their families.

As the colder weather continues, please ensure students come to school dressed warmly and bring a water bottle each day.

We are looking forward to a productive and engaging term filled with learning, growth, and many positive experiences. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Warm regards,

The Senior Team
