3/4 B

Term 4

Term 4 promises to be another action packed and fun filled term. I'm not sure we can top the end of term 3 but we will do our best to try! There are so many things to look forward to over the coming 11 weeks.

We have our upcoming excursion to ACMI (see below), Body Education sessions, Soccer clinics for Year 3-6, Water Safety Day for Year 3-6, Italian Day, School Cross Country and St Francis Xavier Feast Day. That's just to name a few of the upcoming events spread across the term. 

Please make sure you read the newsletter each fortnight and check Audiri regularly for information and updates. 

Below are some photos of one of our week 1 Maths activities: Ed and Dale's Heads and Tail

ACMI excursion to Federation Square

In week 3 we will have the opportunity to visit ACMI at Federation Square where we will conduct our own self guided animation trail. This excursion will link to our Inquiry unit called Frame by Frame. Please fill out the Operoo form as soon as possible to make sure your child can attend. It promises to be a fun filled day.
