Year 3 Report

Term 2

Another Term down! It's been a very busy Term for all students, who have worked really hard in achieving their best.   The Grade 3 students have enjoyed being involved in the Social Stencil Program, learning about strategies to deal with various emotions and how to make better choices outside the classroom.

 

 

Literacy

This term in Reading, the Grade 3 students have looked at text structure and features of narratives and the difference between realistic and fantasy. The students delved into exploring the different question types to give them opportunities to deepen their understanding of the text that they read, as well as making inferences and making connections.

 

 

In Writing, the Grade 3 students, explored elements of a realistic narrative, developing characters, setting, problems and solutions.  While using their imaginations in creating their stories the students learnt about various language devices that add detail and description, developing a writer's voice.  They worked through the process of writing, and publishing their work using a program called, 'Book Creator'.

In Inquiry, the students explored heath and wellbeing.  They identified harmful situations at home, school and the community.  They also Identified how health services and products address the health needs and concerns of the local community.
