Middle Unit -2/3

We sure have started off with a busy Term 4. The students thoroughly enjoyed their camp experience and are settling back into the classroom routine. This Term the year 2/3s are learning about ‘Living things’ as part of their Science topic. They are monitoring their plants and recording the changes that occur as they grow. 

The students have also been busy making posters about a chosen animal habitat and constructing dioramas of the habitats. It has been very impressive to see the students making their own plants, trees, landscapes and animals with a variety of materials.
