Grade 3 and 4

Book Week

The Book Week theme for 2023 is 'Read, Grow, Inspire' and our students loved dressing up as characters that inspire them to read. Aside from dressing up, Book Week was celebrated in Grade 3 and 4 by reading texts shortlisted by the The Children's Book Council of Australia and completing tasks linked to these.

Production - What a Knight!

The school production was a great opportunity for students to experience performing in front of an audience, showcasing their musical and dancing abilities. A huge thank you to Mrs Lambden and Mrs O’Sullivan who worked incredibly hard to give our students this amazing experience.

Here are some reviews from our Grade 3 and 4 students:

Crazy Sock Day

Our Crazy Sock Day is always a lot of fun, and it was incredible to see the number of coloured ankles in the yard! A huge thank you to the families that took the time to ensure their child had some unique socks to wear, and also for contributing money towards our Student Voice team’s chosen charities, Food Bank and The Sock Drive.

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden

Our Grade 3 and 4 students yet again cooked up a storm during our kitchen garden class. We love hearing how some of our students are accessing the recipes via Showbie and preparing meals for their families at home. What a fantastic way to showcase their cooking skills and connect with the family!

Aside from the beloved cooking sessions, our students are always eager to visit the chickens during our gardening time- not only for a cuddle, but also to top up their pellets, provide fresh water and hay and of course to collect the eggs.

Three-way Conferences

The conferences provide a wonderful opportunity for staff, parents and students to come together to celebrate academic and personal achievements and discuss further learning opportunities. We are so proud of how our Grade 3 and 4 students led these meetings, confidently explaining their learning in chosen work samples.
