Welcome Back to Term 3

Welcome back for Semester Two. I hope everyone had a lovely break and are recharged and ready to go for what is sure to be a busy term ahead.

The students have settled into their new Kagan teams, which they will be in for the first 5 weeks. It is always fun to discover new things about each other. We made a class graph, depicting our favourite holiday activity and then turned this into a comic, as we have been learning about sequencing in our Reading Block over the last 2 weeks. We have been working on interesting ways to write a recount, experimenting with onomatopoeia and dialogue to “hook” the reader.

In Morning Fitness, the students have been practising team games with the other Year 3 classes, in preparation for the Sports Carnival which will be held later in the term. Co-operation and good sportsmanship have been the focus of these sessions.


In the afternoons, we have started exploring the properties of different materials and how these can change when we apply heat. We have also been practising our touch typing skills using Tying Club (link and log in details are in your child’s homework folder).


In HASS, we have been looking at democracy and how this is evident even within our own classroom! We have talked about different styles of voting and held a secret ballot to elect our new Student Councillors!


In Health, we have been exploring different kinds of drugs and how to use medications safely.

I look forward to working with all the students again in Room 24 and can’t wait to see what they will achieve!
