Year 3

Welcome back! We have got a happening term ahead and our students will get heaps of opportunities to have fun filled learning experiences. We had excellent three weeks of learning and students are doing amazingly well in the class.

A peak at our learning this term so far:

Literacy: In Literacy, this term we will be covering Information Reports. The students are learning about the structure, language features and how to research about a particular topic on the internet and put it together in an organised text form. We will also be targeting the ‘skill of compare & contrast’ in reading and various grammar topics as well.

Numeracy: We are learning about fractions and how to order them in ascending and descending order. Students have been fantastic and enjoying doing hands-on activities to consolidate their learning such as making of ‘Fraction kites’.

Science: In Science students have been learning about the three forms of matter i.e. solids, liquids and gases and how are they different from each other.

Art: Students learnt how to make a 3D representation of a 2D shape and the use of shading to show the 3D effect.

PE and Health: Safety in the classroom and on the playground will be our topic of learning in Health this term. Students will also learn about the people who can help them in achieving safe surroundings and how to express themselves assertively.

Reminders:

• Please note that the homework is due each Friday.
• Students get some tasks every week on Mathletics and ReadingEggs as well. It is a great opportunity for the students to revise the concepts covered in the class. It has been noticed that there are some students who have not been doing their online homework over an extended period of time. Please make sure that your child does his/her online tasks every week.
• We encourage every child to bring rubbish free lunch. It is kind on our environment and is healthy at the same time. So please pack fresh fruit and vegies in your child’s lunchbox and avoid the processed food as far as possible.

Thank you for your continuous support!
