End of Term 3

We made it to the end of term 3! Wow how this year has flown by. The kids have worked really hard this term and we have had some fun with camp and swimming and have learnt a lot in Science, Maths and English. I hope you have a wonderful break and return ready to go in term 4! See you on the 6th October...

In preparation for footy colours day, 3/4F made their own footy mascots. The designs had to be original and include background details. Here's a movie of the mascots we made.

What's on this week...? (Term 3, Week 10)

Welcome to the last week of term 3! This week, we focus on place value in Maths. We also have our 'Maths Day' on Wednesday. In English, we complete our news reports and supplementary videos of these reports. On Wednesday, the grade 3s and 4s will be participating in a hip hop dancing session. We have our footy colours day on Thursday (if you come dressed in your colours please bring a gold coin). Finally on Friday we finish early (2.30pm) with a final assembly. As this is the last week of term, there will be no homework. Enjoy your week.
