An Amazing Term Three   

What has been happening in Room 7?

What an amazing and busy Term Three it has been! We have presented an assembly, celebrated Wattle Day, shared our love of reading with book week and participated in a fantastic sports carnival! Congratulations Room 7, you continue to shine as enthusiastic young learners.

Our Learning this term

In English, we have been constructing compound sentences using conjunctions. We have expanded our knowledge of punctuation and can now recognise commas, speech marks and when to use capital letters in our writing. In all our Big Write lessons, we are focusing on writing narratives that include an orientation paragraph for the beginning that describes the characters and setting with a sizzling start, a middle which features the problem, a series of events and a solution, before concluding with an ending to remember, not just they all lived happily ever after. The End!

In Numeracy, we are focusing on reading a calendar and telling the time. We are also extending our knowledge of chance and events as well as analysing data and creating graphs to represent the data. At the beginning of the term, we were able to add and subtract with numbers within 20, and now we are able to add and subtract numbers to 40 with and without regrouping. Each week we continue to work on our mental maths skills and our word problem strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems with number bonds and sentences. 

In Geography, we have explored places and spaces. We are now able to identify natural, constructed and managed features of our environment. We can recognise how spaces are used and why, as well as how we can protect special places within our environment. 

In Science/ STEM, we are researching, designing and building our own treehouses. We are using our knowledge of ICT to help us research. Then our Science, Engineering and Mathematics Skills to design and build. At the end of the project, we will create a narrative about our treehouses. 

Updates for Term Four

We will be starting Term Four with our dancing lessons. Please make sure you have returned your permission form and have paid for classes before the end of Term Three.

I wish you and your families a happy and safe holiday.
