Welcome back to Term 3!
It has been a very cold start to the term, however the children have come back ready and raring to go and I love their enthusiasm!
This term we are looking at a variety of topics with an integrated look at the Olympics over the next three weeks.
Our writing focus this term will look at different types of Poetry and Narrative structure which will also incorporate Dream Time Stories.
Our Math focus this term will be Place value (up to three digit numbers), Money, 2D and 3D shapes, Measurement (capacity and length), addition and subtraction, skip counting (2's, 5's, 10's), basic fractions and odd and even numbers.
In our HASS subjects we will have a focus on things from past and how children's daily lives differ from those of their parents or grandparents childhoods.
We will also be looking at a variety of Dream Time Stories and comparing these stories to our modern day activity of story telling.
In Science we will be exploring how we can observe changes in the sky and landscape and how this can affect our ability to care for natural, managed and constructed features.
