Welcome back to Term 3! I hope you all had a lovely holiday and the students are feeling refreshed and renewed after their two week break!
What's On This Term?
This term we are looking at a variety of topics and basing these concepts around the children's interests and ideas. We will be asking the children what they would like to learn about in regards to these topics with a question box at the back of our room. The children always come up with some great ideas to guide their own learning!
Our writing focus this term will look at Procedures as well as Information Reports. Our Maths focus this term will be money, 2D and 3D shapes, measurement (capacity and length), addition and subtraction, revision of skip counting (2's, 5's, 10's), place value revision and odd and even numbers.
In our HASS subject we will have a focus on things from the past and how children's daily lives differ from those of their parent's or grandparent's childhoods. At the end of the term we are planning a special excursion to explore life in the olden days first hand.
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.
In Visual Arts we will be learning about colour (primary colours and how they mix to form secondary colours). We will experiment with some colour mixing and have a go at creating artworks using complementary colours.
