The students  are writing  informative texts about Australian Animals. We are using Tier 2 and 3 words to make our writing more interesting.

The purple words are Tier One words (everyday words)

The pink words are Tier Two words (interesting words)

The blue words are the special words only used when we are talking about the topic.

Here is some wonderful writing that has the different Tier words marked in the colours .

In Mathematics we are learning to represent multiplication and division problems as arrays. Students had to create multiple array buildings to contribute to an array city. Students  created number sentences, designed array buildings and recorded the total number of windows and made number sentences.

This term in Science and Technology we are learning about Light. This week  we conducted some experiments about refraction.  Refraction is the bending of light through one substance to another, for example, through air and water.  Our experiment tested how a coin becomes visible in a bowl when you add water due to refraction.

In Physical Education  we have been practising the skill of kicking a ball in three different ways:

•   From a stationary position
•   Punt kicking the ball
•   Kicking a rolling ball
  

The Year Three family - respect one another, work with one another, play with one another, share with one another, laugh with one another, grow with one another and learn from each other.  TOGETHER we all try to be the very best people that God wants us to be.
