Week 4

We had a very productive week last week!

3D would like to thank all the parents that help us with our parent reading in the mornings. We really enjoy having the opportunity to show you how good our reading is getting. All those nights of reading each week are beginning to pay off! I would like to thank those groups that have consistently worked hard during our literacy blocks. I know that it can be hard learning a new routine but some people have really tried hard and are now able to help the rest of their group. Excellent work to those people. :)

We started our science rotations on Monday. 3D stayed with Miss Denham and we did an experiment that taught us about static electricity. We used balloons and little paper people. We are looking forward to going to Mrs Willis next week to learn about magnets.

Next week on Wednesday (25th February) we will not being having our literacy blocks because we will be attending a whole school mass for Ash Wednesday. Please feel free to join us for this mass if you are available. Also on this day I will not be at school as I am attending a day for all the graduate teachers this year. I have met our relief teacher for that day. She is lovely, familiar with the school and I believe the students will like having her for the day.

To our students of the week - congratualations! Keanu and Rosie were our first students of the week for the year. Well done you two and keep up the great work!

Students of the day. We decided that this week is the last week that people cannot have doubles at student of the week. On Monday the student of the day was Georgia for helping her classmates. Thank you for being such a good friend Georgia.

Tuesday's student of the day was Charlotte for doing great work. Well done Charlotte! You should be very proud.

Ben M was our student of the day for Wednesday. He was a good partner during the SOSE and science activities we did that day. Great work Ben!

Another good partner is Jasmine who got student of the day on Thursday for doing great pair work. It so good having good friends in 3D!

Friday's student of the day was Aiden for being persistant! You never give up Aiden and that is an excellent attitude to have, good work!

I am looking forward to an even better week next week, the beginning of Lent.

Week 3

Hello everyone,

Last week (week 3) was a very big week for 3D.

We started swimming on Thursday - congratulations to everyone for their behaviour at the swimming pool and to all those students who are not confident at swimming - you did a wonderful job! You should be very proud of yourself.

After swimming we had a Michael Mangan concert. Michael Mangan writes and records many of the songs used by SPC and many other Catholic schools in Australia (and overseas) during mass and prayer assemblies. We enjoyed this concert because it gave us a chance to practice some of our favourite songs and learn some new ones. Our class was very good at learning the new actions we were taught and even adding in some of our own flare!

Thursday night was the year 3 parent night. Thank you to all the parents who were able to make it (and for coming to see me if you were not). I believe that the night was a success and it is great to see how some information shared on the night has been filtered back to the students (particularly with newstalks and the daily readers).

Last week we also started our student of the day awards. I would like to congratulate all the student of the days from last week. Monday was Liam for listening well.

Ben S received the award on Tuesday for working hard today.

Wednesday was Rosie for being quiet and working hard.

Thursday's student of the day got theirs for listening at the concert - Mia,

and finally Friday saw Keanu working harder than ever!

Congratulations to the students of the day! Keep up the good work and remember that you can get the award more than once!

Keep up the good work, Miss Denham
