Week 6

We had a very good week this week! Almost everyone had great behaviour and all of you tried really hard in all your work. I am very impressed with how far you have all come since the beginning of the year!

This week we made our lent promises and displayed them on the back wall of the classroom as flowers in a vase. I hope everyone has remembered their promises over the weekend (there was alot of people giving up tv, sweets and fighting with their brothers and sisters!).

At swimming on Thursday we started to get ready for our carnival this Friday. The encouragement and support everyone gave to their classmates was excellent! I hope to see the same attitudes on Friday!

This week our students of the week were Jasmine for excellent reading. Jazzy had done the most nights of reading in the class.


Grace was our other student of the week for HUGE improvement in all her school work! Grace you should be so proud of how hard you are working, I know that I am.


Our student of the day for Monday was Bella for working hard today. Keep up the great work Bella!


On Tuesday Lillie was our student of the day for helping make a class plan. You had some awesome and creative ideas Lillie!


Wednesday's student of the day was Grace for constantly improving her school work!

On Thursday Amelia received our student of the day award for not pushing during daily readers! This can be a big problem in our class and Amelia always waits back for others to have their turn first. You are very considerate Amelia!


Our student of the day for Friday was Mackinley for being a team player. You are the type of friend we like to have in 3D!

I am looking forward to a very exciting week this week!

Week 5

I would like to start this blog by saying that I am very proud of the effort everyone has been putting into their work this week. We have work from a few students on display in the office! Well done everyone!

On Monday 3D went to Mrs Willis's class during our science rotations. There they learnt about magnets and what sort of materials are magnetic. Next Monday we are going to 3GH to do an experiment involving water.

This week I attended a graduate teachers' induction on Wednesday. The relief teacher left nothing but praise about 3D. She was very impressed at how much work they got done and even wanted to give out 2 student of the days!

Wednesday was also Ash Wednesday. I have heard that the mass was excellent and that all the students behaved themselves.

On Friday our school participated in Clean Up Our School (part of Clean Up Australia Day). I was very proud of how serious the year 3s were about cleaning up. After we had finished cleaning up our area there was no rubbish to be seen! Excellent work!

Our student of the day for Monday was Liam for following the rules. Liam is our first person to receive the award twice!

On Tuesday Tom was our student of the day for his creative maths thinking. Tom was able to think 'outside the box' to come up with a unique way to compare objects.

Keanu was Wednesday's student of the day for working hard and trying his best. Well done Keanu! Lillie was runner up for student of the day today and received a chocolate from Mrs G on Friday for her excellent efforts.


Thursday's student of the day was Jack for good maths work. Jack worked well with his group in a silent maths activity focussing on hundreds.

Rebecca was our student of the day on Friday for going out of her way to help others. Rebecca is the type of friend we like to have in 3D!

Everyone should be proud of their efforts this week. I look forward to a great week next week.
