What a term!

WOW!!!! We have had such an excellent and busy term. I am very happy with the way everyone is working and that no one has given up yet even though we are so close to the end of term.

We have finished most of the assessment for this term. Our space stories are being written at the moment and we will be asking parents to help us edit them later this week. The board games we have been making in groups should be ready for us to play by Monday which will make our last week lots of fun.
Last week we had a special visit from a past SPC student who now works for NASA. Dr Arron Brandis talked to us about the planets, the new CEV vehicle that we will hear more about next year and about the possibility of life on other planets. Thank you for coming to visit us! We really enjoyed the real life experience.
The school fair was a great success. It was excellent to see so many families from 3D there and enjoying themselves. We only have 2 masks left to be sold. Please contact me if you have not yet bought yours.
The following student of the days have been very deserving of their awards. It is evident that the whole class has improved in the area of group work and you should be very proud of yourselves.
This term we have had the following student of the days.

Liam (our first double for this term),
Ashleigh,
Ben M,
Charlotte,
Mia,
Jasmine,
Joe,

and Bec.
I hope everyone stays healthy and safe for the rest of the term.

Welcome to Term 2

Welcome to term 2. I have to apologise for the late update.

We have been very busy this term. Already this term we have had Mother’s Day, the NAPLAN tests and loud shirt day. I would like to congratulate everyone in 3D on trying their hardest on the tests.

Coming up this term we have the year 3 day in the park (this Sunday), cross country (21st May) and the fete (14th June). I look forward to seeing everyone there! Also, next week we have a special visit from RACQ to talk to us about road rules and will be continuing AFL. Congratualtions to all who were at AFL today. Almost everyone behaved very well and I'm sure everyone learnt something new, even me!

This term we are focusing on our group work skills. In particular we are learning to share and take turns, include others, be positive, express our opinions well, listen and ask good questions, negotiate, encourage and help others. We have decided to make these our focus for student of the day awards on these areas.

Our students of the days so far this term have been Imogen,
Ben S, Keanu, Lillie, Jack, Mackinley,
Grace,
Bella, Georgia, Tom, Aiden,
Billy
Amelia
and Rosie.

Well done to all of our excellent group members. Keep up the great work!

I look forward to a very exciting and busy term!!!!
