Second last week of term

This is the second last week of term. I cannot believe how quickly this term has gone. It feels like only yesterday that we were in term 1.

Already this week we have finished our drafts for our space naratives and started publishing them. Everyone is doing such a great job of them so far and suprising themselves at how well they can write stories. The stories are showing how much everyone has learnt about not only story writing but also about space - a topic our class has loved learning about! Thank you very much to the mums that have been helping us edit our stories.

Today we had our first dress rehersal for our reader's theatre plays. I think everyone who presented today should be very proud of their efforts and courage at performing in front of an audience. I am positive that tomorrow's groups will present at the same high level as the groups today. We are all looking forward to next Thursday's production by both 3D and 3W. It will be an amazing experience and I hope that we have alot of parents there to support the children.

This Friday is our last day at AFL. Although we had a few days get rained out, everyone has enjoyed learning the sport and is showing great sportsmanship and knowledge of the techniques when playing games.

Our group boardgames are coming along nicely and should be almost finished by Friday. Some of the ideas and questions that groups are coming up with are very original and intelligent. Well done to all the groups! Keep up the excellent use of our group work skills 3D.

I would like to thank all of the parents and helpers for their tremendous support and generosity this term. Thank you,

Miss Denham

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.

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