Term 3

Welcome to term 3. We have had a busy start to term 3 having already been on an excursion to bowling and the planetarium. People from Taekwon Do have come to visit us to teach us about self defence and we had a Aboriginal performer for NAIDOC week. We have also begun Dance Fever and are getting very good at remembering all the complicated steps each week.
Coming up this term we have Tball. We will be learning Tball as our Friday morning sport this term. We also have our excursion to the Ekka (if you have not yet completed the forms and paid for this excursion please do so asap). Starting next week we will be doing our food storage investigations.

So far this term we have had four student of the days. They have been Mia,
Aiden,Ben. S.,Charlotte,and Mackinley.
I am very impressed with the effort everyone has been putting into their school work so far this term. I hope that everyone keeps up the great work. Miss Denham

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
