News from Amaroo Gold:

The first few weeks of Term 3 have been incredibly busy and fun for Amaroo Gold. We have been participating in the Sports Ready Program each week and learning new games and skills.

Sports Ready and PE helped us get ready for our school Athletics carnival which was lots of fun!

We also celebrated Grandparents Day, with many of our grandparents spending time in our classrooms. They loved our creative portraits.

We also had fun supporting the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal by wearing our pyjamas to school and donating a gold coin.

Amaroo Blue

In Amaroo Blue this term we have been focusing on information texts and building a tiered level of vocabulary to use when writing. We have been building our tiered vocabulary across all Key Learning Areas. Our students have investigated the difference between imaginative and informative texts and we have worked hard to build our knowledge of spelling patterns and rules.

The students have loved engaging in our Science Unit “States of Matter” learning about how molecules affect the states of solids , liquids, gas and plasma. we have viewed YouTube clips , moved like molecules and been introduced to many new Science words

Sports Ready has seen the students from Amaroo join other students in the school for lessons that are developing skills involving sportsmanship and teamwork along with many gross motor skills.

Learning Support Centre

We have had a great start to Term 3 in the LSC. It is wonderful to see so many smiling faces coming through the door each day! All students have been working hard on improving their reading and writing skills. Our older students have been working on some tricky math’s concepts, including angles and fractions. Our younger students have become experts with numbers to 100! Cooking class is always a hit, with some yummy additions such as Mars Bar Slice and Dutch Pancakes. Delicious!
