Year 3 has had an excellent start to the term! In Science, the students are very engaged in their learning and have been identifying digital systems and peripheral devices. They have even designed their own peripheral device. Some of their ideas would certainly come in handy!

This term I have enjoyed place value because I like maths and every time we do it the teacher always makes it fun for us, while we do it we get to play fun maths games. By Alessia

I have enjoyed learning about HSIE. in HSIE we have been learning about different people that live in different countries. They also describe where they live and what their house looks like. By Summer

News from Year 4

In english students are exploring the mentor concept of ‘characterisation’ through a deep analysis of the text Evie and Rhino. Throughout the unit the students are developing a deeper understanding of characterisation through the author’s use of evocative and emotive descriptive language that aids the plot development. The setting and environmental perspective allow for a deepening understanding of sustainable practices notably in animal welfare.

In term 4 students who are demonstrating proficient writing in their books have been given their pen licence, we hope you have been shown your child’s licence as they are very proud to receive them!

Today students have completed their first day of tennis, lots of fun and handballs going everywhere except over the net! Hopefully they will have mastered it for next week
