News from Year 3 

In Year 3, the students have been busy for the last couple of weeks working on their Christmas speeches in English. They are looking forward to presenting them this week and in week 9 in front of parents and classmates. 

In Maths, Year 3 have been working on money in addition and subtraction with one of the activities being to organise a Christmas party and to plan and budget for all of the necessary items. Last week they were exploring chance and working on the expected results of a variety of experiments. 

News from Year 4 

In Year 4, the students have been busy revising their learnt knowledge in preparation for our transition into year 5. We had a maths competition that involved a lot of teamwork! 

We split into two teams, then we had to run and grab an equation from the middle of the playground and run it back to our team to solve. Once we solved the equation together we began to make our paper chains. The team with the longest chain at the end of the game was the winner! There were some impressive chains made and Mrs Smede, Mr Cervonaro and Miss Blunden have never seen such motivation for mathematics before!

We are looking forward to celebrating Advent and ending our year 4 journey together in the next few weeks.
