Book Week

This week we are celebrating Book Week at our school. Last night we had a storytelling night, which was a huge success. We had a sausage sizzle, listened to some great stories and enjoyed a milo and a biscuit. Today we dressed up as our favourite book character and had a school parade.

Mad Scientists!!!

Today in Year Three we had the opportunity to experience a High School Science lesson. Mr P came into our class and taught us all about chemical changes. We looked at ice turning from a solid to a liquid (water) to a gas (steam). We did this by using the tripod, bunser burner and a beaker. We also got to explore using gases and a flame to create a noise. We had the best time, we remembered to stay safe and wear our protective glasses. We can't wait for our next lesson.

Term 3 - Water Wise

This term in Year Three we are learning to become more water wise. We are rearching facts about conserving water and how we can make a difference. So far we have made a list of ways in which we can save water and we are in the process of making posters to hang around our school. Water is such a precious resource and if we don't show others how they can do their bit now - we'll have no water in the future.

Stay posted to see our Water works around the school.......

The New Year 3 Class

Hello, Finally we have managed to update our profile and introduce ourselves. We are the new Yr 3 class which make up the Blogbusters. We have 28 students in our class this year, 4 of which are new to our school. This term we have a student teacher in our class called Miss B.

So much has happened so far this year:
~ some of us celebrated our First Reconciliation last term
~ we are already training for the school cross country which will be held on the last day of term.
~ we are still supporting our adoptive orang-utans, this term we are participating in a competition to help save the rainforests.
~ we are focusing on the topic of Farming this term, we have already made some wonderings which we hope to discover through our guest speakers and Barb Babes visit. We are having a farm day at school where will start the day with a farm breakfast, animals will visit and we will have a barn dance.
~ Next Thursday is Sorry Day, we will celebrate by beginning the day with a special service and by wearing the Aboriginal colours - black, red and yellow.

We promise to keep you updated on our class work more regularly from now on :)
