Term 3

Welcome all to Term 3!

I hope everyone had a fantastic break and it's been great to see everyone.
Almost at the end of week 2 and we are all settled in once again! In maths we have been learning all about probability. We move onto ratios and proportions (fractions) from week 3 and this will cover most of the term. I'm looking forward to having lots of fun dicing and slicing things into halves, quarters, eighths, fifths, thirds... and I could go on!

In reading we have begun to learn about a new reading strategy called summarising. It's a fantastic strategy, especially when year 3's are beginning to read longer texts.

In writing, we have been focusing on brainstorming and giving exciting new words a go. The vocabulary Room 12 has been coming up with has been amazing! Let's not forget the importance of making sure we have full stops and capitals though..

Finally, our inquiry this term is called 'Fun with Friends', and we will be focusing on lots of different aspects of games. At the moment, we have been following the Commonwealth Games.

As you know, learning conferences are very quickly coming up next Wednesday and Thursday. Please do let me know if none of the available times left suit you.

Lastly, I took a number of photos from our market day. These have been posted below.
