Preparing for Year 4
Being the final term of Year 3, Room 15 will be focusing on
preparing students as they transition into Year 4 next year. It has been great
to see the level of enthusiasm towards demonstrating appropriate behaviour, as
well as a willingness to achieve and take pride in their learning. The
following weeks will be aimed at ensuring that students are achieving their
best, and become excited for what adventures will take place for them next
year.
Swimming Lessons
This term, our swimming lessons will take place during week
9 and 10. A letter will be sent out shortly explaining any key details and
information which will need to be filled out. This should be a very exciting
and useful time for the students to learn key water safety and swimming skills
essential for life.
Super Scientist
Week 5 will see the students of Room 15 deliver their Super
Scientist presentations. I am looking forward to hearing about all the unique
science topics! Please encourage your child to practise at home to become more
confident with presenting. Remember, the students are encouraged to not only
present us with amazing information, but to also tell us why their topic is so
unique and special! For those who may have misplaced the note, here are the
details below:
They are required to
research and present their information to the class in a short presentation (2
to 5 minutes). Students are allowed to use resources such as posters, charts,
props and PowerPoint to support their presentation.
Students are
encouraged to explore and explain why their topic is interesting and unique,
rather than simply stating facts. They are expected to reword information they
find, demonstrating a deeper understanding of their topic. Students are
encouraged to rehearse their presentations so that they feel confident.
