Week 1, Term 4

 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.
