Year 3

It has been a positive start to the term in Year 3 with great learning taking place across all areas of the curriculum. In Mathematics, students have enjoyed using concrete materials to explore mathematical concepts of place value, patterns and multiplication. In English, students have embraced the concept of genre whilst exploring mentor texts about Antarctica and the incredible oceans of the world. Year 3 have particularly enjoyed our Literature Appreciation lessons with Ms Doonan in the Library. This term, these lessons support the students’ knowledge, understanding and appreciation of different types of genres and techniques authors use to achieve their intended purpose.

Year 3 are looking forward to their excursion to the Sydney Wild Life Zoo this Friday 17th May to deepen their understanding of animal classifications and habitats. We are very grateful for parents who have volunteered their time to help out on the day and we look forward to sharing our learning from this excursion in our next issue of Veritas Voice.
