Year 3

Year 3 students have relished the opportunities to explore hands-on Mathematics investigations this term. Our new Mathematics syllabus encourages us to make connections between content while focusing on big ideas. We began our recent unit of work by looking at packaging and exploring three-dimensional nets. We then connected that learning to estimating and measuring the internal volume of three dimensional objects. We challenged ourselves to convert between litres and millilitres and reflected on the many ways our new learning is relevant in real-life application. 

Year 3 students were excited to visit the Life Education van this term to meet Healthy Harold. Our lesson focus was The Inside Story where we investigated the benefits of healthy food, the functions of the body systems and factors that influence physical health such as exercise and medicines. This learning will be built upon in our Personal Development and Health lessons. The students enjoyed meeting Healthy Harold and made connections to how they can make healthy choices each day.
