Year 3 has experienced an inspiring, exciting and interactive beginning to Term 1. On Friday 14 February the students experienced a day of exploration through literature, kinesthetic activities and STEM. Underlying this experiential day was the purpose of forming strong friendships with our new students and renewing existing ones within the grade. The day started by using an analogy \u2013 how can a bridge connect and build relationships? Students explored ways to form human bridges in mixed groups and problem solved ways to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this, students engaged in a STEM task which involved planning and making a structure in a small group with limited resources. The goal was to design a structure that would support a special friend \u2013 a soft toy. This task stretched students’ thinking while navigating their group work skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude the day, Year 3 recorded skills gained on colourful strips of paper, then constructed a paper chain to create another bridge. This encouraged a sense of belonging for all students in Year 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
