Year 3
This is the first year that students are part of the senior school. This means that they can now participate in their first athletics carnival,cross country championships,join the school choir and complete ICAS competitions.
The Year 3 camp is at Adanac camp,Yarra Junction for one night, in Term 3. This is their first camp and we encourage all students to attend,to give them opportunities to learn many important life skills.
Our school student well being program is based on the Resilience, Rights & Respectful relationships program and we continue to develop mindfulness strategies for personal wellbeing.
We offer many exciting incursions and excursions that link to our main area of investigation for the term. Aboriginal studies are linked to literacy learning. Science learning covers Effects of adding and removing heat (Chemical) and Rotation and Erosion ( Earth and Space). Technology learning investigates Forces used to create movement. Health learning covers Healthy habits - medicines, food choices and daily routines. Geography learning covers Significant places in Australia. History learning covers Changes over time in the local community and Significant celebrationsand commemorations from around the world.
The Year 3 coding program teaches EV3, making simple machines with lego and LightBot, a puzzle game based on coding that teaches programming logic.
Our Year 3 'Swim and Survive' program is a water safety incursion, conducted by trained lifesavers.
Other activities will be placed on the Year 3 blog, as they occur.
