Wow! What a pleasure it was to witness 3A’s class assembly. It was clear to see that the students thoroughly enjoyed performing and sharing their learning about the different body systems. Well done 3A!

It has been a very busy week in Year 3. The children have been extremely productive with regards to displaying and presenting their learning in a variety of ways. It has been lovely to see all the children engaged and eagerly talking among their peers about their expert systems. Next week is sure to be an exciting one and the children are looking forward to sharing their learning with their classmates.

The interaction between body systems helps us to keep healthy and survive.

Lines of Inquiry

  1. How the body systems work (Function)
  2. Interdependence and independence between the body systems (Connection)
  3. Impact of lifestyle choices on the body systems (Responsibility)

This week the children decided how they would display their learning. They have been very creative and have chosen a variety of ways to showcase their knowledge. Next week, the children will present the information that they have gathered from the research sessions to their classmates.

Multiplication and Division are related and are used to solve problems.
The children will inquire into:
  • The roles of symbols and the language of multiplication  and division
  • Mental and written strategies for multiplication and division
  • The relationship between multiplication and division

This week the children have been exploring mental multiplication strategies and enjoyed playing the double-double game.

In Strand Maths, the children were exploring the concept of mass and will continue to inquire into measurement next week. Talk to your child about the relationship between grams and kilograms and what ‘hefting’ means.

 The comprehension key we have been focusing on has been determining importance.

In Information Literacy the children have continued their work with Ms Jeves by learning about the three different types of muscles. The children used the ‘Draw it/ recall it’ visible thinking tool to help them recall key information.
