Learning

In Term 1, the Grade 3 students are focusing on the following:

• Reading – Students are reading Matilda this term with a focus on comprehension and understanding. They are also practicing their fluency reading each day focusing on pace, accuracy and tone of voice.
• Writing – Students are learning about sentence structure, emphasizing the use of verbs and adjectives to build engaging sentences. They will use their new learnt knowledge to create a published narrative story towards the end of the term. Students will also learn various skills of poetry with an emphasis on Michael Rosen the poet.
• Numeracy – Students are learning number fluency facts to 20 practising fact recall. They are also learning two-digit addition and subtraction using various strategies and place value skills with 4-digit numbers. Students will also be involved with hands-on activities relating to informal and formal measurement, calendars and 2D-shape.
• Inquiry – Our Inquiry Unit this term is History. The students will explore the historical features and diversity of their community as represented by symbols and emblems of significance and the different celebrations and commemorations held in Australia. They will investigate the origins of our state and national emblems and flags and also conduct an inquiry process on a significant Australian celebration or commemoration, for example, Anzac Day.
