Welcome to Term 3! We have had a fantastic start to the term with Pyjama Day and Quorn Sports Day, with lots of other fun activities to be had throughout the term. 

We have been busy in class as well. 

In Maths, the students have been looking at fractions. We have learned how to sort fractions and how to turn improper fractions into mixed numbers. Later we will be learning how to convert them into decimal points and percentages.

English has seen us looking at informational texts. This has started off by learning how to make sentences from minimal information and then producing paragraphs to make a full informational text on a country. 

In Science, the Year 3/4s have been looking at living things vs non-living things and at different kingdoms and classifications. The Year 5/6s have been looking at habitats and adaptation plants and animals need to undergo in order to survive. 

We are continuing the Child Protection Curriculum in Health which has seen us looking at how to recognise and respond to abuse.  The Year 5/6s will also be looking at what changes the body undergoes during puberty. 

In HASS we have been looking at the differences between celebrations and commemorations and what events are celebrated and commemorated in Australia and around the world. 

The students have been busy, working in groups, and designing three course meals to cook in Home Economics. We have already completed the first menu with great success and are looking forward to trying the other two menus that have been planned.
