Year 3 - 6 Class
Hi all,
This term has been a cracking and positive start to the year.
To begin with, I would like to welcome our new students, Esme, Liam and Noah, to the 3-6 class. It has been great getting to know them and watching them settle into Hawker Area School.
In English, we have been looking at sentences structures, different types of sentences and poetry. This week the students will start creating a anthology of poems, using the skills they have learned.
Maths has seen us moving on from place value to fractions and the kids are working amazingly well in this topic. We are also focusing on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division strategies as well.
In science we are still working on Biology with the students investigating living things. We have covered living vs non-living, what living things need to grow and survive and how changes to an environment can affect living things.
In home economics we have made biscuits and savoury scrolls in the kitchen and looked at water pollution in sustainability. The kids are building up their skills in typing and becoming more confident in sending and receiving emails in computing lessons.
In health and PE we have been looking into how physical activity can help improve mental health and the kids have taken on a sit-up challenge to see if we can collectively complete 2700 sit-ups before the end of the term. So far, we have made an impressive start.
HASS has had us look at Australia and it's states and flags, natural and sustainable resources and what to do in a bushfire or flood.
It has been a wonderful start to the year and I look forward to learning more and teaching your children as the year progresses.
