Term 3 News Update

-

Hello readers,

 

Our names are Charlotte M and Jana. We are going to be filling you in on what we have been working on during the start of Term 3.
 
Literacy
During our Literacy, we have been completing our weekly spelling, reading strategies and several writing techniques. Each day we have been engaging in literacy rotations where each group is reading a different novel. After we have read a chapter, we answer questions about the book. We also have a class novel that we are trying to get through by the end of this Term. We love reading in Room 25!
 
Maths
During our measurement sessions, we have been focusing on measuring capacity, volume area and perimeter. In number, we have been learning how to convert equivalent decimals, fractions and percentages. For example: 1/4 = 25% = 0.25.
 
HASS
During HASS, we have learnt about refugees, migrants, federation and democracy. Refugees are people who are forced to leave their country because of war or danger. Migrants are people who move freely from one place to another. We also learnt that Australia is a representative democracy. Sir Henry Parkes is the Father of Federation and is famous for his speech called Tenterfield Oration.

Science
In Science, we are learning about energy sources and electricity. Primary energy sources come from renewable and non-renewable sources. Electricity is a secondary energy source.
 
Lastly, we would like to congratulate our new Student Representatives for Term 3: Kiara, Kai, Kobe, Parth, Natalia and Rowain! :)

Term 2 News Update Hello readers, Welcome back to a new term. Our names are Nelia and Amelie, and we will be filling you in on what has been happening so far in Term 2. We are now in Week 4 and we have learnt many things in the areas of of Literacy, Maths, Science and HASS. During our Literacy lessons this week we have been focusing on the suffixes –ion and –ness and the many rules that go with them. There are four rules for adding ‘ion’ and one rule for adding ‘ness’. In reading we’ve been looking at how character traits (for example: bossy, smart, shy, tall, etc) are revealed in narrative texts. In writing, we have been learning how to write a quest narrative using characterisation.  In addition to Literacy is Mathematics. In Measurement, we have been focusing on prism’s and pyramid’s and their differences to each other. We have also been drawing different 3D shapes and expanding our knowledge on their features (such as vertices, edges and faces). In number, we have learnt the method

These strategies have helped us in our overall comprehension and in preparation for our big write every Thursday.
