We have a very busy Term 3 planned for our students. We are completing our morning English routine as usual. The literature we are using for our books of the week will be related to Pets. We have chosen some interesting and fun texts and some old favourites like, “Who Sank the Boat?” which should engage our students interests. The boys have been participating in sensory activities as part of their English learning. These are fun activities such as making slime with corn flour, using shaving cream, mixing pudding mix to mold letters and condensed milk with food colouring to paint their Letters of the Week or Words of the Week. So when they come home with blue hands or flour on their clothes, you know what they’ve been up to!  

 In maths, we are continuing with number, particularly counting goals and looking at 2D shapes and 3D objects. In science, we are observing the features and behaviour of small animals, including insects and mini beasts! Initially, we are establishing the difference between living and non-living things and how we, as humans, grow and change. Our boys will observe the external features of small animals leading to a better understanding of how their features change as they grow, to help them survive in their habitats. Our HPE unit will have a health and physical component as usual. Our specialist teachers will again be taking HASS, Music and STEM. So our students will have many communication partners and interesting learning environments to encourage their learning.

Thanks for your support,

Libby, Andrew, Jan, Chrissie, Emma, Jordan, Miss A, Chris, Jodie and all the boys!
