Our new measurement station is leading to spontaneous investigations into lightest, heaviest, balanced and unbalanced as students go about their regular daily routines. In a similar way, some of our students are enjoying exploring patterns with different materials while others spend time learning about different textures, sizes and weights of familiar things.  

We have continued our explorations into forces by looking at movement in living and non-living things and getting crafty on our windows. So far, we have hot air balloons, butterflies, kites and lanterns but we also took time out to enjoy some rabbit and bilby themed activities as we get ready for the Easter break.

We said “goodbye” to weekly swimming lessons and look forward to filling that spot next term with other physical activities in the outdoor learning space. Our communication strategies continue to grow and the whole class responds well to knowing what comes next by following the visual time-table. One of our class mates has taken on the morning task of asking the teachers “who’s here today” and happily demonstrates how it should be done if we forget an important step. Another maintains the calendar and checks off the day, date and month on a printed calendar before updating the notice board. He then goes outside to check the weather and has been known to rush inside during break time to change the symbol from sunny to raining to keep us on top of what is happening outside.

As we pack up our school bags for the last time until Monday, 19^th of April, we wish you a safe break and look forward to hearing all of your holiday news soon.

Until next time, all the best from

Team JS3, Miss Jodie, Miss Emma and Miss Dana
