What’s new in 3A

If you were to walk into the 3A classroom at any given time, you would be met with many scientists, authors, historians, mathematicians and engaged readers. This term has been jam packed with students developing their Science inquiry skills whilst looking at how M n M’s react to being placed in water and how changing the variables can affect the outcomes. They have also learnt the importance of fair testing and safety. Each student showed impeccable teamwork when conducting Science investigations in their roles of directors, managers and speakers. Moving forward, students are mastering the art of posing questions in Science and HASS. In English, students are honing their persuasive skills as they work towards writing a paragraph about why an iguana would or wouldn’t be an absolutely fantastic pet. They have been using exaggeration, facts, rhetorical questions, evaluative adjectives, modal verbs and adverbs to convince an audience of their point of view. They truly are the best students in the whole universe!

Reading groups are going from strength to strength, with students focusing on reading and literacy skills that will assist them in their current English assessment. They really are ACE students and have clearly demonstrated what it means to be Brave (enough to try), Bold (enough to ask for help) and Unique (be the best them that they can be). They have wholeheartedly embraced the You Can Do It! Program and the Zones of Regulation in our classroom and are beginning to develop their skills to be confident, organised, persistent, and resilient learners who get along with others. I cannot wait to see what the rest of this term has in store for these incredibly talented learners. 3A you truly are awesome!
