Room 3 have been super busy all term!

Throughout the term the students have done an unbelievable job when participating in learning all about how the colonial development and settlement impacted Australia’s First Peoples. As a whole class they researched how Indigenous Australians lived prior to settlement and then discovered the changes that were made once the settlers arrived. The students consolidated their learning by creating dioramas that depicted both pre and post colonisation.

Room 3 have been lucky to attend Cooking lessons at Beldon Education Support Centre every Monday where we have cooked delicious healthy foods and smoothies/juices. The students have each kept a logbook of the recipes, written about their experiences, and rated the food and drinks out of 10.

During Talk for Writing the class enjoyed completing their own story maps and writing individualised versions of the story 'The Papaya that Spoke'. Once they had written their stories, they typed final copies and edited them with the teachers. They managed to even include Minecraft into Talk for Writing by creating a world that included all the characters and settings from the story.

During Literacy each child chose a topic of interest to research. They have been working hard to fact check their research and have created awesome PowerPoints to support the presentations that they will be finishing this week. They are looking forward to all practicing their speaking and listening skills while presenting and also while being the best audiences ever.
