Polding Learning Community Year 3
Year 3 Blog

Welcome to Weeks 9 and 10! Hard to believe that the end of Term 3 is just around the corner and another great term of Year 3 is in the bank. In this coming fortnight we have some important dates to note. Tuesday 15th is our Year 3 excursion to Swell. On the day we will leave around 10:30am and be home around 2:30pm so the students can arrive and depart school as normal. Please ensure your child has their correct school uniform and most definitely their hat, as well as a fully packed lunchbox and water bottle. It looks like a warm, sunny day on forecast so we will ensure the children are prepared with sunscreen. All the extra information for the excursion can be found on Compass.

The Music Spectacular will be on Thursday 24th, with doors opening at 6pm. The performance is coming together well and we can't wait to put it on show in a fortnights time. See image below for costume ideas, we have been asked to wear sport clothes and accessorise with big hair and rock accessories. Enjoy the day off on the Friday following and an early start to the holidays. 

During Weeks 9 and 10 we will be focusing on measurement in Mathematics, in particular measuring mass using grams and kilograms, and measuring length using centimetres and millimetres. In English we will continue reading 'Sadako and a Thousand Paper Cranes' and focusing on perspective and context. In Religion our learning is around relationships and sharing God's love. Our next lessons will explore ours and others gifts that God has given us and we will unpack the Gospel reading from Luke 7: 36-50 'Jesus recognises the gift of each person.'

Local Community Police Project. We have been gifted two surfboards to decorate as part of a local community art exhibition. If you are able to help with donations of shells, please deliver these to the school office.

Join us at St Joseph’s church this Sunday to celebrate Fr. Michael’s Jubilee. Please refer to the flyer in the parent resource tab for more information.
