Summer is well and truly underway and the girls have been working really well doing lots of interesting and fun activities in Term 3.

In Maths we were learning about graphs and so the girls took some time out of the classroom and went investigating the number and colour of cars that passed out school in a 10  minute period. We started with a tally chart and afterwards we created a pictogram to show the results.  It definitely beat sitting in the classroom!

We were learning about milk in Geography – From grass to glass!  The girls found some interesting information about the product that they enjoy most days.  We also made connections with our Science and SPHE class, as calcium in milk is so important for healthy bones and teeth.  To finish we all enjoyed a simple glass of milk.  The following week, we took over the staff kitchen to make some very tasty milkshakes!

We also enjoyed a Zumba class during Wellbeing Week, thanks to Rachel.  The girls absolutely loved it as you can see….

It was such an enjoyable week with so many lovely activities organised by Mrs. Shanahan and the Wellbeing Warriors.  We had meditation, team building exercises, bright colours day and much more. 

The girls have been really creative in Art class in Term 3 and created some very funny and entertaining sock puppets.  They also created some beautiful landscapes for ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ poem.  They learned a little about ‘Print’ in Art class too and how to create some wonderful and bright landscapes by printing.  The girls also figured out how to make a kite from various materials.  And of course we had to test whether they would fly….and they did!

The girls have been learning about the life cycle of a plant in Science and also writing a Procedural genre in English.  Along with this we have been experimenting to see what a seed needs to germinate.  They girls made their predictions and we set up out experiment.  We will find out this week what we can learn from the experiment!

We also planted some seeds for our outdoor learning area – Garden peas, courgette, and mixed leaf lettuce.

What a busy Term 3 so far.  And we have lots more exciting and fun learning experiences ahead over the last few weeks of school.  Enjoy the sunny weather and ask the girls what they have learned about being Sunsmart in this sunny weather!
