Welcome back!
to Term 3!
The 4T students returned to school after a chilly winter break with many holiday stories. Most used the time for relaxation, catching up with friends or even escaping the cold and flying to somewhere warm.
Once again, Term 3 is packed full of many exciting learning opportunities including:
-
Weekly coding lessons with our resident expert Melinda
-
Life Ed Van
-
Science experiments
-
House and Chapel services
-
‘Social Justice’ Day
-
Fundraising and shopping for the Salvation Army
-
‘Design Your Own’ Experiment science project
-
Visits from science experts and using the senior school science labs
-
Tabloid Sports
-
Visit to Yarralee aged care home
-
Meet the Scientist afternoon
It would come as no surprise that 4T hit the ground running and we have already started some wonderful new topics including division, applying our knowledge of sizzling starts to persuasive writing and our new Integrated topic, ‘Material Matters.’
To kick off our science topic, we ran an experiment called the ‘Clothes Relay’ to understand the importance of conducting ‘fair tests.’ We discovered that every test, or in this case a relay has variables. Variables are the things that can change. But, to make the relay fair we had to have fixed variables. For the relay to be fair we had to make sure that there were equal amounts of clothes (including types and sizes), equal distances to run and equal amounts of team members.

It is great to be back at school! I loved walking into the classroom and seeing lots of happy faces. Anyway I am so curious about fair tests because I want to learn more about fixed variables.

Term 3 I can see will be very busy! We have a lot of activities this term.
I am looking forward to knowing more about Science and the different types of scientists. I know there are about 3 but I don’t know them very well.
What are you looking forward to in this term and why?
Have a great day!

I hope you had a relaxing holiday even if you stayed home or went somewhere. I had a great holiday but I didn’t go anywhere. It was really cold in Melbourne so our family had our heater on every day of the holidays!
I am excited to learn about physical science.
What are you excited about this term?

Term 3 sure looks like a jam packed term! I look forward to almost everything in the weeks. The majority of things look fantastic and I am bursting to find out more!
The one thing that I am looking forward to the most is definitely all the science talks and learning all the amazing facts that are yet to come!
I hope all of your term is amazing and full of awesome things! Do you think Harold will kiss me again?!
Bye for now, Alice!

I also just got back from my holiday! Unfortunately my dog died at the start. But then I went on a trip to Sydney and Bungendore.
I am excited to hear about what science experiments you guys will be doing in class! Remember to not become a Crazy Scientist!

Learning about variables was fun and I mostly liked the game because it had a lessone and, it was really funny watching all the people put the close on.
It was a little hard to figure out what a variables was but when we broke the word up it was easy.
Im exited about the life Ed Van. Can’t what until I hear from you agian.

When I was on the cold holidays I went to Penang in Malaysia. When we got out of the airport and into the freezing cold Melbourne, I wished we could be back in the warmth.
I’m really excited to know how to conduct an experiment of my own for the end of term. I would love to know how to conduct an experiment because then I wouldn’t struggle at the end of this term.
I would also like to learn more about what a physical test is and a chemical test is. This I would love to know because it would be really interesting to learn.
I can’t wait for the Life Ed Van too!
I wonder what science experiments we are going to conduct this term?
From Stephanie.

Term 3 sounds really fun even if it is a short term there are alot of things on and material matters sounds like a fun topic.
It sounds as if there are so many good expierences to learn.
