In Year 3 we certainly have been busy. Our lessons in Religion have been all about the Beatitudes and how we can live our best life. The students have even been learning a song about how to share the love and light that is within us. After we attended the Ash Wednesday liturgy we were definitely on our way to begin our Lenten journey.  The students have been busy reflecting on how we can show love around us. During our English lessons we are continuing to focus on our fluency during reading as well as descriptive language for our narrative writing. We know that we need to make our writing as interesting as it can be and to do that we need to use a variety of adjectives, verbs and nouns. In Maths we have been revising our addition and subtraction strategies and learning how to bundle and chunk our numbers so we can add or subtract quickly. Our Geography lessons have been full of mapping skills. The students have been discovering the importance of mapping conventions and how to design a map. Our neighbouring countries have been discovered while working out their locations through orienteering. This week we have had 16 out of 21 students at school 95% or more of the time. This is great to see!
