During our Science lessons with our student teacher Mr Vazquez Sanchez, we
have been learning about Moon Phases.
Did you know that there are eight different phases which the moon cycles
through every 29.5 days?
In class, Year 3 students created a "Phases of the Moon" book using white
crayons and water paints.
These books will help us remember all the phases and what they look like!
We have LOVED our Science lessons this term with our student teacher and
Mr Hatcher!
Thank you, everyone!

As part of their Geography unit, Year 3 students are studying Australia and
all the small towns scattered across our great southern land. Acting as travel
guides, our boys must do online research and evaluate information found for
accuracy, importance and social context. Our students are doing their own
research assignments in the computer lab, with the end result being a slideshow
presentation at the end of the term. They also need to find some pictures
that will encourage us to visit their town.
We look forward to our travel expo and seeing what our young travel agents
have discovered!

Parliament House is a surprising winner with the students. The Parliamentary
Education Office ran a mock bill-passing event where the students participated
as Members of Parliament. This required them to read from pre-prepared
scripts and to come up with their own arguments for and against the
proposed bill.
Questacon, always a hit with the students, has had a makeover. The lightning
and earthquake area, the construction area and the new “light” activities
are just as popular as ever.
The Dinosaur Museum comes ALIVE at night and gives visitors a new perspective
on this amazing time in our earth’s history.
The War Memorial, whilst a place for sombre recollection, gives students the
opportunity to understand Australia’s place in the world and the numerous
conflicts it has been involved in.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians
being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship
education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion, the
Australian Government is contributing funding of $20 per student under the
Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program. The rebate is paid directly
to the school upon completion of the excursion.
Overall, a great time was had by all. Special thanks go to the teachers for
their professionalism and for sharing the load over the three long days and to
those boys whose good behaviour and offers of assistance made the trip so
enjoyable.
