2/3S Term 3 News




2/3S have had a very busy and exciting term. We have enjoyed art lessons and have made some beautiful artworks. We enjoyed making our Father’s Day presents and cards. Our Dad’s were very impressed with our hand made gifts.

We have done two video conferences this term. We participated in a video conference with Frances Watts. She read some of her picture books to us. She talked about the writing, editing and publishing process. We also participated in a video conference about the air, atmosphere and weather. This was presented by the CSIRO.

We are looking forward to our excursion to the Dubbo Zoo next week. We will put a bolg up when we return.

2/3S have participated in their first video conference! The students participated well and really enjoyed connecting with other schools and our presenter, Dhinawan. After the conference the students were asked to write a recount. One was chosen to publish:

Video Conference

On Thursday the 26th of March 1/2M and 2/3S participated in a video conference. The presenter was Dhinawan and he taught us some things about Aboriginal culture through dance and games.

We got to ask questions about his culture. Jenna asked how the didgeridoo was made Dhinawan told us that you cut a hollow part off a string bark tree then pour hot water through the middle to remove any insects that may be in there. Then you take the bark off the outside. After that you get the woman to paint it. I didn’t want to ask a question but it was fun.

We saw other schools like Forbes during the video conference. We got to learn some dance and games. They were really fun. One was where we were rocking like a canoe. Other classes asked questions too. It was fun!

2/3S Week 6

2/3S have had a busy and productive start to the year. Our classroom is full of beautiful artwork. We have enjoyed learning about frogs and have had pet frogs in our classroom. However, they are mysteriously disappearing each night - perhaps they are escape artists! We have made a frog PowerPoint and are looking forward to showing parents during 3 way interviews later this term. We are getting ready to write our own information report on endangered animals and have been busy learning what it means to be in danger and how we can help to protect our wildlife.

On Shrove Tuesday 2/3S made pancakes with 1/2M. They were very yummy and some students made pancakes at home using Mrs Smith's secret recipe!
