We had our Year 3 camp!
There was a bit of rain...

Thanks SO much to all of our wonderful parent helpers, 
you were fantastic!

Term 4 Week 4

We collected rubbish that we found lying around the school
We only did it for four days and found 100 pieces of rubbish!
So each day about 25 people decided just to leave their rubbish on the ground instead of taking a short walk to 
a rubbish bin....very disappointing.

Term 4 Week 3

 We put our thinking hats on and solve more problems in algebra.
 As part of our unit on healthy eating we take 
a look at the school garden 
and browse through supermarket brochures to see 
what's on offer locally.

Munch, munch, munch....food fresh from the school garden is SOOO good for you!

Term 4 Week 2

 We study algebra with hands-on puzzles that all have a secret code to be found.
We discovered that to build 3 step, 4 step and 5 step staircases you needed 9 blocks, 16 blocks and 25 blocks...so the code to find the number of blocks we needed was: 
the number of steps multiplied by itself, so a 10 step staircase would need 100 blocks!
 Finding the answers needed a LOT of trial and error, 
persistence was the key!
 The students make sure the tadpoles get breakfast each day 
so they keep growing!
