Term 3

Back at school for Term 3 and what a great term it is going to be. Mrs Grace is really excited about getting to know us all in Room 8 and we have some really interesting topics lined up.

Our focus is 'Culture and Community' so we are going to look at ways we can help our own community and also research some other cultures and communities around the world.

 

On Tuesday, in Mandarin, we learnt how to say the seasons of the year.

In Maths we are learning about co-ordinates and maps which ties in nicely with our work on community.

We have had quite a celebratory week with Xavier and Sophie both having a birthday.

Life Education

The Life Education bus came to Milton Primary school recently. Pip and Harold, the puppet giraffe, were teaching us important words like “Identity” and “Reputation.” Identity means how you see yourself and reputation means how other people see you. We talked about how we need to keep our behavior “above the line” which is where all sorts of positive behaviours and attitudes can be found. Everything we discussed linked in nicely with our school values of “Respect and Responsibility.” Our last session was spent on dealing with the issue of cyber safety and we learnt some important tips about how to keep ourselves safe when we are online.We all had fun in the Life Education bus and we look forward to it returning again next year!!!
