Zoo Excursion

Last week our class went on an excursion to the Zoo! We got to participate in a lesson all about animal classification, which was fantastic because it is what we have been learning about in class. We got to help classify a new creature that was found at the zoo! We even got to touch a snake and blue tongue lizard. We were all very brave, unlike Mrs S. 

After we had our lesson we got to explore the Zoo and find out many interesting facts about different animals. 

We all had a brilliant day. A big thank you to Mel, Sharline, Krishelle and Julie for being amazing parent helpers.

Class Breakfast

Dear Parents,

As we have swimming over the next 2 weeks, our class has decided that we will have a class breakfast to celebrate the end of the year! This will be held on Wednesday 13th of December and start at 9am, so please don’t have breakfast on this day.

As a class, we created a list of breakfast foods and have put the list up on the class door. I will also put a copy on the blog for those parents who can’t make it into our class. The list includes fruit salad, yoghurt, pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, toasted sandwiches, bread, fruit toast, cereals, juice and milk. If you could discuss with your child what breakfast item you will bring and write it down on the list. This way we avoid double ups. As it is at the start of the day, I am asking that all food be brought in hot as we have limited heating facilities.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Mrs Caris Szczepanik

Book Return

As we are fast approaching the end of the year, I encourage you to please double check that you don’t have any class or library books still at home. We have quite a few books missing and a lot of overdue library books. These all need to be returned ASAP.

Thank you!

Important Swimming Notes

Our class starts swimming next week and we can't wait! To make sure we are all ready to go please read the below notes very carefully.

- You are to come to school with your bathers under your school uniform and with the correct school shoes on. If board shorts need to be put on, these will have to stay in your school bag until it is time to go swimming.

- In a plastic bag labelled clearly with your name you need your towel, goggles and thongs. We will change our shoes at school, so please remember to pack thongs in your bag.

- All items must be clearly labelled with your name. It is your responsibility to ensure you have all your belongings before we go to the pool and leaving the pool.

- We will be eating our lunch at recess time and then once we get back from the pool you will eat your recess. This is so we have enough energy to swim our best.

If you have any questions please some and see me prior to swimming starting.

Thank you,

Mrs Szczepanik

A huge congratulations to all the incredible Year 3s of Room 16 for the ginormous effort that you all put into your Science presentations. I learnt so many incredible facts about your choosen animal. Well done!

I would also like to thank all the fabulous parents of Room 16 who helped prepare for these amazing presentations. Thank you for your ongoing support!
