Investigating crunchy crisp apples with Year 3.

  • August 25, 2021

  • · Science · Uncategorized · Year 3 · Year 3 Gold

Last week it was National Science Week with the theme of Food Different by Design. Each class has been focusing on learning and investigating different everyday foods. The Year 3 students investigated apples.

We commenced the lesson by learning about the story of the Little Red House.

Then each team of students were given an apple to investigate.

The students had many interesting words to describe their Pink Lady apples. From all accounts the apples were the best that they had ever tasted! Thanks to Gilberts in Southlands Shopping Centre!

We used a ruler to measure the length and width of the apple.
Then we enjoyed eating our apples.

Tessellating Shapes

This week in maths we have been learning how to tesselate using shapes.

First we looked at tessellating patterns inside and outside our classroom.

Jaden – “The windows tesselate because they are rectangles and there are no gaps”

Gabriella – “The yellow carpet because it was tessellating and there were no gaps”

Fiona – “The number chart because the squares kept continuing”

Mckenzie – “The roof, there are lines everywhere”

After we searched for tessellating patterns we decided to make our own.

Noah – “First we had to use three corners of the post it note. Next we had to join corner 1 to corner 2 and corner 3.”

Yashua – “Next we had to cut out our pattern, trace and colour it in.

Rhian – “We had to remember to make the shapes fit and to make sure that there were no gaps”

Towards the end of term 2 the Year 2 students grew their own grassy heads.  We left our grassy heads to grow over the July holiday break.

This week our grassy heads were waiting for us and they were definitely in need or a haircut!

Welcome back to TERM 3 in PP!

Pre-Primary began this new term by celebrating NAIDOC Week through many different activities. Students have thoroughly enjoyed learning more about bush tucker and exploring in our own bush food garden here at St. Emilie’s.

Students are enjoying their morning Investigations where they have been practising their skills in creative ways using their imaginations! Miss Van Ryt is settling in well to Pre-Primary Blue and has felt very welcomed and is excited for the semester ahead.

Thanks for reading! We will see you again soon! Love PPB & PPG!

Looking After Our World

Practicing sustainability empowers children to develop an appreciation of the environment and its relationship to their own world.

Our marine environment learning centre

It empowers them to build knowledge and explore values that lay the foundation for becoming an environmentally responsible adult.

We rescued the marine creatures who were tangled in plastics polluting the water

We developed learning centres to foster children’s understandings to value and respect the environment.

We collected the rubbish that was polluting the water

The children are learning to appreciate the interdependence between people, plants, animals and the land.

Our bushland environment learning centre

The children collected the rubbish that was littering the bushland and put it into the rubbish bin

Through hands on experiences, children can explore and learn about their local contexts and environmental issues.
Children can develop the critical thinking skills needed to make informed decisions for change, in their own lives and into their future.
