Rounding up term 3!

Wow! What a busy term we have had, lots of learning and lots of fun.
Life Education, Mathletics, Spelling city, excursion to the C.S.I.R.O and May the force be with you unit, Push and Pullathon, Information reports on animals and people, Crazy animal books in our Chance and Data unit, Gardening and Footy colours day are just a slice of what we have been up to.

Have a happy and safe holiday!

Busy monkeys in JSC

During swimming students have been practicing what to do in emergency situations around water- this has included what to call out, how to rescue someone and how to do life saving backstroke.






























We have been looking at clocks and the time. There are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in an hour.
We have also learnt when the big hand is on the 12 it is O'clock, when it is on the 6 it is half past, when it is on the 3 it is quarter past and when it is on the 9 it is quarter to.

Levers and Pulleys

Welcome to Term 3!

I trust that everyone had a lovely 2 week break, and kept healthy and safe.
We welcomed a new student to our class in the last week of term 2- Callon- all the way from the UK.
Today JSC went to their first lesson of swimming, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and no one lost anything! Each student has been put carefully placed into a group- Dolphins, Seals, Penguins or Turtles.
Our Inquiry focus 'May the force be with you' jumped into action at our CSIRO excursion and at the moment the children are really enjoying learning about simple machines and how they work. Next week we begin rotations where they will further explore; wheels and axles, pulleys and levers, magnets, electricity and gravity.

Inquiry Presentations!!

JSC were overwhelmed by parents and grandparents on Thursday afternoon, while the children shared their inquiry questions and answers. They all did a fabulous job and should be very proud of their efforts.




















JSC are also very much so looking forward to their first excursion for the year, this coming Friday they are going to the CSIRO.

How long is that?

Students have been madly measuring anything and everything that they could find in the classroom.
We learnt it is best to line up the objects in a straight line, just touching to measure accurately.






JSC students are also very much looking forward to Open Day next Wednesday the 26th. We are hoping to see lots of people joining us in the classroom on this day! :)

5 Star Handwriting

We always try our best to make sure we are writing on the dotted thirds correctly. We make sure we are using a three finger pencil grip, sitting up tall in our tucked in chair and have spaces between our words.
