We started Term 3 celebrating NAIDOC Week. We dedicated lots of time to exploring and honouring the histories and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We made damper in the fire pit and reenacted dream time stories alongside the Year 5/6 students. These hands-on activities really helped us to deepen our understanding and appreciation of Indigenous cultures. 

Earlier this week, we also had the opportunity to make some scones, working together to measure ingredients and follow a procedure.

We have started this Term with a focus on reading comprehension and fluency. We have discussed that reading fluently means pausing appropriately and reading with expression. We have even been giving feedback to each other about how we can improve our reading fluency. In maths, we have just started exploring the concept of time. We spoke about the importance of time and how we might be able to track time without clocks or watches. Many of us realised the sun would be a great tool, so we headed outside to investigate how the shadows cast by the sun might help us to tell the time by creating some sundial-like creations!
