In the final fortnight of Term 3, our 2/3 class enjoyed a visit to the South Hobart Tip and Resource Recovery Centre. We were lucky enough to have a tour of the Tip Shop to understand how the recycling and reselling process work before going hunting for our own second-hand treasures. All students found an item to bring back to school to upcycling the item. Students also reflected on the role of the Tip Shop and upcycling processes play in helping our environment. It was an excellent day out and a great project for students to round out the term.

We have also dedicated lots of time to experimenting with fractions in a practical way. We have grown our understanding of how equal parts make a whole and the role of the denominator in a fraction. Check out the images below of us tackling some of these ideas and constructing our understandings alongside our peers.

Finally, this week we welcomed families to our classrooms for our Open Classroom evening. It was wonderful to see many students sharing their work with the people they love.

2/3 have done a phenomenal job this term and are looking forward to the holiday break!
