Welcome to Term Four!
Year Three Purposeful Practice Grid Term Three Weeks 7 and 8
Guess what we’ve been up to?
Last week in Year Three we were introduced to the shared laptops!
As you know, next year we will enter a 1:1 environment and so over the next semester we will be given a number of opportunities to use the laptops are part of our learning program.
We spent some time talking about how, devices like the laptops, can be a wonderful tool for learning. We also chatted about some of the important ‘do’s’ and ‘don’t’s’ in relation to responsible laptop use.
Some of the ideas we came up with included things like walking carefully and holding the laptop tight when we are carrying them from one place to another. Shutting them before carrying them, not allowing any food or drinks near them, laptops and generally caring for them responsibly was also discussed.
As time goes on our computer skills will improve and the door to some wonderful learning opportunities will be opened!
Jacob – I felt good, like a big kid. It was cool to use the laptops for the first time and I would like to learn more about what else we can do on them.
Caitlyn M – I felt responsible and I was really excited when the year fives and sixes brought them into our classroom. I also enjoyed learning new things about how to use them.
We love learning in Year Three and using the laptops is going to really give us even more opportunities to learn on many new and exciting ways!

Visiting our Buddies
On Thursday the 9th of June, we went and met our Kindy Blue buddies.
First we walked over to the Kindy area to the Kindy Blue classroom. When we got there we joined our buddies. We introduced ourselves and got to know a little bit about one another.
We then spent some special time together. Some of us went outside and played on the equipment, some played in the sandpit , some played running races (and we found out that the Kindy’s have lots of energy) and others stayed inside and worked on a puzzle or played at the construction table.
We had lots of fun and we are excited to meet with them again soon.
