Term3 unit information

This term the children will be working on three main units.  In History, we will be learning about the exploration of inland Australia. Our main focus will be on the journeys of Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson and Burke and Wills and their contributions to the opening up of Australia for settlement.

The Science unit is called “Light Fantastic”. The children will be investigating various light sources and how light can be absorbed, reflected and refracted.

In Health the children will look at using effective strategies when interacting socially with others.

Our Religion unit for the term is Scripture. The children will be learning about how people lived in the time of Jesus. In this unit, the children will learn about the foods, clothing, entertainment, money, climate, education, etc in the time of Jesus. The children will use this information to present a newspaper in groups based on the format of the Courier Mail that will be set in the time of Jesus. This promises to be a very interesting unit.
