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.
