Junior School Update

Year 3

The Year Three class have been learning about the place value of numbers in Mathematics. We have been using concrete materials to help us understand thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. We have been working on strategies to add and subtract one, ten, one hundred or one thousand.

We have had many of our Flat Stanley projects returned. Stanley sure has been on a number of wonderful adventures including seeing the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, visiting the Australia Zoo, catching the Spirit of Tasmania ferry from Melbourne to Tasmania. Please come and visit the Year 3 room to look at Stanley’s marvellous adventures.

We have also introduced reading buddies where students are partnered up with a classmate to practise their oral reading skills. We are working on reading with fluency and expression, so we can go and read stories to some of the younger students in the College.


On Wednesday, we also had our Reconciliation Retreat Day where we learned a lot about the Sacrament of Reconciliation through the parable of the Prodigal Son. All students actively participated in the sessions and they took away some important messages, which we look forward to further exploring in class.
