Term 4 in Juniors has been incredibly busy already! 6 of our classes are all settled in to their new rooms! We really appreciate all the help we had to move, and also all parents understanding and support during this time!
So… whats happening in Juniors for the rest of the term?
Unit of Inquiry – Sharing the Planet
We have just begun our last Unit of Inquiry for the year. Our Sharing the Planet theme is encouraging our students to think about who and what we share this world with and what we can do to make sure it is a good place to be!
With the key concepts of Responsibility, Connection and related concept of Initiative, we are encouraging students to explore how “Humans benefit from, and contribute to their communities“.
Our students have begun to explore what it means to take initiative and the different communities they belong to. To support this at home you could discuss what things they are responsible for at home and in their out of school communities. How could they take initiative to support that responsibility? Who does it benefit when they take initiative?
Swimming Program
Just a reminder that the Levy for the Swimming Program is due by the 14th November. It is essential that payments are made by this date so that we can organise buses for the program. Swimming will run every day in Week 9 this term.
Sharing our Learning
Save the date! We will be having an open-evening on Monday 21st November, from 5pm-6pm to Share our Learning with you! It will also be a great opportunity to see our new classrooms. Watch this space for more information!
