C3 as part of the Senior Syndicate really made use of the school pool in Term One. It makes a tremendous difference to the confidence of our children to be able to swim everyday. We have noticed a marked increase in their confidence and their skill ability. It is an essential part of their learning throughout the summer months. We appreciate the parents who encourage their children to participate in daily swimming. 


Toward the end of the season some of the boys in our class decided they really liked the pink clips they found on the side of the pool. They asked if I could take their photo, so I did. They were so funny and enjoyed their last day of swimming.

2017

Welcome everyone to a belated start to the year. It is now Term 2 and we are well on the way to recognising and working toward achieving our goals. Last term C3 were very excited to be learning about the changes in the life cycle of a monarch butterfly and the life cycle of frogs. We had five tadpoles mature into frogs which I released into a local pond. The pupils were very responsible about caring for the tadpoles and feeding them. We also have two Venus Fly Traps in our class, of course these also need regular feeding. Overall, these have provided us with very interesting learning in C3.
