Tennis and STEM

During the year, all of our Year 3/4 students are lucky enough to have the opportunity, to participate in both a series of Tennis lessons and STEM lessons using Little Bits. 

The first class to begin their tennis lessons are the Potters, who have been working with our tennis coach Gabby each week on improving their strokes and tennis skills. 

The Grangers are the first class to begin their STEM - Little Bits lessons. They have been learning about circuits and the importance of a power source, input and output, to create an electric circuit. They have been designing light circuits that turn on under different conditions and have begun designing, testing and making backpack alarms.







What is something that you would like to try and create using Little Bits?

Welcome To Hogwarts in 2018


Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. We are so excited to have you all returning and would like to give a huge welcome to all of our brand new students to Fraser this year. To get us started take a look at the fun welcome back rap we are watching to start off the school year.




This year we will have five year 3/4 classes and Mrs Van will become our resourcing teacher to support all five classes. Our classes are:


Dumbledores - Mr. Arranz

We have lots of exciting and fun activities and games planned for our first week of school and we look forward to getting to know lots of you even better. Our focus to start the year off right is to "Be Awesome", check out the clip we watched about being awesome.
  


We know that sometimes it is not easy for our loved ones to find out what we have been learning about and how our day was at school. So we have included a list of questions that you could use to spark some discussion at home, we hope you find these useful. The full list of 50 things can be found at this link: 50 Questions To Ask Your Kids After School




The first class novel that we will be listening to is The Gizmo by Paul Jennings.



We are excited to continue sharing lots of our amazing learning and reflecting with you all this year.
