In SEL with Mrs Schilling, the Year 3/4 class learnt about ‘The Power of Yet’. Students thought about two things they can do and one thing they can’t do…yet! and made these posters that have been up in our classroom to remind them.

In HASS with Miss D we have been learning about how Australia is divided into states and territories. There are eight states and territories in Australia and each one has its own capital city.
Last week we learnt about some of Australia's neighbouring countries. We found out that Australia is surrounded by lots of island nations, where they speak lots of different languages and have lots of different cultures and experiences. Here is some information about just a few of Australia's neighbours:
Indonesia: There are 700 different languages in Indonesia and the capital city is Jakarta. Indonesia has a population of 275.44million people and they have many different native animals including Asian elephants, deer, gibbons and other primates.
The Solomon Islands: The Solomon Islands use English as their official language and they have a population of 611 thousand people. Some of the traditional foods in the Solomon Islands is pumpkin, coconut and lime soup, and green paw paw curry.
Fiji: Fiji has more than 300 islands and has a large Indian population. Fiji was once ruled by the British and they have a population of over 926 thousand people.
Vanuatu: Vanuatu is a country in the Pacific and its capital city is Port Vila. In Vanuatu, people speak Bislama, English and French and you can visit the Millenium Caves or Pacific Dive.
In Religious Education we have been learning about the Seven Sacraments and the Catholic Church. We had a lesson Father Hau in the Church – he talked to us about different parts of the Church and how he became a priest.
