Year 3 News…

Our class has been using a school based computer learning program called Edmodo. We have been making weekly quizzes, polls and posting topics for students to answer. All students so far have been highly engaged and are enjoying being able to chat with their friends in a safe environment. Any posts to one another have to be approved by the teacher. If you have any questions in regard to Edmodo, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our rewards day is planned for Thursday the 18th of September. We have decided to have a fun day based on our COGS unit (Effects of Growth and Change) so we ask students to bring something to dress up in that represents either past or future.
