If your child has Deli Fresh for lunch, please talk to them about their food choices as we have noticed a lot of children are reluctant to finish their lunch.

Please remember that we have a NO NUT POLICY at BHS due to some children having severe allergies. This includes peanut butter sandwiches and nuts in cookies or cakes.

The weather did not put a dampener on all the fun in Year 3 this week! We had four wonderful guest speakers who gave up their time to share information about their jobs. The children eagerly listened and took notes with regards to the skills they use daily and how they collaborate with others.

Finally we were able to make our dreams come true! The children and adults absolutely loved their visit to ‘Dream come true.’ It was great to see so many smiling faces!

People collaborate towards a common goal

Lines of Inquiry

  1. Different workplaces and the roles people have (responsibility)
  2. Shared goals in group situations  (connection)
  3. Systems that support collaboration in the workplace (responsibility)

This week the children have continued to look at the different skills needed for collaboration and continued inquiring into the different skills needed for different occupations.

The children took notes during our Guest Speaker’s talk and composed a job description based on the notes they had taken.
