GRADE 4 ICT AGREEMENT AND EXPECTATIONS SESSION

GRADE 3 MELBOURNE MUSEUM EXCURSION

On Thursday the 12th of March, the Grade 3’s headed up the highway to the Melbourne Museum as part of their Action Learning unit ‘Feathers, Fur and Leaves’.

The students had a fabulous time exploring the museum whilst completing a questionnaire on living, non-living and once living

things.

At the end of the day, the students were able to sit back, relax and enjoy an educational 3D film in the IMAX theatre.

We would like to thank all the wonderful parent helpers on the day - we could not have done the day without you!
