Here are the schedules for our term 3 year 3 classes!

In years 3 and 4, we ensure foundations are strongly built before the children move on to more challenging work. Along the way, they are engaged and they have fun. Additionally, the children in our year 3 and 4 classes will enjoy watching and doing a Science experiment which is related to their writing task at the end of every term.

What we do -

For Numeracy, we cover the WA curriculum and moving ahead to higher grades. We also teach Singapore bar model method to solve problems. In addition, we include thinking skills in our work every week, so the children will be exposed to and learn higher-order strategies to solve more challenging Math questions. These questions are typically seen in Math competitions such as Australian Math Competitions (AMC).

For Literacy and Writing, we include a grammar / vocabulary component as well as reading passages in our work every week. In addition, the children are given writing tasks every week and are taught various ways and strategies to make their writing engaging and interesting. We engage students by using a variety of teaching, including quizzes, short video clips and showing them quality sample writing. We teach them to generate ideas, develop content and use interesting words and phrases in their writing. Students can expect detailed feedback in their writing tasks.

Location is in Leeming.

Our year 3 and 4 students get to experience the lava lamp magic in class! Lessons are so fun when children get to do Science experiments which tie in perfectly with our English learning objectives. The students learn grammar items, read an informative passage, write a persuasive text and actually get to do an experiment in class!

Opinion Piece - The mighty ‘d’ word

The important ‘d’ word stands for discipline.

It is not every day that we wake up in the morning, all ready for the day ahead. However, we need to have the discipline to get out of bed to fulfil our responsibilities for the day.

This discipline is what drives every work, be it big or small. Whether it’s getting the kids ready for school or preparing for an important task at work, we need this discipline in our life every day.

Children too, need to learn discipline. They need it when completing a task, or preparing for any sort of challenge. And the younger they learn discipline, the better it is.

The difference between a good athlete and a successful athlete is the discipline in training. The difference between a good musician and an accomplished one is the discipline in practising.

No matter how talented a child is, without discipline, he can’t reach his full potential.

There may be struggles in the process, or it can be painful at times, but the importance of discipline will not diminish.

So is tutoring necessary, I hear you ask. Though it’s all about individual preferences, a good learning environment can allow children to build up the discipline they need by having them attend classes regularly and motivating them to complete tasks on time. Children may not feel like attending classes all the time, but sometimes they just need the extra push that can be provided by someone else other than their parents.

Attending classes is not just about acquiring knowledge and skills, it’s also about building up of the discipline that a child needs. For example, a child needs to have the discipline to complete the homework that has been assigned.

The process of building up discipline, in my opinion, is far better than doing well for any challenging test and qualifying for any top school, as a child can reap its benefits for a lifetime.
