\"\"Well, what a super term Year 3 have had so far. Lots of kind, wonderful and talented people from our community have been willing to come and share their skills, interests and experiences with them.\u00a0 The visits by each of these special people have helped highlight to the children how lucky they \u2018really\u2019 are.\u00a0 Year 3 would like to say a \u2018big thank you<\/strong> to all of the volunteers; they have helped to make their learning so much more memorable, meaningful and real!\u00a0 And of course not to forget how super Year 3 have been at listening, questioning, discussing and learning, and<\/em> making their special visitors feel welcome and appreciated. So who has come in and what talents did they bring…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some helpful parents came in to assist the children in making their culinary rain forest healthy food designs which emphasized their healthy eating topic in Science.<\/p>\n

\n

Yet another parent came in to assist both Year 3 and 4 to create a sensational rain forest display.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, our local dentist to came in to talk to the children about how to keep their teeth strong and healthy. He showed lots of photos of the kind of teeth they really do<\/em><\/strong> and \u2018do not\u2019<\/em><\/strong> want to have!\u00a0 They were also able to study, hold and see real teeth; they certainly did not realise how long their teeth actually were!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Finally, last week they were fortunate enough to have the energetic and inspiring local artist Amiel Cartwright come and visit them.\u00a0 Together with his bountiful energy, he also shared some of his life stories and beautiful paintings.\u00a0 The children enjoyed the opportunity to draw him and show him how good they were at art.\u00a0 As one student said \u2018We were so lucky to meet a \u2018real artist\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Alongside these visitors, there are also other volunteers who regularly support the class with their learning.<\/p>\n

So, a “big thank you<\/strong>” to all of the volunteers and visitor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you would like to come in and share a special skill, interest or experience with our children we’d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
