Volume, Capacity and Mass in 3/4
3/4 used unifix and MAB to become little architects to demonstrate and calculate the Volume (L x W x H) for appropriate buildings. They used their buildings and their objects to determine the volume by using the familiar metric units (cubic centimetres).
See below pictures of their work in progress – showing great team work!

Grade 3/4 – Place Value
Students in Grade 3 and 4 have been working on their understanding of place value. In particular they have been using expanded notation to express large numbers in different ways. For example, the number 25,482 can be expressed as 2,548 tens. Following whole class discussions the students consolidated their understanding by practising their knowledge using Maths games with their peers.

Level 3
At Level 3 we support students to manage the transition from junior to senior school. We foster independence and encourage teamwork. There is a continuing focus on the school’s values as well as the You Can Do It! program. Students’ autonomy increases as they develop individual working styles, take more responsibility for their learning and reflect upon what makes a successful learner.
Our Integrated Topics allow students to encounter new knowledge and skills in a meaningful and sequential manner. Subjects covered include the states of matter, animal science, Australian history and geography.
Level 3 students continue to take part in a range of specialist classes including weekly Art, L.O.T.E (Italian), Music, Library and P.E. Students also have the opportunity to be a part of Belle Vue’s extensive extra-curricular activities such as choir, dance club, running club and gardening club.
