In 3-4 Iyer, we have been busy learning life cycles in Science and Australian symbols in HASS.

In Science, we have been learning about life cycles of plants and animals. We got an opportunity to visit the kitchen garden and Evin showed how a bean plant grows from seed to a full-grown plant. We also walked around and saw different plants in different stages of the life cycle. We got our learning back to the classroom and spent an afternoon drawing diagrams of life cycles of plants and animals.

In HASS, we have learnt about important Australian symbols such as the Australian flag, the Aboriginal flag, the Coat of Arms and why poppies are an important part of Australian heritage. We have also been learning Advance Australia Fair, our national anthem to create a sense of belonging and civics and citizenship towards everyone in Australia. We spent an afternoon re-creating the Australian symbols and writing quick notes about them to consolidate our understanding.
