Today Year 3 became the Right Angle hunters as they searched the classroom and yard for those pesky angles.@FallaParkSchool @MissDoyle_Falla @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/S6uEfEHIxN
At the start of the week, Year 3 used the Beebots to explore quarter, half and full turns. We learnt that a quarter turn can be represented by a right angle 📐.@FallaParkSchool @MissDoyle_Falla @Miss__McVeigh @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/asNoWURxsB

It’s our first careers day of the year in Year 3. We started the day by learning about the different jobs teachers at our school @FallaParkSchool had when they were younger.
