Google Apps for Education: Setting up our Year 3 students

Google Accounts have been successfully set up for students in the seniors.  Setting up Google Accounts for Year 3 children will assist with the transition from the juniors to the seniors.

A major focus that underlies everything is digital citizenship. Students have taken home the WBS Acceptable Use of Technologies, developed by them and their teachers. They will have discussed it with you and it has been signed and returned to school. Safety is paramount and we take this very seriously.

Here is a link to the agreement:

Year 3 children, who have signed our Acceptable Use of Technologies Agreement, will be set up with Google Accounts during Term 1.

We are excited about the opportunities that will prepare our children for a future that will be very different to our own.

Please speak with Nicola, Shona, Scott or Chrissy if you have any questions

Getting To Know Each Other.



Mathematics.
We are getting to know each other by surveying our base group about things they like. In pairs, we chose a question, asked each other what they liked and then we are going to make tally charts and graphs about our results. Come and have a look at our work next week.
