What a fantastic week that was!
Book Week was cause for much excitement in Year 3 starting off with a really interesting presentation by children's author, Gail Clarke. She told us some good ideas for writing stories, documenting the way in which she starts writing each of her books. The key part is starting with a good 'idea'! Tuesday brought many famous book characters to life in our Book Week dress up day and parade. It was nice to see so many of our children dressed up in fancy costumes representing their favorite stories. On Wednesday some of our students took part in the book swap and were able to take home a couple of new 'pre-loved' books. On Thursday, we got to meet with another author named David Schwartz who was equally as entertaining. Thanks so much to Ms. Helle and her library team for organizing such a fun and exciting week for us!
Through all that, we still managed to fit in a lot of class learning time as well. We are continuing to use our Literacy skills to compose and respond to comments on Edmodo regarding our Windows to the World topic. This week we learned all about animals and pets from our partner schools. Next week we will begin to focus on the final collaborative project, building a website, exciting stuff! Watch this space, it will be published in the next four or five weeks for everyone to see.
In Maths we returned to calculating equations using all four operations. We have been re-learning our methods for calculating so that we know which to use for each operation.
Many thanks to all parents who attended our 3-way consultations this week. The children really do enjoy sharing their learning with you.
