Hello Room 5! Hard to believe we are already into the month of October!
This week in math, we have been learning how to write and draw numbers into the hundreds. We have also touched on increasing patterns and writing out a specific pattern rule to explain what others are to do in order to make the pattern.
In Science, we continue to classify animals into groups and learning about characteristics such as body covering, how they breath, habitats and if they are warm or cold blooded. We also looked at the life cycles of chickens (for birds) and rabbits (for mammals).
In writing we are wrote out what we had learned about Terry Fox and his influence in Canadian society for all that he has done to aid cancer research.
As this week recognized both Orange Shirt Day and the Truth and Reconciliation Day on Thursday, the grade three classes put together our first (virtual) assembly. If you haven't had a chance to see it parents, please check out the amazing job the grade threes did!
In Social Studies, we have been exploring landforms and names of bodies of water as well as start to look at the various regions that make up the countries we are studying, starting with the country of Peru. Students have been discussing how the land and water sources that make up the country can effect their quality of life in many ways.
In Art, we have been evaluating Indigenous art and the feelings we have when we look at a piece of art. Students were introduced into what the foreground and background is and what shapes and patterns we might see in a piece of artwork.
Next week, there is no school on Friday as it is a Professional Development day and remember to come dressed in your formal uniform for Monday morning! Enjoy what looks like a beautiful Sunday and see you Monday!
