Hello room 5!
This week we continued to practice for our upcoming Grade 3 Assembly on Monday afternoon about leadership and making a difference in our community. A reminder to wear formal uniforms on Monday so that we are prepared to showcase our learning with the rest of the school.
In Mathematics, we have discussing mass and what type of measurement we would use, be it in grams or kilograms. We have also started to look back at some of the areas that we have covered this year including patterns, representing numbers and how to create an effective word problem.
In writing, the students were given several picture prompts to choose from and then they had to pick one to write a complete climbing story about. They had to include a great beginning, a problem with attempts to solve the problem and then extend the ending to wrap up their story. Students were also given time beforehand to write out a plan that would help to guide their story.
In Science, we spent some time looking at animals and doing some research about a particular animal of our choice to find out more about their life cycle, adaptations to keep them safe from any predators and interesting characteristics they may have.
In Social Studies, we are reviewing the various countries we studied this year and looking at the pros and cons of each community and the quality of life they provide to each individual who lives there. Students chose a variety of key points they would look for in a country to meet their needs to be comfortable.
Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
