Keeping up with 3/4C

We have been very busy in 3/4C and are doing a lot of great learning! 

MATHS

Location and Mapping 

During our location and mapping unit we discussed what maps told us and what information we could read from a map. We looked at many different types of maps and even created our own zoo map. Our maps needed to include labels of the 'x and y axis', legend and coordinate points for particular items on our map. We were able to be very creative and everyone created a map that they were proud of. 

Money

This week we have started learning about money. We are focusing on adding amounts, calculating change and rounding amounts to the nearest 5 cent, 10 cent and dollar.

WRITING

In writing we have been learning how we can more descriptive by using adjectives, adverbs and similes. We are linking our learning from inquiry about environments and climates with our writing. We worked in groups to brainstorm about different environments. We will use these brainstorms to help us produce great descriptive and exciting writing! Watch this space!
