Hello from our students and teachers

Hello from Ms K's and 

Mrs K's 3/4 class.

Our class has been working hard again this week but also enjoying some fun times with Gym, Cross Country and cooking.

LITERACY

In Literacy it has been reading, reading and more reading. Students are enjoying their chosen literature as well as exploring the world of fairy tales. Fairy tales are a great way to help children develop their reading and writing skills.

MATHEMATICS

In maths we have been developing fluency with addition facts and learning to use a range strategies to help us solve addition problems. There are so many strategies that we can use to add.  We can count on, build to 10 or 20, use doubles or near double, add 10, then 1 or add 10 and take one, round numbers off, split them and regroup them. We have been using number cards and dice of different sizes to help us become more efficient with adding, it has been fun. 

INQUIRY

We are doing our inquiry this term on food and this week we have been looking at nutrition and what vitamins and minerals are. We had to choose a vitamin or mineral found in food to research and find out what is does for our body and what foods it is found in.  Here is some of our work and some photos of our cooking session, which was very nutritional of course.

Here are a few snaps from our Friday gym sessions as well. 

All in all it has been a pretty good week .
