3/4 Classroom News

A New Year

I felt excited to start in grade 3 and knew I was going to make new friends. When I started grade 2, I was nervous and shy. By Amelia

I felt very different when I started 3/4 because the work is a little harder and there are new routines for the morning. The good thing is that I’m getting used to it and I’m growing not only in age but, in

talent. By Olea

English

Last week we read The Snail and the Whale and watched the animated movie. We explored the book using a storyboard. A storyboard shows the important parts of the story.  Immy felt she could write another book based on these characters because they are so different. It helped me explore feelings about the characters as well as myself. This week we are reading Penguin Problems.

Maths

Our teacher helped us refresh our brains about place value. We used laminated sheets to order the numbers from biggest to smallest using the correct place value. We took the place value further and learned how to use a decimal point. It was fun to work in groups.

Inquiry

In wellbeing, we talked about positive and negative feelings and wrote about them.

We talked about being nice to everyone. We practised changing a negative thought with a positive one, e.g. I don’t know how to do it, Yet!
