Hello All,
Literacy
This week in literacy we are looking at Compound words (two
words that are joined together to make a new word) for example chop + stick =
chopstick. As we are learning these, all spelling words this week are compound
words. See below.
Students in 3C are working at finding errors in pieces of
work, which is making students take a bit of care when reading through their own
work.
All Accelerated Readers and Library books need to be
returned by Friday 30th November
Numeracy
This week in Mathematics we are learning to read timetables.
This means we are looking at our class timetable, train timetables and even the
television guide. Being able to read how long a program goes for, or when a
particular show on is a great skill that we are learning.
Investigations
Students are beginning to build models, write scripts and
make posters about the building or place in Melbourne that they have chosen to
research. Students are encouraged to bring in cardboard boxes that they might
use to create their model.
Homework: Here is a number of buildings that are in
Melbourne City, please find out the name of the building. You may use the
internet, look in a book, asking a parent or relative to help you find out the
name of the building. Students who return this with labelled pictures by Monday
3rd of December will receive a prize.
Swimming carnival
Swimming carnival is on the 12th of December,
students who have paid the levy need to return their form with their parent’s
signature and emergency phone number. Non-Levy payers need to pay $10 with
their parent’s signature and emergency contact. So far more than half the class
has returned this notice so it is looking to be a fantastic day. Please be sure
to return this by the 30th of November.
Feel free to ask any questions you have about this. Students
who do not attend have an alternate program held at school.
Christmas Carols
For our school Christmas Carols, Grade 3’s have been asked
to learn the song “Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree”. These will be held on
Thursday 13th December. More details to follow shortly.
