Week 8 Update/ Homework


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.
