Wai Kru Day

Today we are celebrating Wai Kru Day. We gave Miss Kniveton some beautiful flowers and Kru Paew some chocolate.

Adventure Stories

Today we have been continuing to write our adventure stories. We edited our story openings from yesterday to check they made sense and to check that we had used the correct spelling and grammar. Afterwards, we wrote the build-up to our stories. Then we peer assessed each others work and wrote comments in each others books.

Guest Speaker

Today Apple's dad came in to speak to use about his culture. We found out he has lived in lots of different countries all over the world including England, Fuji, Liberia and Pakistan. He showed us pictures of all the places he has lived and told us interesting facts about the buildings and different cultures. We really enjoyed listening to his adventures and learning about different places around the world. We hope to have more guest speakers to tell us about their culture too.

Weekly Update

Y3 Weekly Update: Sept. 5 - Sept. 9

                                                                                                                                                                        

	This Week	Next Week
English	In English class we have commenced our unit on Adventure Stories. By reading, analyzing, and completing activities on both The Tunnel and Where the Wild Things Are, students have been able to enhance their understanding the core components of an adventure story (plot, setting, main characters, etc).	In English class we will be writing our own Adventure Stories using a wide variety of complex verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
Math	In Maths, we have been working to use multiple of 5 and 10 bonds to 100 to solve additions and subtractions and add and subtract 1-digit numbers to and from 2-digit numbers. Below is a copy of our Mastery Checklist for the week: Recall or quickly find multiples of 5 bonds to 100 Use number bonds and number patterns to add and subtract 1-digit numbers from 2-digit numbers Add several numbers, spotting doubles and bonds.	Know multiplication and division facts for the 5, 10, 2, 4 and 3 times-tables; doubling and halving. Recall doubles of numbers 1 to 20, derive the related halves and apply reasoning skills to choose numbers that will give the longest halving chains. Double 2-digit numbers to 50 and halve 2-digit numbers up to 100.
Inquiry	For our unit of Inquiry, we have been exploring the concept of "Who We Are." This has led to a fascinating week exploring the differences and joys of cultures from around the world.	For our unit of Inquiry, we will be exploring the concept of "Who We Are" in greater depth by comparing our lives to those in different cultures.
Notices and Events	Please let Mr. Millican or Ms. Kniveton know if you would like to speak to the class about your upbringing or culture. This can be done in any language, not only English. Please remind your son or daughter to pack their recorder the day they have music class. As always, please contact me if you have any additional questions or concerns. Have a great weekend.

Our Culture

Today we shared our picture collage homework with each other. We spoke about our home lives, families and shared stories. As a class we talked about something new we had learnt about the students in our class.
