Grade 3 has had so much fun this week! We have enjoyed a visit from Go-Go Gymnastics, sledding in Mactaquac, skating at Willie O'Ree Centre, and Zumba with Ms. Broad. These pictures show our class enjoying the presentation from the Calithumpians, school-wide BINGO (with prizes!) and Just Dance in our classroom. Enjoy your March Break!
Today our class did a quick Reader's Theatre activity with the book Arthur's Christmas. We performed two sections of the story in two different groups. I was very happy with their hard work! Wolamsotas!
Our class enjoyed our trip to the skating rink this morning. Some of us were a little out of practice so it was good to get back on the ice!
Grade 3 had so much fun at the Halloween celebrations today! Woliwon to all of the families who sent in treats for the class. We had a wonderful parade and recognition award ceremony. Happy Halloween!
Grade 3 started a science experiment this week in our unit on plants. We talked about how flowers grow from bulbs and planted 4 bulbs: 2 amaryllis and 2 hyacinth. We are treating each bulb a little differently to see which conditions are best for the plants. We are looking forward to seeing them grow over the next few weeks!
Our class has been reading lots of Arthur books this school year. We love author Marc Brown's stories because the characters are so funny and Arthur is in grade 3 just like us! Today we decided what Arthur should be for Halloween. There were a lot of good ideas suggested!
The grade 3 class had so much fun on our school trip to the apple orchard yesterday! The apples were delicious and the corn maze was so much fun. Woliwon Riverview Orchard!
We had a great first month in grade 3! We've been working hard on our studies, and have also completed some fun art projects and took part in cool activities like the Stantec Science Fair. Check out the students hard at work on their beaver mosaics and celebrating their accomplishments at the Recognition Award Ceremony!
We've done many creative activities in class this week, including bridges to demonstrate our knowledge of structures and materials in science class, and bubble paint flowers in art class. I am always so impressed with the beautiful and interesting designs the students create. We may have future engineers or artists among us!
We've started our Science unit on materials and structures. Last week we read the story of The Three Little Pigs and talked about the different materials the pigs tried. The students then designed their own homes for our little pig. Today we turned those designs into real structures and tested their strength with the "Big Bad Wolf" - a hair dryer! Most of the houses stood up under the test. Grade 3 is full of very impressive builders!
