Grade 3 students have been continuing our work in place value, focusing on making, naming, comparing and ordering numbers. We have linked this learning with measurement and investigated the connection between mm, centimetres, metres and kilometres.
Grade 3 students have been learning how to identify their emotions through a variety of classroom games and activities. They have learnt to use their body language and voices to communicate emotions throughout their daily lives. Grade 3 students have also been learning about emotional triggers that can affect the ways in which we relate to each other.
In Grade 3A, we have been busy setting up our Routines for Success and getting to know each other over the past two weeks. We have discussed our class rules, behavioural expectations and worked on the best ways that we can learn this year. Students have taken part in many ‘getting to know you’ games and activities, whilst setting up some cool displays around our classroom.
In 3B we have had a fabulous start to the new school year. We have spent the last 2 weeks learning more about each other, setting up our Routines for Success, and reacquainting ourselves with what attributes and skills make good learners.
In Grade 3C, we have set up our Routines for Success for the different curriculum areas, including writing. We worked in teams to brainstorm ideas about the reasons why we write, what makes a good writer, the importance of writing and how we can improve our work. Off to a fantastic start to the year 3C!
