This week in Literacy we looked at settings in
stories. We discussed how the uses of our 5 senses help enhance our descriptive
writing. We looked at adjectives and how they can add to the story and make our
writing more exciting. The children also completed their first Big Write in
Year Three.
In Numeracy we concentrated on counting on and back in
single-digit steps or multiples of ten, as well as working on hundreds, tens
and units and we even tried working with numbers in the thousands.
Our topic learning had us investigating the meaning of
a community and looking at the communities we each belong to. We then analysed
our own school community and went on a tour of the school to see how our school
space is used to meet the needs of the many groups that form the BISB
community. We went to places such as the staff room to find out just what
teachers get up to!
Reminders:
Ideally your child should have a recorder in school to
use during Music lessons. These can be purchased at school from Mr. Spinks, the
music teacher for 2,500fts (or 3,000fts, which also includes a recorder
cleaner).
Homework: Homework is given out on Wednesdays. This should be
completed and returned to school by the Tuesday of the following week. Spellings are given out on Monday. The
spelling folder with completed work should return to school on Friday. Big
Write homework is placed in the same folder as the spelling. Your child should
discuss the weekly topic at home and at school to prepare for their Big Write
on Friday.
Have a wonderful weekend.Glenda Hughes & Claire McCormack
