HEALTHY KIDS EXPO! This Thursday 5:30 – 8pm at FBCS. In class we have discussed and watched a movie from Brainpop to help us understand the food pyramid. For homework this week, the children need to complete the worksheet entitled Steps to a Healthier You.Writing – We have started a new writing unit. Children will be reading folktales from around the world and then writing their own folktales. A Strong focus will be made on writing within a narrative (story) structure (beginning, build up with conflict and climax, ending with resolution) and describing the characters and the setting. We aim to collate our best writing pieces into a Grade 3 Folk Tale book.Reading – Our whole class comprehension focus is comparing and contrasting. We continue to work on developing fluency and reading with expression.Math – Continued focus on quickly and accurately recalling basic facts. This week there will be a particular focus on subtracting larger numbers using standard written form, the traditional computation method.
