MOTHER'S DAY IN 2/3P

After a great Mother's Day paraliturgy that was run by 1/2L, 2/3P and 6F our mums, grandparents and dads came up into our classroom and made a Mother's Day Love Snail with us!

ANGLES!

For Maths, we have been looking at angles. We learnt four types of angles.

Acute

Right Angle

Obtuse 

Straight

We went around the playground at looked for angles. This is what we found...

FACES OF GOD!

In the lead up to the Grade 3's Communion, we looked at the special time of the Last Supper and why Jesus gave us his Body and Blood. We decided that when Jesus gave us his Body and Blood it meant that he wanted us to live the same way he did. So when we receive the Eucharist we become....

The faces of God. 

WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN!

For Inquiry, we have been looking at the forces of push and pull. This week we looked at the force of GRAVITY. Patrick took us on a mission into outer space to investigate the invisible force that is gravity.

Before we could venture into outer space, we had to become 'young astronauts.' We had to design our NASA logo and once finished Patrick attached the logo to our uniform, and we became a part of NASA.

(The crew of Apollo 2/3P... unfortunately we didn't make it to the Moon)

Then we travelled to the I.S.S (International Space Station) to investigate a life without gravity. Patrick showed us a lot of video clips of the astronauts living inside the I.S.S. When watching the
video clips, we discussed what gravity did to us on Earth and how it is important.

Once we had a good understanding of what gravity was, Patrick asked us to draw what the classroom would look like if Earth didn't have gravity. Here are our pictures.

INQUIRY SO FAR..

Here's a quick video showing you what we have done in Inquiry so far...
