HELEN RETURNS!!!!

We have been looking at narratives and everything inside a narrative. We really focussed in dialogue in a narrative and how to write it correctly. It turns out that Helen was an expert on the topic so she came into help.

Helen divided us into groups of two and we wrote a short script on a piece of paper. The script didn't have any punctation. The script could be about anything and we could pretend to be anyone.



After we finished we acted it out in front of the whole class. Then we wrote our script like it would be if we wrote it in a story.






It was a great lesson and Helen and Patrick were really surprised with our acting talents.

SHAPES SHAPES SHAPES!!!!

For Maths we have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes. We were almost experts with them so Patrick decided to create '3D shape stations' so that we morph 4 different lessons into one gigantic exploration session. It was a great idea. We had so much fun.

The first station was about describing the features of a 3D shape. Patrick gave us different plastic shapes and it was our job to list their face, edges and verticies.


The second station was about drawing 3D shapes. Patrick put a video on our blog of a teacher explaining how to draw 3D shapes. It was our job to watch and copy. Some of them were really tricky.


The third station was about looking for shapes in 3D shapes. Patrick printed off a varitey of 3D shape nets and it was our job to investigate all of the different shapes that make a 3D shape. After we were done we could actually make the shape using the paper and a lot of sticky tape.

The last station was about making 3D shapes. Patrick gave us a tonne of Blu-Tack and Paddle Pop sticks and we were able to make whatever 3D shape that we wanted to.


It was a great lessons and we learnt so much!

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.
