3-2-1 Update Nov 25-28

​This week at school was very awesome because...

​In Science, I put the finishing touches on my platypus shoebox diorama and so far my habitat looks very good. Then I finished my research on platypus population and there are at least 1000 of them still around to this day. After, I started my report on platypuses and I learned that water rats are predators to the platypus.

​In ELA, we learned what a synonym is and it means another word to describe something (Ex. hungry = starving). We started writing about our first term in room 26 and I explained all about the point jar and how when you fill up that jar you get a pyjama day and an extension of outdoor recess. We also finished ‘The BFG’ and it ended when the belliehoppers (Helicopters) carried the 9 giants into a 5000FT hole and the BFG fed them only Snozecumbers (cucumbers). We started a new book called ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’.

        In Art, we learned about perspective, which means the view. We used perspective to create some nice snowman art. We used oil pastels, blue and black construction paper and perspective for this project. 

​This week I enjoyed when we played speed ball and mini hockey. I was goalie and Jessica scored on me, after I scored on Jessica’s team and we tied 1-1.

​I also enjoyed when we got our portfolios ready for student-led conference. We also picked out 2 papers from each subject.

​My 1 goal is to finish my 3-2-1 update faster. I will complete this goal by the 12th of December.

 This week was short but fun. 

Science:

This week we took apart an owl pellet on Friday it was fun. We learned what is in an owl pellet. There`s lots of animal bones.  We did it with a partner my partner was Jaxon. It was very fun. We also learned some more in IBL about our animal. We started making our habitat. We are just starting to make it. We are using a shoe box. All we do is colour the shoe box in the inside and then you start making it look real like you can grab some things like grass, animal toys, stones, etc., etc.

Gym:

We played pac man tag I never got caught. We also learned how to play whiffle ball it`s fun but I`m terrible at it but it’s also very fun. We had a whiffle ball tournament sort of thing I lost the first won the second tied the third. 

I Enjoyed:

            The thing I enjoyed about Science was seeing the owl pellet. It was fun.  We found some cool animal bones inside the pellet, I almost put together a rodent! Another thing I enjoyed about gym was playing pac man tag. The reason I liked it was I never got tagged and it was just fun in general. 

My Goal:

The thing I want to work on is my French. This is how I can do it I can pay a bit more attention in French. I want to achieve this goal by next year.

3-2-1 Update: Nov 4-7

This week at school was a four day week for us.

In Math we learned mental math it was hard for me because I am bad at math. And we did rounding [example] 15 rounds to 20. I like rounding because it’s easier then mental math I like it!   

In science for our IBL project I’m researching zebras.  I learned that zebras have to drink water every day or they could die. I also learned they live in Africa.

In Social Studies our substitute read us a book about poppies.  We learned why poppies are important.

In gym I enjoyed   swamp ball it is so much fun we also had a gest teacher birds and we played angry birds.

On Thursday we had a Remembrance Day assembly I really enjoyed when the grade three choir sang and the grade fours played recorder. It sounded beautiful. In ELA I enjoyed read to someone.  I liked it because I got to read “Amulet” and that’s my favourite book.

One thing I enjoyed outside of school was when I played soccer at the University of Manitoba.  Next time I’m going to be a goalie. 

For my goal this week I’m going to work on math more.  I’m going to practice my rounding.
