3-2-1 update January 27-31

This week at school was awesome! In Math, we did a powerbuilder. I did ok I at it, I can do better. We also did more multiplication, but this time we did × 10 and × 5. I found it’s easier because I know that 10 × 2 =20 so if the question is 5 × 2 = 10. It is half of the times ten number. In French, we played buzz but counting in French. Buzz is a fun. I’m pretty good at it. We also learned a new question “Quel est ton sport prefere?” and you answer like this “Je prefere ______. In Health, we did a human knot. The girls were good at it the boys… not so much. We also did more friendship stuff!

Two things I enjoyed were gym and music. In gym, we had free time!!!!!!!!! J We played 10 second tag, snake pit and great wall of China. In music, we did a group body rhythm. I was with Sam, Aliyah and Anna.

One goal I have is to get faster at powerbuilders. I hope to meet this goal by March.

Better late than never, here's last week's 3-2-1 from Abbey!

3-2-1 Update

This week was extremely busy! In ELA we started doing hand writing. We started doing “a” for our first letter. I am so excited to really get in to hand writing!

In Math we started doing Multiplication and DivisionJ Since we started doing Multiplication and Division it was kind of easy.

In science we learnt refraction. Refraction is a bending of light. We tried some experiments with light. Here are experiments. How does light travel? We used 2 papers with holes, a flashlight, a paper with no holes and plasticine.  It travels by a straight line. What does light do to a pencil in water?    It’s an illusion.  The pencil appears soft, bent and bigger.

I enjoyed gym.  We were starting to do a routine with a partner.  My partner is Sydney.  She is really good at gymnastics.  She is a great friend.  So far our routine is great and really interesting.

Another thing I enjoyed was in music.  In the morning the boys went to their choir practice.  In the afternoon the strangest thing happened, our class had music again.  The boys were upset to be in music again.  The girls were laughing.

One of my goals is to get better at writing.  My second goal is to work harder.

Day of Pink

At Bird's Hill School, we fully support the anti-bullying movement.  April 9th is a special day to take a stand against bullying.  We wear pink in solidarity to take a stand against bullying.  The Red Cross is offering shirts to BHS for only $5.00 to encourage everyone to support a worthwhile cause.  Check out their website at  www.redcross.ca/PinkMB‎ to read more about Day of Pink initiatives in Manitoba.

T-shirt orders are due on Tuesday, January 28th and orders will be received in March.  All funds raised through t-shirt sales goes to educating Manitoba youth to respond and prevent bullying.

Let's take a stand against bullying and stand for respect.

Reading Takes Flight

Our class was super excited today when we heard about an exciting opportunity (thanks to Ms. Wasney!).  The Winnipeg Jets are once again participating in "I Love to Read Month" in February through their 'Reading Takes Flight' initiative.


All classes are eligible to enter to have a representative from The Jets come and read to their class!  We are going to write our 300 word entry next week so make sure you're all thinking of great reasons why they should come read to us!
