3-2-1 Update by Jaxon

3-2-1 update April 14-17

This week we had lots of stuff to do. It was so fun this week though. I learned how our ears work, it was so fun. It looked so cool when we watched the video on our ears.  We also did a quiz together about the video, we got 8/10.I learned how to read the ‘avril’ poem in French- it was so hard. But other than that it was fun because I got to work with a partner. I learned about what the Inuit eat now and how they ate back then.  Before they ate only seals, caribou, berries and polar bears and now they eat pizza, bread, vegetables and snack foods. 

One thing I enjoyed was writing our Haiku poems.  It was fun because we got to think about spring in our minds first, then we got to write about it.  Another thing I enjoyed was gym class when we played angry bird tag.  We haven’t played it in a long time, so I had fun!

My goal for this week is to get better at typing.  I can practice at home to meet this goal.

3-2-1 weekly update April 7-11th By Arden

This week was busy, we did lots of stuff! Well, it was the week back from spring break! And I’m kinda sad because spring break is over L. But the good thing is we are moving on with the year, and soon it will be summer and this torturing will be over! So I should move on, to talk about our week.

 In ELA we learned voice writing. And we got to pick a food to describe in the grocery store! And for the anniversary we had to write about our favourite memory of your whole life in BHS from kindergarten, to now. and when we were doing ELA, we got to watch Silverwing! That was a book we read, it`s good!

In math we learned two strategies. I don’t know how to explain! HONESTLY! But I still know them.

 In gym we did badminton and we learned how to hold our rackets the right way, and to throw and, hit the birdie the right way. And then we played volleyball with a huge beach ball!

In science we learned how vibrations make sound, example: if you talk, your voice comes out of your voice box and as it passes your vocal cords, and when it passes your vocal cords it vibrates them, causing it to make sound and vibrations make sound. Easy.

2 things I enjoyed were firstly, gym because the big beachball and secondly, ELA because while we were doing ELA we were watching Silverwing!

My goal for next week is to work on my strategies.

3-2-1 update

LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!!! (YAY)

One thing we did was write a descriptive paragraph about an object in the classroom with your partner. My partner was Aria and Arden, and we wrote about a pencil sharpener. Since it was Monday I was kind of was daydreaming about this creepy video about a plane.

One more thing I learned was how to make polar bear art. First you trace your polar bear with a stencil on this sticky piece of paper. Then, you draw a horizon to separate the land and sky and plaster your bear on your art. After you finish that, you paint your sky purple and your land crystal clear blue and you can add a sunset or a moon. Or you can add both!! Just like how I did.

One last we did was mapping the great lakes. I don’t really like social studies, but it’s fine if I really have to. I like colouring the lakes in even if that has nothing to do with mapping. I kind of like to make everything I do have a bit of art in it.

One thing I enjoyed was polar bear art. Like I said, I try to put art and… My best into everything I do. That’s why I really… REALLY like art. Plus I really liked the texture on my moon. Because it looks like it’s behind clouds.

One more thing I enjoyed was the assembly because I was one of the ukulele kids in the assembly. Our group played “On Top Of Spaghetti”.   

One goal I have for next week is to really work harder on my 3-2-1. Because I still didn’t complete my goal from last week.  

March 28 Assembly by Sam

Today we had an assembly and I announced for it along with three other people. The assembly was short, about one period long (about 35 minutes). I think we all did really well and we all spoke six times. Our assembly was about sustainability and how to clean up the Earth. And almost all of the kids spoke in front of the microphone. It is really easy to talk in front of the whole school. It was really fun, for all of us I hope. First we said our names, second we called up the principal. Next Mr. Oliphant shared a ukulele song, “On top of spaghetti.” Next we called up the spin club. Next we listened about bus patrols. Next Mrs. Knoll shared a song called, “Water Waster.” And I can go on and on about the assembly but I’ll wrap it up.

Boys' Choir by Matthew

On Monday March 10, the Bird’s Hill Boys’ Choir went to Westminster church for the Winnipeg music festival. When we got there we listened to 2 of the other choirs. After then we went to the back of the church to warm up. After we warmed up we went on to the stage. It was scary because there were about 48 different sets of eyes. We sang 2 songs and they were, “The Drunken Sailor” and “Prairie Sprite.” After we sang the 2 songs we had to wait for the adjudicator to finish writing the forms and notes. She said we needed to practice the Drunken Sailor, but she loved Prairie Sprite. She heard Prairie Sprite 4 years ago. On the bus Mrs. Knoll read the comments and she said we got SILVER.

3-2-1 Update: March 3-7 by Sydney

This week was fun and really busy.

In science we watched a Bill Nye called “Light Optics”. It was the best one yet.  We all had to do 2 pages and it was like the ones were you have to fill in the blanks and after the video we had to draw a little picture that we saw in the video and label it all.

In choir the girls went to the church and they had the music festival and we won. I'm in the girls’ choir and we won silver.

In gym we had floor hockey and we won and it was with our class. We all had to switched and play other teams with the colours blue witch I'm in, red, yellow and green squads.

One thing I enjoyed was having our Winter Olympics all day Wednesday.  I really enjoyed this because I liked my group members and my group leader and the games were fun.

The second thing I enjoyed was watching Bill Nye in science.  I really enjoyed it because he makes it fun and easy to learn about light and other things.

My goal for next week is to type faster.  I will do this by typing at home.
