3-2-1 update

        This week at school was totally crazy. We had to do lots of stuff. One thing I learned was some facts of times 7. I totally suck at it I’m not good at high numbers.

One more thing I learned was all about apostrophes. Here are some examples: ‘I have’ would be ‘I’ve.’ I don’t know how I got so good at them.

The third thing I have learned this week is convex lens and concave lens. Convex lenses makes light in the world smaller and concave lens makes it BIGGER.

One thing I enjoyed was in gym we played curling boys vs. girls. of course the boys won because we had way more players then the girls.

The second thing I enjoyed was making our French book I have done one page and the word is comment ca va.  I liked this because it’s fun drawing the pictures and learning how to spell the words.

My goal is to get way faster at my three two one. It took me like 30 minutes to finish.

This week at school was awesome! In math, we practiced for are math test. I hope I do well but if I don’t I’ll be sadL. Our math quiz is addition and subtraction which I’m good at both. I love math but a math test is something I don’t love. In science, WE MADE A PERISCOPEJ!!!!! It was super fun to make it! We get to finish decorating it soon. We used mirrors, two milk cartons, tape and paper towels. IT WAS AWESOME to build our periscope. I had sooooo much fun! In art, we did another element of art. We did colour and we made a colour wheel. I couldn’t keep up with Miss Dodds but when I did… she was done, I was tooJ!

Two things I enjoyed were our Valentine’s day  party and gym. In gym, we did some more spongee polo and we did FLOOR HOCKEY!!!!!!! The spongee polo was cool like always, but the floor hockey was AWESOMASING, and the party, the party was awesome! The snacks were awesome! We watched the Olympics. They were cool!

One goal I have is to study for our math test. I hope to meet this goal by this weekend.

This week was really busy!

In ELA we did read to self and read to someone I like read to someone best. We also did some more typing our porquoi tales.

In gym we started spongee polo. We also did not do gymnastics because we are finished it.

In math we learned more division. I like division because it is really easy. We also learned more multiplication I like it too because it is really simple.

In science we learned, are clouds translucent or transparent?  We found out that clouds are translucent. It is really fun because you learn lots of stuff and do lots of stuff. 

In French we made some game cards it was really awesome.

In health we learned about more friendship. We also did a really fun hand tangle game and we got untangled 2 times well the boys did.

In other we had no school on Monday and we are going to have a really fun weekend.  We are going to Grand Forks for a whole week! We are going to miss a whole week of school.

My goal my goal is to get really fast at typing

It's I Love to Read Month!

February is the official I Love to Read Month!  At BHS, students are encouraged to do as many reading related activities as possible this month.  There is a calendar available in January's newsletter that is printable showing all the activities.  I will link that here: January Newsletter.  Students can complete some of the activities at home, and there are some (in bold) that will take place at school.  As they do each activity, they need an adult's initial to verify.  Happy Reading!!

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.
