Friday Dec 3

Wow!! We have had an outstanding start to our food bank donations. We have collected 89 items so far with still time to go. Keep up the wonderful generosity Room 4.

This week we have:

LA-  The students have had time to revise and edit their "stone" stories and most have completed their good copy. We continue to work in our Guided Reading groups focussing on comprehension strategies such as retelling and answering questions using evidence from the text.

Math- Students have been working on developing their basic fact skills in addition and subtraction. We also continue to use the addition and subtraction algorithms to complete equations with three digits requiring regrouping. Our next step is using these skills in problem solving situations. We have also looked at 3D shapes through drawing and labelling.

Science- We are investigating the properties and formation of rocks. We have examined sedimentary and igneous rocks this week. 

Social- Students have completed their brochures on Tunisia's geography and we are now investigating one of Tunisia's most popular celebrations, Ramadan.
