Welcome back to school everyone! I heard lots of wonderful stories of your adventures over the break today. Hopefully you all had some down time with family and friends during the past two weeks and are rested and ready to start up again.
Today we started with sharing about our holiday and then we went on to Spelling. This was followed by DPA, and the class voted to play Capture the Flag.
Following that, the children had recess and then WW, where we got the balls rolling on their fractured fairytale planning, and started to do some writing today. Everyone is now working on their discovery drafts. Be sure to ask your child what fairytale they are fracturing!
Then we had Math, and the 3's continued their work from before the break about polygons, while the 4's started their unit on geometry with some review from last year of spheres, prisms and cylinders. They were quite surprised at how many of those shapes were in our classroom when we went on a scavenger hunt for them!
After lunch we had Science, and Term 3 marks the beginning of our new unit on weather! We learned about the atmosphere today, and the students watched a neat music video about the layers of the atmosphere. I promised them I'd post a link to the video, so here it is: Atmosphere Song . It's catchy, and a great way to remember the different elements of each layer of the atmosphere.
We finished the day with chapel, and Mrs. Hills shared the story of Judas and Christ.
Enjoy the sunshine this evening everyone!
