Year 3

Class 7 had a fantastic time planting with Cat. First, she taught us how to hold the tools safely. 

Then we learned how to harvest, weed and plant. We even had a quiz at the end! 

Today we practiced some word processing skills. 

We learned how to use the undo/redo buttons, how to change our fonts using bold, colours, italics and underlining and how to save our work. 

We were really good at this! 

Class 7 enjoyed their game of dodgeball this week.

They are becoming better at aiming and dodging the ball.

This week in science class 8 have started a new topic all about our bodies. 

To start with we talked about what we already know and labelled an outline of a human body with where we think internal organs are. 

We then wrote down questions we would like to find out the answer to.

Today we looked at jobs and salaries.

We discussed different pay structures and hourly rates vs salaries. We looked at some different roles and their salaries.

We were so surprised to see how much or little some job roles were paid.

Today in English we peer assessed our work from yesterday.

We used a checklist to text mark and identify what our partners had done well in their instructions.

We used this to give them positive feedback and identify areas for improvement next time they write instructions.

This week we learnt how to ask what colour something is in French and how to answer.
