U1 WHO we are & Wonder wall - Week One

-

Introducing the WONDER WALL
This week we dove straight into our very first Unit, WHO WE ARE. 
The Grade 3s were proposed with the question of,
'What comes to mind if I mention the words, Human Body?' .
Straight away many hands were thrown in the air and we got down to brainstorming. 
We then began on our Wonder Wall whilst their thoughts and inquiries were still fresh.
Many interesting questions and curiosities came about, such as:
- How does my hand know something is hot?
- Why am I able to walk?
- Why does our blood never stop moving
...and so on.


The Reverential Rhinos were then split into three groups, they had to come up with a group name and three goals that they would like to work on whilst busy with their big human body poster project. 
And so, they begin with their poster project's...






During English we focused on handwriting, punctuation, fiction vs nonfiction books and even started our class story- 'George's Marvelous Medicine' by Roald Dahl. 
In Mathematics, we practiced some mental math, number names and symbols, number and place value, counting aloud as well as odd and even numbers.

SWIMMING The excitement was real on Monday, the long awaited anticipation for their swimming lessons had finally arrived and our Grade 3s were bursting at the seams with enthusiasm. Their swimming coaches gave feedback on how great all our little swimmers were, good job guys! LAMENTATION Going back to 1930, the Reverential Rhinos got in touch with their emotions and feelings after watching a movement piece by Martha Graham called, Lamentation. I was super impressed with their descriptive words to explain what they felt after watching the video. THANK YOU🍬 Some spoils from Greece! We are super thankful for how thoughtful and caring our fellow classmates are, bringing back a piece of his holiday from Greece to share with us, YUMMY! 🌍🌎🌏 Pop into the STEM room and check out the Grade 3...

  My Wonder Wall Brick Learning about the natural features of the earth and what is classified as natural phenomena, the Reverential Rhino's had many interesting questions about the 'hazardous side' of nature. They took to their Wonder Wall and built it higher with questions to help get them started on their inquiry cycle.  - Do natural disaster's happen on other planets? - Could lava from a volcanic eruption cause a wild fire? - How do tornado's come about? Who said Mathematics can't be tasty!? Some excitement in class to aid us in learning about data collection, interpretation, graphs and diagrams. We used marbles - no, not the ones that roll on the ground, the ones made by Meiji that you put in your mouth - to help us sort, classify and display our recordings in the form of a chart, diagram and graph.  During English, we explored various connective words that help us join sentences together to make them understandable and more appealing. Ballet Dancers As par...
