U2 Items and Raw Materials

 Major Rocks & Fossil Fuels

Once again, we recapped our knowledge on the major rocks in our earth's crust and discussed the formation of fossil fuels and which layers of rocks they could be found in. 
But, why are we emphasizing fossil fuels?
"...it's okay if they run out because I'll just use my electronics!" 
🤖

Brainstorming what oil, coal and gas are used for we then looked at our daily lives and where we may be using these fossil fuels. The Grade Threes soon realized their dependency on nonrenewable fossil fuels. Looking at the size of our earth and the amount of fossil fuels found in our earth's crust as it currently is...how many years do you think we have left of fossil fuels?
" ...an infinite amount of years"
" ...maybe, 500years"
" ...I don't know, like 1,000 years"
" ...mmm, I agree with 10,000 years"
" ...I think 12 years"
🌏🌎🌍
With that, the grade threes started their next project. They had to select an item, any item, and trace back the manufacturing process of this item, all the way back to its raw material/s stage.




During English, we looked at the past tense of words and practiced using them in sentences. We also tried following instructions independently, then got into the Christmas spirit by researching and sharing short Christmas poems.
✍ 
In Mathematics, focusing on the metric units for length we honed in on measurement conversions and its equivalents. We also had fun with some symmetry and angles by creating origami and cut-out snowflakes.
Stay tuned for next week and all the cool things we get up to!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

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...
