Week 8: October 31- November 4th

In Literacy this week, we completed our first school wide write based on a picture prompt.  The grade 3's used a picture to spark an idea for a story.  Then they wrote quietly for 45 mins, putting their ideas together into a story.  We will use these stories to guide our writing throughout the year.

This week in math, we began a new unit of patterns.  On Monday, we reviewed what repeating patterns are and vocabulary such as what is the core and attributes in a pattern.  Next, we build growing patterns and discussed the pattern rules and began using a T-table to record our patterns.

In art this week, we began to create some poppy art to help decorate the gym for our Remembrance Day Assembly next week.  We drew 3 to 5 poppies on each paper and then drew a grid line of over top of our poppies.  Finally, we used red, black and white to create colour to our art without the colours touching each others.

In gym this week, we started a new unit of basketball.  We learned how to dribble a ball, bounce pass a ball and shot on the nets.  We played various games to help us to develop our skills.
