My City.

We have been writing reports about our cities.
We decided to publish them alongside some beautiful sun set cityscapes that depict each of our cities.
Have a look at a few examples below - we hope you like them!

Jumbled Sentences

Our Year 3 students have been having fun unjumbling sentences.  We have been racing each other to see how many sentences we can do correctly in 5 minutes.

Interviews for Oral Language

As part of Oral Language we have been learning how to ask questions and listen carefully to the answers we hear.

We have been doing interviews with our classmates, we have to ask a question and write down the answer, then we share that information back to another friend.

Here are some photos of us interviewing our friends.

Rainbow Reading

At the moment in our English class we are doing Rainbow Reading.
This programme encourages fluency.  We have to listen to a story on a CD, read the story out loud with a buddy and complete sequencing and cloze activities with the book.
Have a look at some of our seniors below....

Chinese celebrations and customs

Last week we learnt about traditional Chinese celebrations and customs, in particular Chinese New Year.
We were lucky to have one of our students Angela's, grandparents and father in to talk to us about this.
We tried a delicious Chinese beef dish and learnt about calligraphy, it was lovely to have visitors to our class - thank you Angela :)

Diwali

We have been learning about Diwali, the Indian festival of light.

During 'Diwali' people create Rangoli patterns at the entrance way to their homes and meeting places to welcome people. These patterns are bright, colourful and beautiful.

We made our own Rangoli patterns around the school, have a look at them below.

English Class Open Day

We had two open days in our English classroom.  It was lovely to have parents come and be part of our learning.  Thank you very much to all the parents who came.  We hope to see you all again soon.
