The grade 3 choir sang beautifully today! Each student wrote was peace is to them this week and posted it on our bulletin board. Mme Hussey liked our work so much that she asked the students to each read their sentence over the PA system to the whole school!

September Journal Entries

Here are a few journal entry tidbits from way back in September when we were writing about the things we learned:
- We're writing our autobiographies. It is the story of our life. (Carson)
- This month at school I learned how to do a scarecrow glyph. I also learned how to play recorder. (Jessica)
- We wrote our names in all sorts of ways, like with paint. It was fun. (Braxton)
- This month at school we watched the Terry Fox movie. Our school raised $511.25 for the Terry Fox Foundation! (Brady P.)
-This month at school I learned how to do a silhouette. Madame traced the shadow of my face and then we cut it out. Then we put it on construction paper. Then we glued things that we like. (Cassidy)
- We looked at outer space pictures from NASA. (Kiera)
- A poem written by William:
School is fun,
School is cool,
School is better
than a swimming pool!

October Learning

This afternoon each group spent some time writing an entry for our blog about what we learned in October.

Bony Legs & Tomie De Paola
We did retell Bony Legs. We wrote Bony Legs in our own words.
Tomie De Paola is a good writer. He wrote Strega Nona books! The books are awesome and the class loves them! Three of them are Strega Nona, Big Anthony and the Magic Pot and Strega Nona's Magic Lessons. They are all cool!
-Kiera, Chase, Ryker & Talia

Monster Art Project
We did a monster art project where we cut out shapes and taped strings to it. It was so fun! We made vampires and a devil and a big foot out of a lot of different coloured papers. We love how it turned out.
-Oscar, Prestyn & Holly

Math & Social Studies
We estimated balloons and candy corn. We ate the candy corn after we counted it.
We wrote on a paper hockey puck. We wrote Canadian symbols.
- Jessica, Joshua & Carson

Ti'Bert
We played games with Ti'Bert. We made music with Ti'Bert. We made a loop pedal jam with Ti'Bert the voyageur and played instruments with him. We created a loop pedal jam with Ti'Bert by playing instruments in a microphone. With Ti'Bert we made musical instruments out of skewers.
- Juliana, Elsir, Braxton & Emily

Forces
Gravity is what pulls us on the earth. Static electricity is an invisible force. For example, rub a balloon on your head, it causes static electricity. Magnetism is a type of force. If you put north to north (poles), they push away from each other. Friction keeps you from sliding everywhere!
- Sara, William, Colton & Jaden

Halloween
This October we had a Halloween party and we played a Halloween matching game on the Smart Board. We had a fun time. We also made Halloween patterns and had delicious snacks. We marched through the gym and we wore our costumes to school. We did a brain break dance and Madame threw balloons at us!
-Cassidy, Andreas, Brady P. & Bradi B.


Hope you have a great long week-end!
