3B Newsletter

Our Famous People projects are nearly ready to be presented.  The Hall is booked for next Thursday afternoon if you would like to come along.  The school will also be invited.  As you visit each child’s display, there are questions on their display to ask.   I would ask that the children do two things to prepare:

1.   Organise a simple outfit to wear as their famous person. 

2.   Practise the answers to their questions.  Getting into the role of their person will make it more interesting for those are you listening.

This is the last week of weekly spelling tests.  The children have been individually given words for a Spelling Bee.  They are based on words they have incorrectly spelt this year through the weekly spelling tests.  We will continue practicing these words on Spelling City as well as do any catch up tests that may have been missed due to absence this year in the last few weeks. 

At this stage, I plan to hold the Spelling Bee on Monday 2^nd December but it may have to earlier.  There will be class prizes for best effort. 

We will be leading prayer on assembly on Friday, November 22^nd.  We have concluded our learning about the life of Moses and will now focus on the Beatitudes.  There is a meaningful link between the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.  Our assembly will also mark the commencement of the St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.

Thanks to those who have already returned permission forms for SeaWorld and those who have volunteered to come along.  Let’s hope the weather is fine. 

The kids are doing a great job at learning their times tables.  Even though it is not necessary that they learn them all in Year 3, it will be a great help for next year.

Have a great week, Susan

Week 6 Dictation

The Doctor Actor

There was an actor who played the part of a doctor.  The actor, acting as a doctor, worked at a hospital.  The actor played the part of a doctor so well that lots of people did think he was a real doctor and not an actor.  One day on the set, the actor met a real doctor.  The real doctor asked the actor to help by giving someone a needle.  The actor had to admit that he was not a doctor and that he was an actor playing a doctor.

Week 5 Dictation

The Bear with a Pear Tree

A bear decided he wanted a pear.  As the bear was unable to reach the tree’s branches, the strong bear wanted to tear down the pear tree.  This bear was clever and creative.  Instead of tearing down the pear tree, the bear decided it would be better to construct steps.  In this way the bear could select a pear any day he wished.

Spelling Bee

You can now start playing games to learn your own Spelling Bee words.  We will have our Spelling Bee in the last few weeks of school so start practising.  You can also do a practice test at any time to see how many words you are getting right.  Good luck!

Week 4 Dictation

Breakfast with Heather

Over breakfast Heather and I discussed the weather.  Following this, Heather explained how she had read about an odd bird.  This bird had lost all of its feathers.  This featherless bird was dressed in leather.  The leather outfit made the featherless bird sweat and become breathless.  Being featherless must not be good for the poor bird’s health.
