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 2nd 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 22nd. 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.

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.
