The Great Soccer Debacle of 2016

Hello Parents,

Unfortunately due to the nature of recess and team play at school recently I have banned team soccer at recesses (snack and lunch).  There has been fighting, arguing, bossiness and tears from the boys in grades 3 & 4.  

If your child wishes to play team soccer they will have to be enrolled in team sports outside of school.  

Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter,

Grade 3B

October - Peek At Our Weeks

Language Arts – Currently our class is learning about the different genres of books found in our classroom and school libraries. The class is ready to begin the writing process, starting with a project which focuses on elaborative detail. We look forward to sharing our work with you.

Math – The students have been learning how to extend, create and describe both increasing and decreasing patterns in numbers this month. Students should practice their basic math facts and families at home to improve their computation skills. 

Social Studies – As we explore cultural identity further we have begun to look at what people value in their community. After looking at our own community the class has begun to look at the values of communities in other parts of the world such as, Peru and Ukraine.   

Science – Exploring Rocks and Minerals has been exciting for the students so far! We are now learning about the rock cycle and the three major types of rocks.

Religion – Our Bible studies this month have helped the students learn more about God’s word. The class will also delve more deeply into what it means to be a member of God’s family.

Health – Our class has been learning about school Fire and Road Safety. There will be a quiz on what they’ve learned later this month.
