A busy week 3 in Mexico!

We had a very busy and awesome week in Mexico.


We spent the week learning lots about Mexico and on Friday we got to cook delicious tacos.


We worked in small groups with Miss A to cook and prepare the ingredients.
The ingredients we used was mince, onion, carrot, lettuce, cheese, taco seasoning, water and corn taco shells.


We had to cook the meat and onion in a pan. When the meat was brown we added the taco seasoning and water. Meanwhile, we grated cheese and carrot and shredded some lettuce. We placed the corn taco shells in the oven until they were warm. Once they were ready we got to fill our shells with meat, carrot, cheese and lettuce. They were very yummy. We are all very clever little chefs!



During the week we revised how to use commas and question marks.  To help us remember we had to put sentences together as a group and place the commas and question marks where they should go.



Working together to put the sentence together.

Yay, we did it!

Having a go at a sentence with many commas.

Success!

In Maths last week we looked at time. We have been getting an understanding of seconds and minutes. As a class last week we had to do several exercises and time our heart rate after. We found it hard to count it after some exercises because it was going so fast!


Jumping up and down for a minute before
calculating our heart rate.

  

Laying down for 3 minutes and then calculating our heart rate. It was a lot slower this time.


Did you know there are 60 seconds in a minute? Did you know there are 60 minutes in an hour? We are so smart that we have worked out that there are 3600 seconds in an hour!!


On Friday it was our turn to have our Prayer Assembly. We sent a message to other students in our school to help others less fortunate than ourselves. We sang two songs - Rainbow and True Colours. When we sang true colours we also did some sign language. Some of us found it easy to learn and some of us found it challenging. Miss A thinks we did a marvellous job!

We are finishing up in Mexico today and looking forward to our next destination.

We will blog again soon, so make sure you keep up to date with what is happening in Year 3A.
