French Toast

Today we made French Toast.

It was very simple to make. We used eggs, milk, pepper and bread. It tasted scrumptious! Some of us have made it before, but for some of us it was the first time. We think we could make it at home for our parents and brothers and sisters. We think they would enjoy it just as much as us.

We are busy now writing the procedure for how we made it.

Stay tuned on our Writing Space so you can use our recipe to make yourself a scrumptious meal or snack!

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.

Magical Music & Melbourne Cup Madness!

This morning we went to watch and listen to Jonas from Africa with his instruments. He played lots and lots of different beats on so many different types of African instruments. He also sang along and told us some stories from Africa. Jordan and Arron from our class were especially lucky because they got to go up and play some instruments with Jonas. Our favourite instrument was the  Djimbe (it's an African Drum). He loves playing music because it makes him feel happy and want to dance.


Today is Melbourne Cup Day. It is when there is a big horse racing event held in Melbourne. At school we got to make a hat to wear to our 'Mission Madness' hat parade. We all donated a gold coin to raise money for the missions. It feels good to help other people, especially the Indigenous community in Northern Territory. The whole school looked amazing with all their different hat creations. It was fun parading around for everyone to see and even more exciting watching the horses race. 


We hope you enjoy looking at our photos and like our hats. Feel free to leave us a comment.

So far we have created our passports, packed our suitcases and created a world map. We are all set to begin travelling next week. Did you know there are 7 continents in the world? Australia, Antarctica, North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

This term in English we are writing procedures. This week we wrote instructions on how to make a paper aeroplane. Another person in the class had to have a go at making the plane using our instructions. Some were successful and some didn't work. We have learnt that it is important to be very clear when writing instructions and that we need to include verbs and pictures. We had fun testing the planes to see how far they could travel.

We look forward to learning so much this term and being able to share it all with you along the way! Stay tuned and feel free to leave us a comment.

Exciting English

In class we have been writing stories in English. To get us started with our writing we used spinning wheels for ideas for who, what, where, when, how and why. These made our introductions very interesting. We wrote many stories over the term as a class, in groups and on our own. We love sharing our writing!

Our class book this term has been Fudge-a-mania by Judy Bloom. It is HILARIOUS. It is about a boy named fudge and his family. He is a very funny little boy who makes us laugh. We think Judy is a great author and can't wait to read more of her entertaining stories. We have done different writing activities to go with the book in our Literacy dedicated time.

We are all working on our editing and we are getting better and better every day. We also do handwriting and we are working on perfecting our entries and exits.

Some of our favourite spelling and language games are Spelling Swat, Clusters, Scrabble and Boggle.  

WE LOVE LITERACY ROTATIONS!
