Fulfilling- Week Four

With a shortened week ahead of them, our Grade Three Fiery Foxes undoubtedly took every opportunity to tackle their tasks and activities with determination and enthusiasm. 


 Video edits and retakes, they were finally complete, and we were able to watch and review their 'Children's Rights and Responsibilities Videos' by the end of the week.
As their unit of inquiry expands, their journeys do too. 
They wrote their thoughts and questions about their rights and responsibilities on their next brick and built it on to their Wonder Wall. 

Before moving their own mini climbing figure to the brick they just made, they were to investigate the causation of their previous question, from their very first brick.

A lot of research was underway, and discussions were had. Some of these discussions and discoveries included:

- The repercussions of being a bad citizen at school, or as an adult.
- How different countries come to speak similar languages.
- The difference between Japan and China's cultural and systematic structures when maintaining good citizenship in their countries.
- Naturalization leading to globalization.
- The continuation of citizenship in our daily lives.
... and so on.

Making their teacher very proud. Their efforts to research, inquire and understand, resulted in their ability to discuss the answers to their own question's and relay their understandings with a friend.

Whilst practicing phonetical sounds and their pronunciation the Grade Three's learnt about imagery -visual & olfactory- they discovered how adding something, as simple as a scent, shade or size brings life and understanding to their words and written sentences.

Story Writing

Hmmm...where do I begin?

HUNDREDS of exciting ideas and creative instances scattering through their imaginations, however a few of our foxes found themselves with 'writer's block', "But how do I make this story, my OWN?". 

So, we gathered together in our brainstorming circle, to learn and map out how to channel our thoughts and structure the essentials of story writing.
"I'VE GOT IT! Can I write my own story now?"
.... and this was before we discussed how to map out the plot of a story😁😂.

Keeping track of counting onwards and backwards from any given number. The Grade Three team challenged themselves to a game. Do not break the chain, counting backwards in tens from one thousand five hundred and thirty-two, until one thousand three hundred and twenty-two. 

I'm sure you are wondering... how did they do? 

 Symmetry and Quadrilaterals were included this week. 


 And with that...here`s a sneak peak of what the Fiery Foxes will be building next week.
