How perfect it would
be to develop our thinking skills with a topical debate.
Is it more difficult
to live with a broken arm or a broken leg?
The Fiery Foxes picked a folded piece of paper out of a bowl and inside the
paper revealed their broken limb that they were to argue is more difficult to
live with. They had individual thinking time, then brought their thoughts
together as a group.
The debate began and very soon they picked up on how to win in an argument,
implementing questions and counterarguments the Foxes got into the swing of
things and fought hard for their points, eventually ending with a draw. Good
job!
We looked at the muscular system during unit time and learnt about the
different muscle cells that can be found in the human body. The Grade 3s even
made their own hand model to show how our muscles and tendons help move the
fingers in our hand.
We continued with
Measurement in Mathematics, using and practicing conversion methods for mass and
also for length.
The week ended off
with a fun-filled cross-country competition. The Upper Primary participated in
an individual long-distance race and finished with a friendly sprint relay race.
Our Grade 3s ran their hearts out and gave it their all, I am so proud of their
efforts and achievements. Something that was very special to watch was
the encouragement and support the Grade Threes gave to each other and this was
shared not only with their peers but the rest of their friends in Grade 4, 5
and 6. I watched some of our children go back onto the track after their race
to guide the rest of the runners and cheer them on to the finish line. They
truly are beautiful and caring children.
A very big thank you to our helping parents and spectators who came through to
make the day a great success! A special thank you to you, who was unable to
join in with the races but wanted to assist with the cheering, guidance, and
clean-up, you are a star!
❤
Have a wonderful
week!
