The children in 3rd class have been very busy over the past few months.
In geography, we learned about bridges and the class wrote a wonderful piece about the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. In religion, we talked about how Jesus used stories called parables to spread the word about the Kingdom of God. We studied the planets by conducting research on the iPads. The children worked really well with their partners and produced excellent projects on their favourite planet. They wrote a persuasive piece about why a tourist should visit their planet!
In Maths, we have moved onto learning more about multiplication and division. We also had fun learning about length when we measured the school yard using a trundle wheel.
