Great Start to Term 3!

Dear 3B,
welcome back to school!
This week, we had a great positive start to our term and I trust that we are going to keep this up and have a wonderful and happy time in school!

Here are the key highlights of this week:

English: The Blink-Off

We started on a new text titled the "The Blink-Off".
Here's the action replay of 3B's very own Blink-Off Challenge: The Final Round!

Maths: The GSS 2012 is here! (The Great Shopping Spree!)

This term, we are starting off with the interesting topic of Money. What better way to learn about the concepts of money than to shop and have fun while at it!

So, 3B had their Shopping Spree contest!

In their groups of 4, they competed in 5 rounds of shopping.

Each round involved a budget, a different category of products and a different place to shop.

All the pupils were very engaged in the tasks as they discussed and calculated the various possible combinations of items to buy to get the best deal possible.

Catch the action here!

Science: Mesmerising Magnets!

For our very first Science lesson, we took a look at a video by the Quirkles...The only twist was, the video was muted so that pupils could not hear from the presenters what they were doing and why they were doing it! They were also not allowed to catch a glimpse of the video title as it would have given the game away;)!

Looking at the visuals alone, pupils had to write what they observed  in their Nature Study Book (NSBs) and then based on these observations, they had to come up with questions and figure out the aim of the activity.

Here's the video link:

Indeed, magnets were used to create an interesting piece of art and this brought us to brainstorm some questions we had on Magnets.

And so... this questions will guide us on our exploration of Magnets this term!

Assembly Talk: Health Ed (Importance of our diet by Yeo's)



Importance of a Good Breakfast



I just love Yeo Bean - so adorable!

PE: A New Term, A New Sport...

After a term of tossing balls into baskets and a term of moving balls with sticks , we go back to the good ol' throw and catch the ball with your hands - RUGBY!

There you have it- a great start to our new term :)!
