Year 3 Week 4
31 Jan 2019
Literacy
This week in literacy, we have continued to read ‘The Iron Man’. The children have now discovered the intentions of why the ‘Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon’ has landed in Australia. From this the children have been planning their newspaper reports including the 5 Ws (who, what, when, where and why). Next week, we will be improving our plans and completing the newspaper reports.
Maths
In maths the children have been learning to tell the time. They have been working very hard on this confusing concept! Additional practise will be sent home this week and it would be great if you could support your child to read the time on an analogue clock.
Topic
During the afternoons, we have been continuing to learn about magnetic forces. The children began to investigate magnetic strength by testing which magnet was the strongest. They also explored the magnetic poles, predicting whether the magnets would attract or repel depending on which poles were facing each other.
