Gems with Ashish

Thanks to Ashish Kumar (Prabhav's Dad from 3w 2008/2009)for coming in and showing us lovely sparkly gems and explaining about how they get to be sparkly, where they are found, the difference between precious and semi precious stones and much more.

This week

Thanks to all the children who came to the Parent Teacher Student Conferences last night. 6 out of 10 were at the meetings.

I look forward to seeing more of you tonight and some more on Friday afternoon.

This week is the final week before the Songkran holiday. We have:

A visit by Ashish, Prabhav's dad (a parent from last year's class) to show some shiny gems!

Tomorrow we have our 500 Marble reward in the afternoon. This is a Splash Afternoon and you need to bring clothes which can get wet, a towel, suncream, maybe you want some goggles, and a watergun...not too powerful please as they can hurt eyes.
We need to find time for the 400 marble reward sometime!)

T-ball competition is on Friday at 8am.
Songkran assembly - Friday, after the Tball.

We will need a holiday!

The Twits

Love the Twits?

Do you enjoy reading about a smelly, dirty mean bearded man and his equally grotesque wife?

What comes in 5s?

Potatoes come in packs of 5.

In Year 3 there are 167 students/pupils/children/small people.

Each child will eat 1 juicy, buttery, warm, tasty, sweet baked potato.

How many packs will we need to buy?
Will there be any left over?

How many packs would they need if each child had just played football for 3 hours and was really hungry and so wanted two potatoes each?

Please take some pictures at the supermarket if you see any things which are sold in packs of 5.

Ch and tch sounds

We enjoyed playing this game today, and we came up with lots of words with the different spellings of the /ch/ sound (phoneme).

Reading Challenge

We have nearly reached the end of Term 2 and soon we will have the Songkran holidays.

It's time to have a reading challenge! 
Have a look at this list which is on the School Library catalogue.
How do I get there?
From the BPS website, click on students, Library, Primary, Library Catalogue, Catalogue, Mr Ben's Reading Tips (Year 3).

What do I need to do?
From now until the end of April (that is about 6 weeks) I want you to:

1. read as many books from the list as you can
2. record details of your reading on this form
3. write reviews on the school library catalogue.  Try to make them at least 3 sentences long.
4. try to find connections between the books you read.  They might be about the same animal or they may happen on desert islands.

Happy reading!

There should be books for everyone in the class to read, but if you find these books challenging, read them with an adult.  That's just as good.
