Monday Morning

Looking around 3dom this morning, I realised how lucky I was as a teacher to have such a terrific class. Look at them all interacting over Monopoly Deal before school and then hard at work on their 3D drawings during Maths.

Thanks for being fantastic 3dom!

Pythagoras theorem

In Maths we have been working on Pythagoras theorem. How Pythagoras theorem works is, if their were two squares on the base and side of a right angle triangle it would the same area as the square
on the long side of the right angle triangle which is called the hypotenuse. Here is a great link if you want to know more. Pythagoras theorem   

Wood Technology

3dom has just finished science technology. We had such a great time! We have now moved onto wood work with Mr Filer. We are making clocks after last years boxes. With our own design and colours we have been working really hard cutting, sawing, drilling and so much more.

Here are some pictures!

C.S.I Reading

This term in 3dom we have ben doing C.S.I. Reading. We have been learning to find text to text, text to self and text to world connections and now we are learning to ask questions. It has been so fun and there is more to come.

Credible Voices

In 3dom, we have been learning about how to make a "credible voice" for our narrative characters. A "credible voice" is a voice that is completely believable and fits to the characters attitude, and personality. The exercise that we did was we all agreed on six kinds of people and we all wrote what we think they would say if the person were asking for a drink. The six different voices that we chose were: a toddler, a pirate, a builder, an australian, a member of your family and a naughty teenager. Try to guess which is which!

Pubertal Health Unit

We have had 2 sessions doing Pubertal Health and we have got some links to help you understand more what might be happening to your body.

Developing Characters

In 3dom we are looking at fiction writing and developing characters. Last week we started a character sketch writing about our new characters so we got to know them better. We have also worked on the story line looking at a snapshot of their life. We are all really looking forward when we start writing our short stories.
