Alfa Lima Papa Hotel Alfa Bravo Echo Tango

A brand new alphabet was introduced to tech group one today. It is called the NATO phonetic Alphabet. It is used regardless of your native language, or your accent. You use it on boats, you use it in the army, in the police force. mainly to avoid confusion of same-sounding words and letters. For example b and d sound similar over a radio or telephone along with m and n.
Imagine if in a war someone mistook m for n in a code. Game over.

Here is a list of the words used in the NATO phonic Alphabet
Alfa/Alpha
Bravo
Charlie
Delta
Echo
Foxtrot
Golf
Hotel
India
Juliett
Kilo
Lima
Mike
November
Oscar
Papa
Quebec
Romeo
Sierra
Tango
Uniform
Victor
Whisky
X-ray
Yankee
Zulu

Fish Friday!

Every Friday afternoon 3dom has a awesome time doing activities and games by using the fish philosophy, which are: Making their day, play, being present and choosing your attitude.

One of the things we do most fridays is a cool activity. We write on everyones pieces of paper about what things you love about them. We go round the circle and take turns by writing nice things about that person. At the end of the day as we are about to leave we get handed back our piece of paper and go home with smiles on our faces from all the nice things the class has said about you. Fish Fridays are so fun!

MR TEMPLETON

Hey guys I have added this post to talk about our Thursdays. Mr Templeton has been interrupting our class a lot, so I think that he is getting bored and he has to come and disturb our classroom all the time. But anyway Mr Templeton comes into 3Dom on Thursday afternoons so that Mrs Stanley can get the afternoon off. Mr Templeton does P.E with us, he takes us to the library and he annoys us all the time by coming into our classroom practically every day. Hope you enjoyed and make sure that Mr Templeton gets this very important post:)
