Swimming

I love swimming because I love going under the water and learning new things. My favourite swimming activity is floating on noodles. I love swimming with my friends.

Welcome

Welcome to my Year 3 learning blog. I am in Year 3. My teacher is Miss Armiger.

All About Me Art

I am Learning to Find Information from a Text.

I am in Thumper Group for Reading. I am Reading at Green Level 13. We have been learning how to find information from a text.  We read the nonfiction book Rock Pools and made a mind map about the things that you can find in rock pools.

My Reflection

It is hard to find information in a book, especially if the facts have big words in them. I liked learning about rock pools. I would like to find an octopus or a jellyfish in a rock pool. I think that this is so good because I will be learning for a long time and practice in my homework to get better.

I am Learning to Solve Subtraction Problems by Counting back from the Largest Number.

I am in Toru for maths and we have been learning how to solve subtraction problems by counting back from the largest number. We started with single digit numbers and moved on to double digit numbers.

My Reflection

I think that I am wonderful at keeping the big number in my head and counting back on my fingers. It it is tricky to solve subtraction problems. I think that I could count backwards from even bigger numbers! If I counted a lot of numbers, I would be so cool at maths! I think that I will be the best counter in the whole entire world.

I am Learning to add Detail to my Writing.

Room 8 has been learning how to add detail into our writing to make it more interesting. We can think about the questions: Who? What? Where? When? How? and Why? to help us add this detail.

On Friday I was playing Minecraft story mode because it is fun forever. I was at home because I was feeling sick. I felt warm and cosy and sleepy so it was time for bed. I slept on the couch.

My Reflection

I think that I did a good job at writing because my writing was tidy. It was tricky to add detail because it is hard to think of what to write. I am getting better at writing because I practice learning words.

I am Learning to Write a CInquain Poem.

In Room 8 we have been learning how to write a cinquain poem. These poems have a special order that the words have to be put in. We have practiced writing cinquains in our writing books and published our most recent poems on winter.

Success Criteria:

- All words must relate to the topic.

- The second line must contain two adjectives.

- The third line must contain three verbs with an -ing ending.

- The fourth line must be a four word sentence about winter.

.

Winter

Freezing, cold

Playing, snowing, running

Playing, fighting with snowballs

Ice

My Reflection

I think that I did a good job of writing my winter poem.

I found it easy to write cinquain poems because they are short and I could finish them fast.

I think that the hardest part was thinking of the verbs. It can also be tricky to think of a sentence with only four words.

The easiest part was writing the topic at the top.
