Loy Krathong and Multiplication

This week the main event is Loy Krathong on Wednesday 25th November. This is always a fun and colourful Thai festival and we hope all the students have their Loy Krathong costumes ready. We will be making the krathongs between break and lunch: 10:40 to 12:10, and everyone is encouraged to come and help the students put together their flower and banana leaf creations. There will be a Loy Krathong assembly in the auditorium at 1:30 in the afternoon. Parents are welcome to stay for lunch but need to have returned the RSVP sent out by the school office last week.

In Maths we will be moving on to multiplying 2-digit by 1-digit numbers, and also continuing their work on data handling and graph drawing. For an explanation of how to do grid multiplication, refer to the Primary Numeracy Website:

In Literacy the students are preparing their proposals for alternatives for the golf area. They will be using all the skills they have learned about persuasive writing to put together a persuasive text to try and convince people that they have the best proposal.

School Photos

The Year 3s will be having their photos taken on Thursday 10th December. This includes a class photo and individual photos.

Power Cuts

There will be unavoidable power cuts on Friday this week.

This week in Year 3

This week we are continuing with our inquiries into the changing school environment. Children are writing a proposal for their alternative ideas for the area that is being developed into the golf course. Their task now is to draw a plan of their new idea and write a proposal including a persuasive letter to say why their idea is better.

In maths we are looking at angles and saying whether an angle is acute, obtuse a right angle. We are also gathering data and presenting it in the form of a graph. Children will be using graphs to help them present their ideas in their proposals.

Loy Krathong

We are celebrating Loy Krathong on Wednesday 25th November (next week). Parents are welcome to help the children make their Krathongs between 10:40 and lunch. There is also a Loy Krathong assembly between 1:30pm and 2:30pm.
