Clocks

This is a very very important lesson. We are learning the quarter past and quarter to. In analog (clock face with hands) as well as digital (clock with numbers). 

Here is a very good teaching clock that children can use.

Studying patterns in nature using a digital microscope

These couple of weeks the kids have been getting me all sorts of natural objects in class. Different leaves, dead insects and other small creatures, shells...here are some captures the children have done (some of them by the big kid)

The Times Tables.

I've said this around three times this year. I cannot stress enough the importance of the children knowing the times tables well. Knowing them by heart is good, but they need to remember how to get the result, even if they blank out. 

These are the tables they have in year 3. 

I will print them and will kindly ask you to laminate the sheet for your children, so they can study them every day, until they are with me in year 3. 

Fruit Salad

As you know, Pirates travel to far away countries to look for treasure. Here is the treasure we found!

Judy and the Martian

This week we had a comprehension, an extract from Judy and the Martian by Penelope Lively. A Martian crash landed on Earth and had all sorts of bad feelings.  The children had to give their interpretation. Here are some whose work is ready.

STUDY YOUR TIMES TABLES

In year 3 you need to know your X2 X3 X4 X5 X10 X11 tables. 

Here is the Times 4 Table song. Please study it. 

Friday I'm testing on THE TIMES 4 TABLE

Something nice to say about everybody.

The children had to pick out a paper from a bag. 

On each paper is someone's name.

They have to write something nice about that 'someone' :)

Times X table.

Illum bdejt it-table tat- X3 mat-tfal. 
Biex jitgħallmuha aktar malajr, sibt dal-vidjo vera utli. Issa anke min ma jiftakarhiex jew min għandu problema li jħawwad numru ma ieħor, jista' juża dal-metodu. Ħafif ħafna.
Importanti li jistudjaw it-tables kuljum.

Hemm ukoll diski li jistgħu jisimgħu biex jidraw aktar malajr. Bħal din KLIKKJA HAWN

Healthy Breakfast Every Morning

Please make sure that your child has breakfast every morning before school. I cannot have children losing concentration because they need to eat at nine o' clock. This is happening with many children, every day. 

Even a slice of fruit, half a sandwich, half a cereal bar...

The internet is full of breakfast ideas. Food is anything but boring. Start the day off with something that wakes you up and gives you energy.

Photos from today. Crunchy, crusty, warm toast at 66 Cafe.

We all know that pirates do not have their grown-ups cooking for them at home, and if they don't have a cook, they need to make their own lunches. 

So here's what my pirates did today. 

Harr!

Miss Claudine.

Today's Photos : Thursday Pirates

Pirates 2 - Shipbuilding and Story Making - slideshows

Today we put all our work up on the board and we built our ship. If you need any ships built, come to room 66 at Birkirkara Primary and we'll be of good service. We wrote a story about Pirate Jenny, we did some past tense in Maltese. We also had a surprise visit from a friend of Miss Claudine. It was a great day :) Tomorrow do not forget, we'll have more activities, and we're going to make toast. Bring sliced bread, and put some ham, cheese, tuna or whatever you like in your lunch box. See you tomorrow! Miss Claudine.
