GIS Grade 3

Dear Grade 3 Families, We wish you all the very best of the season and a restful holiday! Looking forward to seeing you in the  new year. GOD JUL!

Dear Parents, Grade 3 students proudly raised 600 NOK at Entrepreneur´s Day a few weeks ago. Well done :) They had many ideas for how to spend the money, but voted and decided together that they would like to have a pizza party! So, please note that tomorrow, Wednesday December 12, we will have a pizza and holiday movie lunch party. A nice way to get ready for the holidays. Pizza, drinks & a small treat will be provided.  If anyone wishes to have anything else with lunch, they are welcome to bring it in. Thanks, Kim and Jodi

Final note today! :) Looking for a nice home for a few weeks... If any family would like to take our fish home for the holidays , could you please let us know by email this week?  Everything provided. Thanks!

Dear Parents, We have a few requests from home, if possible!  All are optional but if you can help us out we thank you in advance. 1- Do you have an old, unused, offline phone? Could we borrow it for its camera function for the class? These will help us with new student digital portfolios we wish to try in the new year. 2- SNACKS for Friday Dec 7? The student council at GIS has invited all classes to enjoy a holiday lunch. They have requested that Gr 3 donate a few plates of savoury items (small sandwiches, pizza bites, small sausage bites) to share if possible. If not, students can always just bring their own lunch and enjoy eating with everyone ! 3- Small electrical gadgets/appliances that no longer work.   We would like to set up an exploration table for the class where we will take them apart and look inside!

Dear Grade 3 Families, The class now begins our third unit of inquiry, which will last about 6 weeks, before and after the holiday. This is a  science based unit , that will focus on  Matter and Materials.  Students will explore: *the p roperties of matter - solid, liquid and gas *matter and materials in the environment and how used *m aking informed choices about using materials to  ensure sustainability They will conduct several guided hands on experiments and keep a science journa l . They will learn to keep notes and diagrams using the scientific method. Other curriculum updates: Math:   We will continue to develop measurement, data handling, problem solving and number skills. More specifically these include the accurate measuring of capacity (mL and L), weight (g and Kg), temperature (Celsius) and time (12 and 24 hour clock) ; introduction to decimal tenths; reading and representi...

Homework November 28 Metric Measures  Students have a booklet of activities  designed to help them make accurate measures using cm and mm. A ruler is necessary!  Cool Buildings  To inspire and encourage inquiry,  this week we ask students to find  pictures of interesting and unique  buildings  on the  internet.  Goal:  Try to find 10 in different countries!    Print and paste them into your booklet.
