We started the new year by setting a resolution for ourselves for the upcoming year
We set out to understand how the world works in complete darkness
Through our 4th Unit of Inquiry we set out to inquire into - How light creates shadows and reflections
Tuning in
Day 1:We began by experiencing about how helpless we are without light
Brainstorming about what are the different sources of light
Sorting these ideas into natural and man made sources of light
Day 2: Something from home - We brought things from back home that are sources of light.
Exploring shadows
Thinking deeper to find out what we already knew about shadows
Day 3: Unfolding the main idea
We tried to make sense of the cut up central idea and put them in a sentence that made sense to us
Making our silhouettes
Learning the steps for conducting an experiment and learning terms like aim. hypothesis, method, conclusion, materials etc
Understanding transparent, translucent and opaque objects through exploration.
Experimenting with mixing colored light to understand the white color of light
In language we are learning about poetry. We began by reading different kinds of poems and identifying the key features of poetry.
Using the acrostic poem on Shadow by Elaine Magliaro we learnt tools like about alliteration and rhyme in poems
Inspired by this poem we wrote an acrostic poem on ourselves - Grade 3
Our individual name acrostic poems on our silhouettes.
As part of our journey as budding poets , we have made our own poem book. This book will help us keep together all the tools that we learn, that help make a good poem and our very own poem collection.
We learnt the steps a good poet goes through to write an interesting poem.
Take a peek into a couple of our rhyming poems we wrote using the writing process.-
Stay tuned for more.....

In Math, we have been sharpening our multiplication skills. Learning out times tables till 12 by the end of January is the aim we have set out together as a class and see if we can become stars at multiplying.
