                  Its hard to believe that this academic year is over!!!! Our journey at Edubridge has taken a pause only to continue its lovely journey forward in Grade 4. Each of you have played a special role in making up the class. Each of you have brought a unique quality that added a touch to our "team". You have all touched my life and this school year in very positive and rewarding ways. Just want to thank each one of you for the sweet moments and memories you have left me with.

                                                

 A peek into some of the wonderful times and things we shared .........

        

Will miss my NNRSJ!!!!

         I would like to end by quoting......

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard!!!

Last two weeks

In the last two weeks, we have been busy wrapping up and reflecting on the past year. 

We were invited by Grade 2 for an assembly to share with us their learning of the last unit. Thank you Ms. Siya and Aditya.

We had a readers workshop. All the grades read out a story to us. It was fun to listen to so many stories at one go!

                          

“Ends are not bad things, they just mean that something else is about to begin. And there are many things that don't really end, anyway, they just begin again in a new way. Ends are not bad and many ends aren't really an ending; some things are never-ending.” 
                                                                                                                                       -C. JoyBell C.

Can you feel it ????? It's approaching.....the end to the last Unit of inquiry in Grade 3. A sneak peek into week 38.......

Last week we bid farewell to Ms. Lalita, with heavy hearts and best wishes we said good bye to her.

                                                  WE WILL MISS YOU MS. LALITA!

This week we learnt about fact and opinions. We understood that facts tell what actually happened and can be proven true or false. Opinion is a personal belief or judgement.

The students were each given a song based on the systems that they have been researching on. They identified the facts and opinions in those songs.

Grade 5 invited us to tell us about their upcoming show 9 directions 1 way. We are looking forward  to your show on the 30th evening.

This week we also had a dance and PE assembly. We had fun watching the young gymnasts and budding dancers.

A glimpse into one of the many dance performances of that assembly - 

 

Presentation time!!!!!

This week we learnt so much more about the body systems. We had the 7th graders come to class and teach us about the different systems. They explained and made us do activities based on the different systems.

Thank you Ramon Sir and the 7th graders for arranging such an interesting and fun way of learning.

This week we presented about the body systems we have been researching about. We assessed our peers on their presentations.

A sneak peek into the presentations -

We continued to work on our animations and PPT presentations on the body systems. We helped each other click pictures and learnt how to create an animation using the open shot editor.

This week in Math we learnt about Carroll diagrams. 

Carroll diagram

• a sorting diagram named after Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson),
mathematician and author of "Alice in Wonderland".
• a Carroll diagram is used to sort items according to
the attributes of two or more categories.
• numbers or objects are categorised
as belonging or not belonging.

EXAMPLE:

We found some fun math facts about the human body and shared them with our friends.

Functions of the systems in our body.

This week the 3rd graders at EIS have been engrossed in learning about how the different systems function, what activities do the different organs do in order to perform simple actions like breathing, moving, bending, sneezing etc. We have nearly finished researching and are in the process of presenting our learning through animations and PPT presentations. Stay tuned to see how we go about the same........

This week in Math, we have been learning about angles. We learnt what are right angles, acute angles and obtuse angles. We also explored directions with angles.

Forming different angles using our body as lines.


This week our friends from Grade 1 taught us about the 3 R's. Thank you Ms. Jessica and Grade 1 we now know how easy it is to make recycled paper. We will try and do whatever we can to save the Earth.

Forms of body systems

 In this short week of 3 days we have been superrrrrr busy and excited! As they say....'Good things come in small packages", we started the week with our very own school e mail id's. Thank you Mick sir for creating our id's on the Edubridge domain.

We began working on researching about our assigned body system. 

We put our creative thinking caps on and began our journey into the complex human body. It was fun to recreate the systems using scrap materials.

Stay tuned as we will be soon presenting our understanding of how the different system works.

This week we put up an assembly on conflict resolution. We invited our PYP friends to share with them some of the things we had learnt about conflict resolution. Everyone enjoyed watching the ball fight movie we had put together. We felt so proud of ourselves.

As part of the action of our conflict unit, the students came up with the idea of giving a friendly 5 poster to each class post the assembly so that they can remember the steps to use to resolve a conflict.

Our first independent action post a unit!!!!!!!

Beginning of the end !!!

This week we began with our last unit of inquiry in Grade 3! We are going to learn about our complex human body. In this unit, students will get an opportunity to learn about the human body and how the various systems in the body are interconnected.

 The expected learning outcomes:

•        to develop an understanding of how different organs in the body function

•      to understand how different organs in the body interact with each other

•      to comprehend how exercise and our food affect our lifestyle

      During this unit we will be doing a lot of research work to find out about our mystical human body. 

 We began with trying to figure out how our human skeleton looks. The students were given a bag of cut outs and were asked to create something with it. Take a look at how they finally figured it out........

Post this, we moved on to the internal organs that are found inside our body. We tried to figure out what was what and where is it found within our body.

We had Ramon sir come to class to help us unfold the central idea and show us how physical exercises are connected to the well being of the human body.

We explored different books on the human body and read some interesting facts.

Stay tuned for our human body systems projects.    

     In Math, we continued to explore addition and subtraction with money. We were toooooo excited to go shopping and buying things from different shops.

The highlight of the week was to have our friend Jason join us in class through Skype. It was wonderful to have him with us even though he is in Thailand. 

                                                             We miss you J......NNRS.
