This week we learned some vocabulary used in writing greeting cards for the Jewish New Year.
We created some greeting cards for friends in the class, and sent them out using our school mail box.
We discussed different greetings for other occasions and practiced them. We learned one way to learn new vocabulary,
and practiced it in class as a preparation to for a new story about Rosh Hashana.
Have a good week.

Music – Wendy Forster
G3 have been having fun in music; we’ve been listening to music from around Asia and trying to guess where the music comes from. What makes the music sound Chinese, Indian or Malaysian? They have been learning about different rhythms and how they make different patterns; how percussion instruments make their sounds and why they are called percussion and how we can fit different rhythms together to create our ostinato just for Grade 3.
