HIS Grade 3: Fun and work!

Dear Parents and Students,

Another successful week is on its back! Students did well in all the tests and during class they were all very productive and energetic.

We started to talk about Halloween. On 27 October we will have a Fancy Dress Day at school. Students, you may dress up in a beautiful or funny costume for our Fancy Dress Day - it does not need to have a Halloween theme. So start thinking about something creative to wear on October 27^th. We will send home more information closer to the date.

More exciting news for our students

is that our Mid-Term Break is from October 28^th to November 1^st. The school will re-open November 2^nd.

That is not all! There is more!

On Monday, October 11^th, there is no school for students. A professional development day is scheduled on Monday so teachers will be working hard while you are having a free day!

Curriculum progress for week 6:

Math: We finished Chapter 4 – Addition.

Science: We studied the two groups, vertebrates and invertebrates, and we can categorize animals into the two groups. We also learned about extinct animals and endangered animals.

English: We did the 3 different tenses, present, past and future tense and we worked with verbs.

Reading: We were very productive and did a lot of comprehension, sequence of events and cause-and-effect. Next week we will start with poetry!!!

Science Project:

Each student has to choose an extinct animal he/she finds interesting. Students need to do research on this animal (we will also use one of our science classes and make use of the computer room at school to do some research on the internet). They then have to make an attractive poster with interesting facts and come and present it to us on October 22^nd.

Our Student of the Week is Sharon Tang! Sharon is an outstanding student who is a good leader and a hard worker. Congratulations, Sharon!
