This week our students participated in a field study to The National Music Centre - Studio Bell. Our students were able to explore the many interactive exhibits within the museum. The Grade 3 students explored different pitch and volume throughout the different instruments that they were able to interact with. Pitch describes the highness or lowness of a tone. Volume describes the loudness or quietness of a sound. Our students have been learning about safe and unsafe decibels and safety measure they can take in order to protect their hearing. Students in Room 12 have been creating different musical instruments during exploration time, as well as creating a physical representation of the ear system and how it works.
We have begun to explore some Social Studies topics this week such as quality of life. We discussed needs versus wants and what important traits make us feel happy. In Math this week, we have been exploring "How much is 1000?". Our students chose an object to measure in centimeters and then they had to multiply it by 1000. Once they had completed their math, they were required to find a popular building about the same size as their items if they were stacked on top of each other. We are using Keynote to create book pages about our "How much is 1000" problems. Ask your student to share their math sentence with you. Mrs. Montgomery and Mrs. MacNeil Comments are closed.
