OJCS Grade 3 / Kitah Gimmel

Hi my name is Georgia and I am the blogger of the week. I am going to start of the week with a video to say hi!

In Hebrew we are doing tefillah here is a video of tefillah to show you. I enjoy tefillah because we get to sing and have fun.

In Hebrew we are doing the blue book. The blue book helps us with our new Hebrew words.

In gym class we played a game called Shark Attack. You had a rope and a scooter and there was an island and a safe place and a not safe place. You had to get from one side to the other without being caught. We worked on our teamwork and collaboration. This means you have to work together. If you do not understand here is a video.

We read a story with Ms Signer. We read a story about a boy who was not allowed to learn to read because of  the colour of his skin. The book is called More Than Anything Else.

There is a new blogging group and there is a lot new bloggers, ready to get started.
Here’s a picture of them.

Here we are playing math games for Pi day.

 

In Hebrew we play a game called Catch the Ball. Morah Sigal throws and whoever catches has to answers the question. We have to speak in Hebrew and we can ask for help from our friends.

In English we are reading a book called MR.POPPER’S PENGUINS. We are researching about penguins in computer time and using the things we learned with Miss M in the blogging group to make a google doc.

In Hebrew we were working in our yellow book. We read the sections from the Torah and we answer questions. We are practicing our hebrew writing. 

I led the anthems today here is a small video.

In music we were making our own rhythm and singing songs with Mr R

At the start of the day, we get quiet time to read. We read books for about ten minutes then we start our work. 

In French we did a lot of things this week! We did reading our French play which is about the animals in a swamp throwing a surprise birthday party. We had to figure out scrambled sentences from the play and put them together to make a sentence. Monsieur P read to us a Robert Munch book. Here are some pictures.

The shinshinim came into our class and did Eurovision! It was so fun, we all had to practise a song which was by an Israeli artist and we had to perform the song, lip syncing and dancing. Here is a video of the class doing it.

In Art we are making Egyptian cats and writing our names in hieroglyphs.

This week I led the class with the anthems

Hello, my name is Adam and I am blogger of the week in Grade 3. I found this week a really good experience because everyone worked really well. I felt good being the blogger because I got a chance to write about all the great things we do in class.

Before I get started here is me leading the anthems:

On Monday  we worked in our French folder. In this folder there are crosswords word searches and secret codes.

We are working on a play ( French play) called les animaux du bayou.I love this play it is about a mouse named Susie and it’s her birthday and she  wants to play outside with her friends but they made a surprise party.

I was in a group of 4 and we practiced reading the play. For the first reading attempt, the part I chose was Susie.

Here is a picture of three more groups reading the french play.

In Hebrew we do  tefillah תפילה – this means tefillah in Hebrew. Tefillah is praying to god and singing prayers. Here is a video of tefillah. I am showing yigdal in this video.

Here is someone in my class speaking Hebrew.

In my Hebrew book on page 25 you need to fill in the blanks the options are…יש ,זה, זאת, אלה, שלי, יש לי.

Everyone knows most of the words,but אלה means ‘those’. I am really proud of my work.

Here we find out what work is happening in Hebrew:

Gym is my favourite subject it is so fun. On Monday we played castle ball and it is so fun! There are 3 skills: building and defending and attacking. Here are photos. It was a tie! Two people made a small castle and defended it like nothing!

I’m passionate about taekwondo.I love taekwondo I would like to share that so you might do it to. 

We are reading books. Oh I forgot! The book challenge! Here is a photo to show you. Some people love reading so much. I also love reading so much.

In General studies we’re starting STEAM fair. What is STEAM fair?Science technology engineering art and math. For STEAM fair we are working on some stable structures. Me and my friend are thinking about making cardboard zip line.

On Tuesday we continued with STEAM fair. Here is me and my friend doing work. We have lots of work to do on STEAM fair.

The new blogging group is just about to start.The people in the blogging group are so excited. Here is a video with the 2nd blogging group.

Here is a previous blogger of the week sharing her blog with the class.

The STEAM fair is getting even better because of the structures. We are all making great structures for STEAM fair.

We worked on our structures. We need to make it move 50 cm or 1 m to hold 100 grams.The pairs are really good because they work really good together. Most people have created cars and 1 person has created a zip line. Here is 2 people creating a car they work great together. Here is a video to show you.

In STEAM fair we have fun with the art I am so excited to see others structures.

Mrs. Cleveland can and taught a lesson on patterns, we learned about the core of a pattern, the repeated rule,

Growing /Increasing, shrinking /Decreasing, are keywords. Did you know music is a pattern, doesn’t have to be 2 figures and or just getting higher.

Two people from robotics are explaining ibot 4 square.(4 square for robots)If You stop………YOUR OUT!!! We are so excited to play 4 square. Here are my friends in robotics having fun and excited. My robot went straight at the corners it was so fun.(SO FUN!!!) I like robotics because you’re learning how to program a robot.

In Hebrew, we get homework. Every day we have a yellow folder and get a slip of paper.(Hebrew paper)  all write what the paper says we read what homework we got yesterday. Here is a video to show you.

Translation in Hebrew.

אנחנו בעברית .

בכל יום יש לנו חוברת צהובה ומקבלים פיסת נייר.

There is a Hebrew game called catch question it is my favourite Hebrew game EVER! When someone gets the ball they answer the question Morah Sigal gives us.

We have shinshinim! The Shinshinim are…Liam and Imbar. They teach about Israel. They say a rocket launched to space. It will land on the moon  on April 11th. Today with Liam and Imbar we are playing checkers. I moved 2 and got out everyone is trying to get the flag. Someone put the flag in their shoe.

The next game is a quiz about what we have learnt in class today. You’ll hear in The options why.the options are…sydor,soccer ball,flags,CD,moon view, necklace,Israel, model of a airplane, mazooza.

On Wednesday I was chazan. Chazan is a leader at singing prayers. They also say the way you do the prayers and call the number in Hebrew. The other people follow what The chazan sings what type of way they want to.

In Hebrew we have happy faces and sad faces. If we earn lots of happy faces, this leads to reward time, but sad faces lead to less reward time. I am so happy that I have more happy faces then sad faces. No book takes a little from your free time. Here is a chart with happy and sad faces and what we did so far.

Here is a class photo to show some hard work we have done. A special thing for all of the work we done in English this year.

Mr.R is our elementary music teacher. He taught us about classical music, and did some fun videos.

In the library we have so much fun reading books, someone is reading a book write now. He is probably zoned in.

 In English we are reading “Stone fox”. I think it is a great book.

In computer time, we go on  google docs and create blog post drafts.

Here is a class photo in gym.

With Mrs. Cleveland we are working on patterns in tables.
We are working on grade 5 math!

Hi! I’m Sacha and I’m the blogger of the week. I am going to tell you about what Grade 3 does during the week.

When you sing the anthem your hands have to be on your sides. I lead the anthems this week:

In French class, first we work inside our blue folders that have French word searches and crossword puzzles.

Then we work on a story called La Goutte de pluie that means The Raindrop.

At the beginning of English we read books for 10 minutes.

Sometimes we work in our journals the challenge today was to write 20 lines. Challenge accepted!

We are working on an Ontario project.You pick a partner and a city in Ontario.You and your partner go on an IPad and find facts about your city then you post it on google docs. Once you are finished writing on Google docs you print it out.Then you put it on a folded piece of paper with a map of Ontario on the front but you have to draw a dot where your city is.

This is a video about our class working on the Ontario project:

Some people are presenting their projects, showing their excellent speaking skills.

Every day we get Hebrew reading homework.We glue the homework in our yellow books and copy the writing in cursive.

Here is our Hebrew book work:

In tefilah there are chazanim they are the leaders of tefillah. Here is a video of one of our prayers called עלינו – aleynoo:

We play a game where Morah Sigal throws a ball at one of us and asks that person a Hebrew question that we have to answer in Hebrew.

On Wednesday it was a snow day. The first one since 1998.I am asking some people what they did during the snow day.

Today we are in the computer lab and making blogs like the one you are reading right now.

IF you bump into a bowling pin or some throws a dodge-ball at you, you go to the middle and roll a dice to see what exercise you have to do.
