Fun at Nesta

 This week began with a full day trip to Nesta Resort ! Although the weather wasn’t great we still had a lot of fun! 

When we returned to the class, the students each researched how electric energy is produced from different materials, or how things such as batteries or electric generators work. They then shared their research with the class by presenting a diagram to the class and explained how it works.

During language class we listened to the rest of our classmates personal narrative stories and voted on them to decide who would get the various awards - Scariest story, Happiest Ending, Most Improved Handwriting, etc. Awards will be presented on Monday!

Finally, for the very last project of Grade 3, the students are working on projects that show how energy is being transformed. Some are creating Rube Goldberg Machines (Pythagoras Switch), while others are creating a vehicle that is powered by some form of energy, or are assembling electric circuits using Snap Circuit boards to demonstrate how alternate energy sources can be used to generate electricity. They will present their projects next week.

Speaking of next week, we only have two and a half days left of Grade Three!!! I’m sure that they will be very busy! Please send your child with a large bag or two to start packing up their things. We will try to start taking things home on Monday, with most of the things being sent on Tuesday, and the rest on Wednesday.

Pizza Party

On Tuesday, we will have a class farewell Pizza Party so you won’t need to prepare lunch for them on Tuesday - but they will need a lunch on Wednesday even though it is a half day, they will eat and then be dismissed at 1pm.
