Fractions flowers Created By Room 3

These flowers were made by Room 3 students as part of fractions learning.

Why should we make fractions flowers?     Room 3 students believe that this is a great way of learning about fractions.                                     Making fractions flowers is fun way of learning fractions says Ayla because it is fun ,beautiful and Maths and Art  are put together.                    

We also think that it is not only fun learning but these flowers can make nice gifts too.

On Wednesday 17th of May Ahmed and I got chosen to go to "Garden to Table " special class.

The first thing we did was to go to our vegetable garden and get some fresh vegetables. Then we came back to the hall and started preparing some yummy food.

We made some vegetable soup and delicious garlic bread.We made some cake with strawberry strips.After that we took a taste test.It was a great experience!

Bucket Fillers and Bucket Dippers

Room 3 is learning about bucket filling. It goes like this. Everyone carries an invisible bucket.

How do you fill a bucket?

You can become a bucket filler when you are kind to other people or when are polite.Being helpful is a good thing.It fills your bucket. You feel really happy when your bucket is full.

When you fill other's bucket you will fill your bucket too. Fill someone's bucket by showing love and sharing.

Room 3 chose some letters of the alphabet that will help us fill our buckets.

C   stands for caring for other people.

H   stands for being helpful

P    stands for being polite

R    stands for being respectful

F     stands for being friendly

L    stands for being a good listener.
