Red Cape and Dangerous

We are now in a different country. Here we say "hola" for hello, and "si" for yes. I am in front of a famous building, where a sports event happens. This sport is very popular in this country and involves a man with a cape and an animal. Can you guess the sport, and the country. The city we are in is a big city in the Southern part of this country (at the bottom on the map) and begins with the letter "S".

Hasta luego room 4 and year 3..

South Morningside Primary - Edinburgh

This week room 4 skyped Miss Fair from South Morningside Primary in Edinburgh. It was morning time for us and when Miss Fair moved her camera to the window it was pitch black. She is behind us in days.

Miss Fair is a year 4 teacher and she has a very different accent because she is from Scotland. It was a bit freaky because we were talking to someone on the other side of the world!!!! We talked all about our school. We explained to her that we are an Environmental School which means we take care of our gardens, have lots of trees, a worm farm, our gully and we work hard to be sustainable in this school. We have recycling bins and if we have any food scraps we put them in the worm bins and then they get taken to the worm farm by the year 3 worm farm monitors. The worms eat the scraps make worm poo and worm tea and we put it on our plants to keep healthy and strong.

We are going to make some videos for the kids at South Morningside so they can see what our school is like.

Where In The World Is William Mc ......

Hi Everyone

We have made it to Europe and we stayed in a very big city.  In this city there are lots of very old buildings and also a very tall and famous tower.  Here we say bonjour for hello and we also eat lots of baguette and croissant.  Can you guess the country, city and the famous tower?

Hope my photo gives you a clue if you have any information on the famous tower I can let you know if you are right? 

Thanks

William

Where In The World Is William Mc ......

This term one of our year 3 students left to go on an adventure "Around the World in 2 Terms".  Using our year 3 blogsite we are going to follow William Mc on his travels and try and guess what the amazing places are he visits. 

While he is away William Mc will send us some photos and give us some clues about where he has been or where he is right now.  Our challenge will be to use the clues to post a comment back to William Mc telling him where we think he might be...

We are going to learn lots of information about different countries around the world and it will fun to see William and his family along the way.

Keep visiting our blog to find "Where In The World Is William Mc" ......

A morning with Paula Green

Last Tuesday Paula Green came to visit Meadowbank School. Fiona (our librarian) invited Paula Green so we would be inspired to write poems.

Paula Green is a New Zealand poetry author and he favourite author is Margaret Mahy. She lives at Bethells Beach with 3 cats and 2 dogs. Charlie one of her cats is fat and famous because she wrote two poems about him. Her husband illustrates her poems.

Mrs Green gave us a challenge to write the smallest poem, it had only 10 words, one for each finger and "My Bicycle" poem.

We thought she was amazing and we are going to put some of our own poems on our blog.

Our New Name!!!

At last year 3 has a new name for our blog - Welcome to Our World. We voted for our favourite name using a google survey, 39 children voted for this name. We think they choose this name because it sounds exciting and it makes you want to come and see what we are doing in year 3.
