3A this week

It's another week 3A, and another week full of English! Doing your homework is very important, as is making sure that you come prepared to school. That means, that you need to make sure that you bring your folder with all the worksheets I have given you, inside neatly. You also have to bring a pencil!!!!!!!

So we started learning about adverbs last week, and this week we were introduced to comparative adverbs. Doesn't that sound familiar??? Yes it is! Very recently we learned about comparative ADJECTIVES. How is that the same to comparative adverbs. Well both comparative adverbs and comparative adjectives are comparing something. Remember adverbs are formed from adjectives!!!!
Eg. Slow is an adjective. To make it a comparative we add er: slower. To make it an adverb we add ly: slowly. To make slow a comparative adverb we add more: more slowly.

1. Adjective: The slow boy walks outside.
2.Comparative adjective: The boy is slower than the girl.
3. Adverb: The boy walks slowly.
4. Comparative adverb: The boy walks more slowly than the girl.

Due to a printing error I could not give out the usual spelling list, but students have copied it from the white board. I hope the problem can be rectified.

Note that the song for the month is Forever Young by Alphaville. Here is a link to the Youtube video with song lyrics.

Today for Science we read the book The very hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carlisle, as an introduction to our new lesson on the life cycle of a butterfly. Hope you enjoyed listening to it as much as I enjoyed reading it!
